1. What was your favorite Geology topic this year? Why?

My favorite thing about that section is the vocanoes. The reason being is that the way they work and how the lava flows it looks like you can touch it and it would feel like gooey slim. Or at least i wish i could.

2. What was your favorite Meteorology topic this year? Why?

My favorite part was the hurricanes, tormadoes and thunderstorms. i like these because i love the rain and hurricanes and tornadoes just fasinate me with their destructive power.

3. What was your favorite Astronomy topic this year? Why? (Include a picture for #1, #2, OR #3)

My favorite topic was black holes. Its amazing how we can observe them but we cant get very close to observe them.

 

4. What grade do you think you earned on the Final Exam? What did you do to prepare? Is there anything that you wish you had done differently?

What ever grade i made is what i deseve. I study hard and every night. I do wish i looked over the practice exam more.

1. What made the Big Bang "bang?" In other words, why didn't the universe just stay in a tiny little sphere the size of a golfball? More details = more points.

Maybe when the planets and stars started to grow and as some died and expelled gas and dust the little "ball" got "full" and caused a big bang.



2. What do you think would happen if you went into a black hole? Scientists only know what happens until you get to the event horizon. Anything beyond that is really just an educated guess. More details = more points.
I think that we wouldnt die. we would be circleing around the event horizion and enter the p.o.s .  Then we would shrink and eventually wind up some where else. Perhaps we may end up in another universe i don't really know.

 
  3. Tell me what you think about worm holes? When you pass through one, where do you go? WHEN do you go? More details = more points.
I think wormholes are.....really cool. Considering it takes a black hole and what is called a white hole to form one. I hope that if i go through one i will enter a opposite unverse from ours.

Planet Quest (when you get to this site, click on "4 ways to find a planet" on the right side)

1. What are the four ways scientists can detect planets?
Radial Velocity, astrometry, transit method, and optical detection.


2. Which way makes the most sense to you? Explain it.
Radial velocity makes more sense to me. Measures slight changes in the position star that happens as it is tugged to and fro by a planets gravitational pull. The changes in direction can be detected by measuring the Doppler effect, the change in frequency of light waves caused by a stars motion away from or torward an observer.



The Goldilocks Zone
3. Explain the concept of the "Goldilocks Zone."
The Goldilocks Zone is an area of space where a planet is just the right distance from its home star, or sun, so that the surface is neither too hot nor too cold. This means that the planet could possibly have liquid water.


4. If Gilese 581c does have life, what do you think it would look like? How would it act? Would it be intelligent?
It might look like us or like weird creatures. I hope they would act nice towards us and we could get alond with each other. I think it would be intelligent. I hope they are talking craetures.


 
5. Do you believe in aliens? Why or why not? Give me a solid paragraph.
I do believe in aliens. There has to be another race out in our big universe. I highly doubt we are the only ones alive.

1. What is the primary gas in the Jovian atmospheres?

Hydrogen and helium.

2. What is the primary gas in Mars and Venus?
It is Carbon Dioxide.
3. If you had to visit one planet, which would it be? Why? Give me a solid paragraph. (consider many factors such as location, temperature, atmosphere composition, and anything else you you feel is important)
I would want to live on Mars because its similar to earth and seems to be more quiet than compared to here.

Dark matter
Dark matter is the form of matter of unknown composition that does not emit or reflect enough electromagnetic radiation to be observed directly, but whose presence can be inferred from gravitational effects on visible matter. An example be holding to of the same magnets(Positive and a positive) and watching them unable to connect with each. This is not black matter but it is a simple explanation for it.



Dark energy
Dark energy is the theory to explain the apparent rapid expansion of the universe. There is much evidence for the presence of dark energy but little is known of its nature.

Andromeda Galaxy
This is our spiral neighor galaxy. It is bigger than ours and some of its stars can be seen in the andromeda constallation.


Xena
Planet Xena is an orb circling the sun that was first discovered in 2003. Its official name at this point is UB313.

Nebulae
Its a cloud of gases and/or dust resulting from a star explosion.

1. Which blog was your best this quarter? Why?
I think my best is blog post #5 because it is really fun to do wordles and mine is really cool looking.

2. What topic did you enjoy learning about the most (from chapter 17-20)? Why? Include a picture.

My favorite chapter is 20 because that is where they talk about thunder storms and i love it when it rains and thunders cause i get to listen to it.

3. What grade do you deserve for your 3rd Quarter Blogs?

I think i deserve more than a 90 because i have completed them on time and they are well informed. There might be spelling mistakes but that is all i hope.
