Geologic Time-Quaternary Period


Summary:
            The Quaternary Period is the youngest division of the Cenozoic Era. It is divided into two epochs the Pleistocene and the Holocene. The Quaternary period stared in 1.8 MYA to today. The Quaternary also called the age of man. The first human(homo Sapiens) evolve.

Reflection:
1.What did you enjoy most about this project?
        I enjoy working independently. because I don't need to care another people and I can do whatever
I want to, I don't to care another people idea.

2.What was most challenging about this project? Why?
       The most challenging about this project is search information about my period, before I choose this period, I didn't know anything about this period and only way I can go to is google and I have to know what information is wrong and what information is correct.

3.What you change about this project and why?
     Change about this project is I cahnge the blog wall style, because first I used a very cute blog wall, but Ms.Kara said that is not appropriate.

4.What are 3 things that you learned from this project?
     Three things that I learned from this project are The Quaternary period also called the the ang of man, when is the quaternary period started and what haapen during that period.

The Stars

 1.What is a star?
          The star made in a big clouds of dust of gas and is large ball and hat gas. But the look very small, because they long way away from us. The center of a star has nuclear fusion made heat. Star have many different color and size.

2.Types of stars
        The main 4 star types are Super Giant, Giant, Main sequence, and White Dwarf.  The Main Sequence stars are young. The star have many different color, size, temperature, luminosity and spectral class. The color has blue, white, yellow, orange, and blue white. The blue color is the hottest star and the red color is the coolest star. The white color is the brightest star.







3.H-R Diagram
           The H-R Diagram is a graphical tool that astronomers use to classify stars according to their spectral type, color, luminosity, temperature, and evolutionary stage.






4. Nuclear Fusion
            The nuclear reactions inside a star change two hydrogen gas molecules into a helium molecule. This process know as nuclear Fusion. This is how a star makes energy.





5.The Life Cycle Of a Star
        The star are born in a giant cloud that know as the stellar nebular. All star are come from stellar nebula. The sun-like stars will become a red giant, after that will explode into a cloud of dust and gas know as Planetary Nebula, and then will becom a white dwarf, after that turn into a black and cold object called Black dwarf. The giant stars will become red super giant, and then, the star will burst in a giant explosion called supernomen and then become a black hole. A black hole that sucks everything into it.








4. Nuclear Fusion
           Nuclear Fusion is the process by which two or more atomic nuclei join together, or "fuse", to form a single heavier nucleus.

Hurricane Irene Project

Critical Thinking

1.What effect does water temperature have on the creation a hurricane?
         The sea surface temperature must be in excess of 26°C.  The hotter the sea the stronger the Hurricane will be.

2.Why would there be more damage to an area during high tide?
        Because during the high tide the tide have more powerful, the wind and the rain will be more stronger and the sea level will be rise.

3.If an area is fully saturated, how will this be more dangerous for an area?
        If an area is fully saturated will be more dangerous for an area, because the area already have a lot of water, when the hriican comes where does the water go, that will bring a big flooding for an area.
   
4.Why would there be more flooding if the ground was fully saturated?
          If the ground was fully saturated would there be more flooding, because the ground already have large amounts of water, the groundwater will go up from under ground.            
Reflection:
1.What is something that you liked about this Mini-project?
           I liked about this project are I can learned something that t didn't know before, like what is hurricane and why did the hurricane happen?

2.What was difficult for you on this project?
           For my topic to found the cause and effect was difficulf for me at the beining of the project, because i dind't learn that before.

3.What would you change about your work on this project?
           I change the grammar and spelling make sure everything is correct.
4. how did this project help you learn about Hurricane Irene?
            I learned the way that  hurricane come from and what else can cause the hurricane.
