What grade do I deserve?

I believe I deserve a 100% on my blogs. I deserve this grade because I have all picture, my grammer is correct, my information is complete and detailed and I also have true info.

My Favorite Subjects!!!

My most definate favorite topic in Geology was when we studied volcanoes. This is one of my favorite blog topics because there are so many parts to it. There are three types of volcanoes, shield, cinder cones, and composite cones. The summit of these volcanoes are called craters. But I also learned that composite cones can be very dangerous.

My favorite topic in astronomy would have to be the stars. There are giant bunches of different stars. Another thing I like is the constellations there are many different types but all can make some kinda shape using imagination.

My favorite topic in Oceonagraphy was learning about the ocean floor. I learned what was included like trenches, seamounts, and the ocean basin floor. It was cool to learn about the layers aswell.

My favorite topic in Meteorology was learning about cold fronts and warm fronts. Also learning about cyclones and anticyclones. We also got to learn about tornadoes and how hurricanes start.

Hertzsprung-Russel Diagram

1. The main sequence of the HR- Diagram is to show the relationship between how bright a star is and how hot it is.

2. The percentage of main sequence stars are 90%.

3. The sun is a main sequence star.

4. The sun will explode about at least 1 billion years from now.

5. The HR-Diagram has all hot stars to the left and cooler stars on the right. This diagram also gives you an idea of the brightness and dimness

Stars

1. Name 10 stars.

Acrux, Adhil, Ain, Alcyone, Alcor, Al Anz, Algenubi, Algorab, Algol, Alfirk, and Alhena.

2.Choose one star. Which one did you choose?

I chose the Acrux

3. What kind of star is it?

AN acrux is a crux star ( southern cross)

4.Are there any planets that orbit this star? Tell me about them.

There are no planets that rotate this star it actually orbits the milky way.

5.What galaxy is this star a part of?

This star is part of the milky way but its right on the brink of not being part of it.

6.How far is the star from Earth?

It is 98.328 parsecs

Astronomy Topics

There are many choices that I have for my astronomy project. One topic that I can do is black holes. A black hole is a region of space that has so much mass concentrated in it that there is no way for a nearby object to escape its gravitational pull. Anything that gets sucked into this black hole cannot get out. Not even light is safe from this menace. Anything that enters the hole will be crushed into a smaller matter.
The Moon, of course, has been known since prehistoric times. It is the second brightest object in the sky after the Sun. The moon orbits the earth once per month. And yes if you didn't know the moon im talking about the earths moon. Almost every planet has at least one moon. I say at least because some planets have more than one moon.
Worm holes are very unique holes...or should I say tunnels that connect two or more points in space. One thing you should know is that they are highly unstable and would probably collapse instantly if even the tiniest amount of matter. Worm holes are very dangerous but if we can learn to control them we can start traveling anywhere in space.
Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and is commonly referred to as the Red Planet. The rocks, soil and sky have a red or pink hue. The distinct red color was observed by stargazers throughout history. It was given its name by the Romans in honor of their god of war.Before space exploration, Mars was considered the best candidate for harboring extraterrestrial life. Astronomers thought they saw straight lines crisscrossing its surface. This led to the popular belief that irrigation canals on the planet had been constructed by intelligent beings.
The big bang theoryis an effort to explain what happened at the very beginning of our universe. Discoveries in astronomy and physics have shown beyond a reasonable doubt that our universe did in fact have a beginning. Prior to that moment there was nothing; during and after that moment there was something: our universe. The big bang theory is an effort to explain what happened during and after that moment. There are many misconceptions surrounding the Big Bang theory. For example, we tend to imagine a giant explosion. Experts however say that there was no explosion; there was (and continues to be) an expansion. Rather than imagining a balloon popping and releasing its contents, imagine a balloon expanding: an infinitesimally small balloon expanding to the size of our current universe.

Factors that effect wind

1. The 3 factors that effect wind are pressure differences, corolis effect, and friction.

2. Corolis effect because the earths rotation can effect the weather and wind directions

3. If earth stopped rotating the earths weather would become boring and predictable.
