Geologic time - Permian Time

SUMMARY
The Permian time was a system of rocks of the seventh and last period of the Paleozoic era, this time was characterized by the formation of the supercontinent Pangea, the rise of the conifers, the diversity of reptiles and in this time the Earth was covered by a giant ocean called Panthassa and ending with the largest known mass extinction in the history life.

PROJECT REFLECTION

1.What did you enjoy most about this project?

The part that i most enjoyed in this project was when i was making the video because its cool to see how we can create a  video with pictures and make it our own style.

2.What was the most challenging about this project? Why?

the most challenging about this project was when i was looking for the information and pictures for my period because its hard to choose what information will be right to use and which information will be bad to use because i did not wanted to choose the wrong information but also it was a little hard because at the beginning i did not understand what was going on but i figure out how to do it.

3.What you change about this project and why?

I will like to take a quiz and do not have to explain my video because there is some many students who like to laugh of our mistakes and i don't feel comfortable doing that and i think that it will be good if we decide to take a quiz and see how much we have learned

4. What are three things that you have learned form this project?

The 3 things that i have learned from this project are that during the Permian time the continent of Pangea was formed, and that during the Permian time the most massive extinction have occurred and also that the Earth was covered by a big ocean called Panthalassa.

Stars Blog Entry

1)What is a star?
 Stars are big balls of gas mostly are made of hydrogen and helium and it can be of different color, size, temperature, luminosity. Stars come from a big cloud called stellar nebula, stars live a long time and then died in a big explosion called supernova.

2)Types of stars

The different types of stars are supergiants, red giants, main sequence and white dwarf stars.

-supergiants are the most huge stars in the universe and their color are red, they are mostly cold and they are bright.

Red giant are large stars and also have a red color this stars are cold and bright.

-Main sequence are usually medium size stars, the color of this stars are usually withe yellow and yellow.

A big group of stars that forms a narrow band from the upper left to the lower right, according to luminosity and the temperature on the H-R diagram.

-White dwarfs are young stars and have a smallest size, this kind of stars are usually dim but this stars are really hot and this stars have a white color.

3) H-R Diagram

H-R Diagram is a instrument that the astronomers use to classify the stars dependent their characteristics such as luminosity, color, spectral type, color, temperature,and the age of the stars, that's how we now how bright or dim, how hot or cold, how big or small a star is, also help to know the color of the stars and how old a star can be.

4) NUCLEAR FUSION 

Nuclear fusion is a process of the nuclear reactions inside a star, which change two hydrogen gas molecules into a helium molecules, this is how the stars make energy by this process called nuclear fusion.

5) THE CYCLE OF A STAR

Is the process of the star starting when they born until they died and another stars born this cycle can take millions or billions of years until ends. Stars born from a huge cloud called stellar nebula, There is three kinds of stars that have a different cycle of life and this stars are:

-The sun like a star who born from the stellar nebula becoming stars like the sun and then becoming a red super giant star and then becoming a planetary nebula after this the star become a white dwarf and for end it becomes a black dwarf.

-Huge stars born from a big cloud called stellar nebula becoming a huge star after this this star become a red super giant star and then explode in a big explosion called supernova after this the star collapse again and become a neutron star.

-Giant star born also from the big cloud called stellar nebula and become a giant stars after this the star become a red giant and died in a big explosion called supernova after this the star become a black hole  

Mercury

• Mercury is the first planet in the solar system.
• The distance from the Sun is 77.3 Million km.
• Mass 33,022 x 10^23 kg.
• Diameter is 4,880 km.
• Rotation 59 days 
• Revolution 88 days 
• Mercury has no moons
• Terrestrial
• Planet Description
  • Mercury has no true atmosphere and it is the closest planet to the Sun ,also this planet is covered in craters, these are caused by the meteorites and asteroids that hit the planet.          
  •  If you were to stand on Mercury, the Sun would appear two and a half times bigger than what it looks like from Earth.                                                                               PLANET FACTS
    • Mercury was named after a Roman god.
    • Is the second smallest planet.
    • Mercury has the largest eccentricity, it has 0.206. 
                                            

The Earth

-The Earth is the third planet according with the sun.
-It have a distance of 150 million km form the Sun.
-The mas is of 1.00 km
-The diameter is the 12,756km
-The rotation is 24 hours
-The Earth revolution is the 365 days
- It have just one moon
- Earth is a terrestrial planet



The Earth is situated in the third place according to the Sun and is the fifth largest in the Solar System. Earth is the only planet that have oceans of liquid water and support life, it has moderate temperature and an atmosphere that contain air.
The Earth is a beautiful planet and is the only one planet that have an atmosphere that cause most meteors to burn up before they reach the surface helping to protect life-forms from meteors and the effects of the Sun's intense radiation.

Hurricane Irene Project

Critical Thinking

1. What time if the year do hurricanes occur? Why do they only happen during that time?

The hurricanes use to happen in the summer between June and November must commonly. They just use to happen on this time because the temperature is warm and helps the hurricane to get stronger, help it for the strong wind, the warm water of the ocean and the waves.


2. How can the timing of the tides (high or low) effect the devastation of a hurricane?

If the tide is higher the hurricane is going to cause more damage. The water of the ocean is already up so when the hurricane come, the water is going to increase even more than the usually.

3. If an area is fully saturated, will a hurricane have more or less impact on a area?

The hurricane is going to affect more that zone because the water ground is completely full, so the water it doesn't have a place to go, so the flooding are must probably to happen. When the precipitation or rain happen, the water is not going to have any place to go.

4. How does ground water saturation affect rivers and streams? 

The water ground saturation affect rivers and streams because the groundwater is full, so the water of the precipitation that has send rain, snow, in a big amounts, so the water would start going to the rivers and streams.


Reflection


1. What is something that you liked about this Mini-Project?


I really liked the way in which we can created a site in the internet and use and make it cooler. 


2.What was difficult for you in this project?


Actually all this project it doesn't was hard for me because i already know something about this topics, but the only thing that i get complicated is to answer the question of my Critical thinking.


3.What would you change about your work on this project?


I would change the way in wich I answer the Critical thinking making it better to understand.


4How did this project help you learn about Hurricane Irene?


I have learned how the hurricanes are formed, what are the effects, what cause the hurricanes and how they can affect our lifes.
