1. What are 3 scientific facts that you learned from watching Journey to the Center of the Earth?
I learned that there is nothing but heat and magma at the center at the earth, magnesium is famable, and muscavite is thin.
<3
2. What are 3 things in the movie that were scientifically untrue.
Theres NO:( forests or water at the center of the earth, dinosaurs are still roaming, and listening to animals.

PLUTO!!!!!!
i think pluto is still a planet because they call it the dwarf planet. Also because it revloves around the sun, its spherical too.

Global Warming 8(
Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's air. Yes i do believe in global warming because you can tell that the summers we have are getting hotter and in antarctica, ice is melting and that's not normal. Also because of the harmful rising sea levels. the smart people say: Most scientist believe that human activities threaten to disrupt the earth's climate, our most reliable tempature data show no global warming trend, and the best strategy to pursue is "no regets."

RECYCLE!!!!!!
- We recycle glass because it saves the equivalent of 9 gallons of fuel.
- Recycling is better than reusing things.
- We recycle by using your blue recycle rollout cart to collect your recycable.
- The closest recycling bin is near our trash can.
- Plastic can be made into soda, water bottles, milk jugs, detergent jugs, shower stalls, paint brushes, drain pipes, plastic lumber, and flower pots.
- Metal can be made into cans, automobile parts, sidings, appliances, and building materials.
- One way I can support recycling is to recycle.

Dear Mr. Dunn,
I think I deserve at least a B. Why? BECAUSE I DIDN'T REALLY MANAGE THEM ENOUGH.......BUT I WILL ONCE I GET BACK ON TRACK. HOPEFULLY I'LL UPDATE THEM OFTEN, LIKE EVERYDAY AND CHECK ON THEM WHENEVER I GET THE CHANCE.(OH YEA, I DID THIS SO I CAN WORK ON MY CAPITALIZATION, AGAIN...next time i'll get 80/80...

VOLCANOES!!!!!!
I think the most dangerous is a volcano because if you get in the way of a volcanic eruption you'll just die point blank.....I know if i get in the way of an eruption i'll die!!!! Even if i try to run away,(knowing me) i'll get tired and still die so, yea , a volcano is much more dangerous than an earthquake...an earthquake is just shaking the the surface a volcano is BURNING THE SURFACE...yeaa...
THE UNCOMFORMITY
The order of the rock layers are DAEBC. D, because it is very obvious that it is/was the bottom layer, E is next because you don't see it laying on top of A & D so that one is second, third is A because that layer was possibly on top of D, fourth, B, C is the yougest because it is on top of B so it must have occured after layer B was made. The first unconformity was that layer A was not following the principle of original horizontality. The other unconformaties were C & E because they weren't originally there.

- A scientist would be able to tell the age of a tree by looking at its rings because the rings are the years that the tree has been there. Say for instance if you cut a tree down and you look at the middle you'll see a lot of light colored circles and for every line, it is a year.
- This would be useful to scientist because besides rocks it also dates earths history.
- I think this is an example of relative dating because of how the circle are in the tree and it looks like they are in order.

diggin' for the earth's core:))
1. The world's deepest mine is 3.6 kilometers deep.
2. In order to get to the mantle you'll need to get through 35 km of rock.
3. If my friends and I tried to get to China through the center of Earth, as we get to the mantle we would see hot rock, possibly some fossils...bones maybe...we will surely experience some muscle cramps, from digging, probably suffer heat stroke before we get to the end of the mantle. If we make it to see the outer core, you should know we'll get burned alive or we'll might just melt because the outer core is liquid hot metal.....keyword: HOT....anyway..if the suits we have on are so strong we can get to the inner core it still wouldn't help us get through, why? well the inner core is iron, I know of no tool that can get down there without melting and cut through the iron so we could get China....

Dear Mr. Dunn,
I THINK I SHOULD GET AT LEAST A B FOR ALL OF MY BLOGS FOR THIS QUARTER BECAUSE I DIDN'T REALLY MANAGE THEM ENOUGH.......BUT I WILL NEXT QUARTER. HOPEFULLY I'LL UPDATE THEM OFTEN, LIKE EVERYDAY AND CHECK ON THEM WHENEVER I GET THE CHANCE.(OH YEA, I DID THIS SO I CAN WORK ON MY CAPITALIZATION....::))
Rocks....rock!!!
1. The two types of igneous rocks are intrusive and extrusive. Intrusive are rocks that form underground. Magma is underground so the intrusive rock will most likely form from magma. Some examples of intrusive rocks are diorite, granite, and gabbro.Extrusive rocks are rocks that form above ground, probably from lava. Some examples would be obsidian and pumice.
2. The two types of metamorphic rocks are foliated and non- foliated rocks. foliated rocks are metamorphic rocks that have a layered or banded structure. non-foliated rocks aren't banded. some examples of foliated and non-foliated rocks are gneiss, slate, quarzite,and marble.
3. Two of the three main types of sedimentary rocks are clastic which are formed by mechanical weathering debris. the other is chemical whic is formed by dissolved materials the precipitate from solution. Some examples of clastic and chemical sedimentary rocks are snadstone, shale, limestone, and rocksalt.

robinson

My favorite map projection is robinson because it is the most common one basically. I really think its easier to read, besides all of the others. And well its the clearest to me. I also like it because it has an original name. Others like the conic and the gnomonic, I am not used to seeing. The mercator, well, I've seen a few times.

Astronomy

I think astronomy sounds interesting, because I love to learn about the different names and how they named them, and I want to know more about the planets, for example, I wanted to know why they said pluto isn't a planted anymore.Astronomy, before I knew the acual definiton, I thought it was just stars and planets, but as far as studying them I didn't think that was possible, and I just want to learn more about how to be an Astronomer. I also wanted to know all the names of the galaxies, stars and all of that good stuff.
