Science Students,
It's time for us to play a little 1st Trimester review game... Please provide one "Fun Fact" from our studies during the 1st Trimester of Earth Science. You may list one golden nugget from Chapters 1, 2, 6, or 13, but you may not provide the blog with a fun fact that a classmate has already posted (first come, first served). You must also number your post. If you are the second student to log in, your entry might begin like this:
2) Alfred Wegener developed the Theory of Continental Drift.
Email or see me if you have any questions... Let the game begin!
2) There are about 9 million tons of gold that has dissolved in the ocean. Mining this gold would be extremely difficult and it would cost more to remove it than it's original value.

ReplyDeleteAstronomers know more about the sun and other nearby objects than they know about objects that are farther away in space.
4)rot
ReplyDeletethe decay rate of animals and plants would increase if the Earth's temperature rose
1) Tube worms can survive in waters as hot as 81ºF
ReplyDelete6) The mantle makes up 67% of Earth's mass, while the core makes up 33%.
ReplyDelete7) When stress is applied on rocks, the rocks can bend, or even break!
ReplyDelete9)Sea-Floor Spreading occurs near the Mid Atlantic Ridge.
ReplyDeletesorry correction
ReplyDelete8) Plankton are the organisms that live at or on the ocean's surface
10) Most pollution in the ocean comes from non-point source pollution
ReplyDelete11) All the layers of the Earth is
ReplyDelete1.Crust
a)Lithosphere
2.Mantle
A) Asthenosphere
B) Mesosphere
3.Outer Core
4.Inner Core
12)There were most likely many different super continents before Pangea, but we can't trace that far back.
ReplyDeleteI'm really sorry Mr.B but I really couldnt find any possible way to edit my blogpost so I am writing it now again. SORRY!
ReplyDelete1)Stalagmites grow upward from the floors of caves, and stalactites grow downward from the ceilings of caves. Both formations develop over millions of years in air-fillied caves.
13)The partially closed of part of the Gulf of Mexico has a high evaporation rate. If id did not have a high evaporation rate, the slanity would be higher if not for the Mississippi's fresh water.
ReplyDelete14) An azimuthal projection is a map projection that is made by transferring the contents of the globe onto a plane.
ReplyDelete15)Benthos live on or near the ocean floor

16)Most of the reason why tectonic plates move is because of convection. Convection occurs when hotter materials rise and and cooler materials sink.

17) Fossils of the mesosourus was found on the parts of South America and Africa that may have been connected which helped prove the theory of continental drift.

18) The Pacific Ocean can fill 1,200,000,000,000,000,000 bathtubs
ReplyDelete19) Some of the most significant evidence of sea-floor spreading comes from magnetic reversals recorded in the ocean floor.
ReplyDelete20) Nekton are the free-swimming organisms of the oceans. Some examples are marine mammals and certain types of fish.
ReplyDeleteThe crust makes up only 1% of the Earth's mass.

ReplyDelete26) The molten rocks at the mid-ocean ridges contain tiny grains of magnetic minerals, which act like compasses, and allign with Earth's magnetic field.

ReplyDelete27) the earth has four oceans, the Pacific ocean, Atlantic ocean, Indian ocean, and the Arctic ocean.
28) Contour lines are lines that connect points of equal elevation, while a contour interval is the difference between the elevation of one contour line and the next.
