Plate Tectonics

I have learned alot about them one thing that i have learned is that when two plate are gonna collide the one that is less dense will go on the top and the one that is more dense will sink to the bottom becoming magma. The layers of the earth are the outter layer which is the crust but another name for it is (lithosphere)which are were plates and rocks are, and that is the thinest of them all. Following that is the Mantle and that is the thickest and there is were the magma is stored also known as were the convection currents happen. After that is the ineer core and that is were it is made out of liquid metal and they generate a magnetic field. Lastly is the Inner Core which is made of solid metal and is very dense. Now about Seismic Waves scientist study the way they bounce of of the inner and outter core and stuff like that they see what direction they go and how they reflect from it. They also there are two different types of waves called the "S" wave and the "P" wave.

  • List Of The Tectonic Theory-
  • They rub together and past eachother
  • The layers of the earth
  • Lots of pressure in them
  • There is a hot spot
  • Location of the landforms
  • Puzzle look
  • Fossil locations
  • Age of the sea floor
  • Converging Boundary
  • Diverging Boundary
  • Transform Boundary
  • Subduction happens
  • The convection currents
  • Ocean sizes
  • Climate
  • Mid Alantic ridge

Conference Update (:

So far what i have learned in here is alot i have learned alot about science this year including the things, how erosion and deposition affect the weathering of mountains. Theories will never bacome a law even if it has a great amount of evidence. We also learned about how evidence and ideas are a two way circle type thing. Also we learned alot about and particles and how it works with and around like everything i am saying that when you think about it its like everything is made up of millions and millions of particles. Along with like everything we have learned about has somewhat been involved having particles to help it move or to help it function. Another is that we learned about the water cycle and how it works we also learned about that alot last year. I never knew that classifying rocks could actually be fun because it kinda is, you have to feel the rocks and closely look at them along with having to know the deffernce of the rocks.

DAY 3 science project

The results from today are weird because the dry one is now hotter than the wet one. So far our hypothesis is right we said that the dry one will heat up faster than the wet one i think that we werer gonna be right in the first place. Right now nick is waithing for the five minutes to get over so that he can check it. The temperture right now are at dry one being 62 and wet one being 52. Now nick went to go check on the project to see if any progress was made. Right now we all arew observing other peoples projects and to see what progress other prople made. We are now observing them again and they have not changed one bit.

day 2 of blog post

Today we decided to use sand instead of soil because I forgot to bring the soil in. We filled the beakers with the sand. the one with water with the sand is heating faster than the one without water. we think that that is very unusual because we would think that the one without water would get hotter than the without water because the light is getting direct contact to it.The first result we had in five minutes is that the one with water was at at 39 AND the one without water was at38 that was very unusal that that would be like that.

Day l of project

Today we are thinking about a research question involving weathering and erosion. At first it was tough thinking of a question because we were trying to think of something not similar to anybody elses project. How does moisture affect the heating of soil would be our research question.Including these obejects of soil,lamp,water,thermometer,and containers.

my grade

I think that i should get a B because i do my work on time and i am mostly on time. Also i think that i should get a B because i work hard and try to get the meaning of science.I like to add on to other peoples ideas and make my own i dea i enjoy listening to other people but at the same time i like talking to other pople. Being on time is hard for some people but for me its not really the hard thing is that i forgot my notebook like twice you could say. My attitude is like a rollercoaster i am sometimes moody maybe once a week,otherwise i have a pretty good attitude.I would agree that i do get off task sometimes but rarely. That is why i deserve a B.
