4 questions that I don't know


  • 1 - What do you think the global average temperature is?  This means the average for everywhere on Earth, day and night, for an entire year.  Explain why you answered what you did. Answer- 98.6 because its the temperature of our body and it seems relative to the earth.
  • 2 - People are often talking about "global warming."  How much do you think the average global temperature has increased in the past 100 years?  Do you think that this is a lot? Answer- 42.8 degrees up. I think its a lot.
  • 3 - What do you think is the hottest the Earth has ever been? (since there has been an atmosphere?)  How about the coldest the Earth has ever been?  Explain why you answered what you did. Answer- 120 degrees for the hottest and -120 degrees for the coldest. Because like australia is really hot and its been way up there and for the coldest i'm thinking about antarctica and the ice age and how those places are so cold.
  • 4 - Are you concerned about "global warming?"  Why or why not? Answer- yes because the atmosphere gets warmer and thats bad. Its hurting the animals and making more animals endangered and the water levels are rising, and that means that there will be less land because the water will take it over and we will get gills and become sea creatures.

the party (or parties) at fault for the gulf oil spill

I am doing the party (or parties) at fault for the gulf oil spill. I think there are many people at fault here. Like, BM managment because they should of known what to do if this happens and they should make sure everything is and will work. Another one is The president of BM because he is the big man of this operation and its funny how a month after this started happening, he quit. I think he knew that some of this was his responsibility and he didn't want everyone to come running at him, telling him to fix it and how he ruined the ocean so he just quit. Also I think we are at some fault because we told them to do it and we were the ones who wanted the oil so bad that we didn't care that that might happen, reckon I bet we didn't even think of this happening but still, we told them to so we are at fault too. I think all these 3 parties had some fault in the operation.

Dante's Peak

The good things were:                                      
1. Testing the Ph balance on the volcano, when gas come up into the water and the balance goes up.
2. They use a real CoSpeck, to see how much gas is in the air
3. they use a real size monitor, it measures small movements in the volcano

The bad or non accurate things were:
1. They would have died when the pyroclastic flow came because you cannot out run it and they had no tires on the car.
2. Right when they left Grandma's house they lava came through it and it would of been really hot when they were in it so they would have died.
3. When they were driving over the lava, they couldn't do that because they have a gas tank and they would have caught on fire and they would have died.

Fossil Homework

This is a starfish fossil. Fossils are preserved remains or traces of animals, plants or organism's from the past. This fossil is A Mold or Cast. It is because the original remains dissolved and the mud or sediment seeped in and made a mold.





This is a mammoth fossil. It is a Original Remain because it was frozen and it is almost completely intact. They are preserved in its entirety.
