Note Taking Earthquake

Continental drift is the hypothesis that states continents on one formed single land mass, broke up, and drifted to the present location
Alfred Wegerner wrote a hypothesis of continental drift
Wegener observed it he calls it Pangaea in Greek it means all earth  
Submerged Mountains run though Atlantic Ocean
Underwater Mountains ''Mid Ocean Ridges"
Sea-Flooring spreading is the process by which new oceanic lithosphere forms as magma rises toward surface
Tectonic plates cause earth quakes in our earth
In the tectonic plates there are other things in side that move
The earth layers can fold,compression and tension
There is also faulting happening in the earths layer

Bag It Reflection 2

It was one of the best films i have ever seen. It shocked me when i saw the video. It did not know all these things. We use plastic every day of our life. I do not think we could survive without plastic. The thing that shocked me is that all the plastic we let loose of kill animals and pollutes our planet Earth. I actually very shocked of all the plastic being produced ever second. It was very crazy that there are wholes and patches of things in the ocean. The animals are going there to eat it and they just die. What if the plastic bag that you let goes into a fish mouth then u eat that fish. Sea food is getting scary for me. It had no idea that plastic bag can cause toxic things to your kids. From no on i am going to recycle and try to not use that much plastic.

Bag It Reflection 1

There are a lot of bags in this world. More than you thing.Plastic bags are made from fossil fuel, which relates to our debate. When fossil fuel is gone its gone. Lots of places in the world are trying to to reduce the use of plastic bags. In class we learn to recycle and reduce so it relates to earth science. When you let go of a plastic bag and let it go in the air it will go to some ocean and kill the marine animals. That relates to our science job careers. The oceanographer need to take care of the ocean and will know a lot about it.

 

Energy Notes

NOTES

- We do everything with energy

-There are 2 types of energy 

- Stored Energy= the food energy the one you eat know as potential energy 

- Working Energy= kinetic energy when you do an action like jumping 

How is Energy Generated 

-3 Example (there are a lot thou)

-Coal= Coal is created by electricity consumed by USA. Most coal is reserved in USA. Recover Oil 

- Water= Generated electricity. Now it is good energy source

-  Biomass Energy= this is a home grown energy source including trees,farm land etc.

How does Carolina get Energy 

- Flows by electrical power or charge 

- primary source is used to make energy coal,natural gas,oil etc.

-It could be renewable and nonrenewable 

Why is energy important?

-save money

-help environment

-power plants 

-Mostly to save money 

Safety

-Using Electricity can be dangerous sometimes 

- To not put things that are not suppose to be in the plug in there 

- Do not get it wet 

-Do not touch electrical wires and stuff 

 

My Rock Cycle Contract

Here it is!!!!!!!!

Please take a look and do it!!!!

The Rock Cycle

Rock: natural solid from under ground
Rock Cycle: Process from old rocks make new rock
Erosion: process which wind, water, ice, or gravity transport soil and more from one location to other
Deposition: process in which material is laid down
Composition: chemical makeup of a rock
Texture: the way the rock feels and based on size and shape

- Rocks have been important since humans were alive
- Rock were used for tools
- Rocks are a very good building source it make building and more
- Some geologist make and destroy rocks
- Sedimentary rocks form when buried sediment is squeezed bye weight of overlying layers or sediment
- Buried rocks exposed at the Earth's surface by uplifting erosion
- Uplift in movement within Earth causes rocks inside Earth's surface to move
- Steps of Rock Cycle
1. Sedimentary Rock
2. Metamorphic Rock
3. Magma
4 Igneous Rock
5. Sediment
- The rock cycle keeps going on and on
- Scientist group the rocks into main classes
- Igneous: Magma cools
- Sedimentary: Divide in to more groups 
- Metamorphic: Divided in to more groups
- This is based on the rocks form
