Grade I Deserve

The grade I think I should get is like a B because i did most of my blogs for this blog check. I think I did a lot better with getting my blogs completed.

Favorite Earth Science Topics

Geology-In this section of the book, I liked the minerals. The thing I liked about minerals is the different types like diamonds,quarts, and feldspar. I also liked how they were formed; there are four major processes by which they form.

Atmosphere- The one thing I really liked about the atmosphere was the clouds. This was my most favorite because I learned a lot about the different types of clouds and the kind of weather and temperature it brings. My favorite cloud is the cirrus cloud.

Oceanography-The part of this topic that i like the most was the ocean floor. I liked this part because it talks about measuring the sea floor and the features of the ocean floor. Also I like that it tells about what's one the ocean floor.

Astronomy-The part I love about this is learning about the plantes and whats in the solar system. I enjoyed learning about the planets and what type of planets they are (Terrestrial or Jovian). I also enjoyed learning about the different type of things in the solar system.

Hertzsprung Russell Diagram

1. On an H-R Diagram, what is the main sequence?

The main sequence is the main part of the diagram that is made up of stars.

2. What percentage of stars are main sequence stars?

The percentage of stars that are sequence stars is 90%

3. Is the Sun a main sequence star?

Yes. The Sun is a main sequence star.

4. What will happen to the Sun next? When will this happen?

The Sun will turn into a Red Giant. This will happen billions of years into the future.

5. Include a picture of an H-R Diagram. Explain it.

Factors that effect the Wind

1. What 3 factors effect wind?



The 3 factors that effect wind are the Coriolis effect, Friction, and Pressure gradient force.



2. Which of the 3 do you think has the greatest effect? Why?

The Coriolis effest has the greates effect because it's the reason nothing falls straight down.



3. What would happen if this factor (from #2) all of a sudden stopped? Remember to include details about what might happen in your response.

If it were to all of a sudden stop then everything wouldnt curve on Earth. Everything on Earth would just fall straight down like an airplane in the sky if the Coriolis Effect jut all of a sudden stop.
