definitions 

Rapid process of erosion- rapid eroding 
Slow process of erosion- slow eroding 


examples 

some examples of rapid process of erosion one example is earthquakes, they are an example of rapid process of erosion because they happen normally very fast and when it happens it is very dangerous. another example of rapid process of erosion is volcanoes they are very dangerous once they erupt and it is very unknown once it happens. landslides are also an example of rapid process of erosion because they are also very dangerous. all these examples are rapid process of erosion because they all happen very rapid and once they happen that are very dangerous.


details- volcanoes 


  • Volcanoes are formed when magma from within the Earth's upper mantle works its way to the surface. At the surface, it erupts to form, lava flows and ash deposits. Over time as the volcano continues to erupt, it will get bigger and bigger. 
  • the types of volcanoes are : Shield, Cinder Cones & Composite Cones. The earth ejects lava, rock fragments, hot vapor and gases during volcanic eruptions
  • The most active volcanoes in the world are  Kilauea volcano on Hawaii is the world's most active volcano, followed by Etna in Italy and Piton de la Fournaise on La RĂ©union island.

examples

an example of slow processes of erosion is weathering, this is a sl ow process of erosion because it happens pretty slowly and it is not quiet dangerous 


details- weathering 
  • Weathering is the breakdown of rocks at the Earth’s surface, by the action of rain, water, extremes of temperature, and biological activity. It does not involve the removal of rock material.
  • There are three types of weathering, physical chemical and biological. 
  • Erosion is the process by which soil and rock particles are worn away and moved elsewhere by wind, water or ice. Weathering involves no moving agent of transport.

Mechanical and Chemical Erosion


 Mechanics erosion- Is the process of breaking big rocks into little ones. This usually happens at the surface of the planet. Temperature also affects the land. The hot days and cool nights always make things expand and contract.









Chemical Erosion- Is when rocks are broken down,there are many types of chemical weathering, including hydrolysis, oxidation, carbonation, acid rain and acids made  by lichens.

wadi field trip

As we walked through the wadi that was once a ocean millions of years ago.The sand filled our shoes the same as the experience filled our heart. the experience of the hike is one I will always remember, the view, and the passion of completing the hike. even though our legs were sore and the sun was shining at us with extreme heat we defiantly loved this field trip. 

As Mr. bill explained how the rock was made of lime stone. When he put the liquid of 10% acid and how it made the rock and sand fizz up, it was marvelous to see what a liquid could do! As Mr. Bill said the oldest rocks are at the bottom of the sand. As he handed out some fossils such as oyster shells- the oyster shells looked a lot different from each other because of where the oysters were living in different places, he also showed us clam fossils, snail fossils , sand dollar fossils and plankton fossils. he also said that there are 2 animals that got extinct they are the Baslasorus which ate sharks, the animal that defended them and was also extinct is the Magladon . The Magladon was last seen 2 million years ago. a fun fact Mr. Bill said was that the ground that we are standing on is actually 50 meters sea level and some of the hills are 300-400 meters sea level! 

some simular things that I saw at the wadi and at our class stream table were that they both had canyouns and sand.

science experiment 4

before picture 


  Question:

can you minupliate the direction of the water flow? 
Will the cubes stop the water adn create a dam?

       



        Hypothesis: 
i think the ccubes will not stop the water from flowing because the water will find a way and still create a river 


           

             Meterials:  fine sand, rough sand, a ruler,  plastic cup with a small hole, clay bucket, wooden wedge and a stream table. cubes- small and large 





         Prrocedure  :  

  1.  we set up the computer 
  2. we put the clay, fine sand and rough sand into the big tray 
  3. we mixed the caly, rough sand and fine sand
  4. we put the wooden wedge unnder the strem table 
  5. we placed the stream table at the edge of the table 
  6. we placed the bucket under the table 
  7. we placed the ruler then on it the the plastic cup with a hole at the bottom 
  8. we added the cubes 
  9. we createda dam 
  10.  then we poured some of the water into the plastic cup with a hole 
  11. then the river started accuring



        Observation

Virtual Reality Experience

throughout my virtual reality experience i was amazed! it looked so real. the water fall was personally pretty scary i felt like i was going to fall. and the grand canyon was amazing it was miraculous and I felt that I was actually there it was an amazing experience and an amazing way to show people the different things on line all in a "phone" and it seemed so real! I think it is an amazing invention for who ever invented the virtual reality it was overall superrrr cool it is a memory to remember! a question I have is that who invented the vertual reality and when did they invent it and how did they invent it are my questions

APL QUOTE






                            "Don't raise your voice, improve your argument."

                                                                                                     -Desmond Tutu 

I think this quote is very nicec and it might mean when you are agueing do not get mad and raise your voice you should make your agument strong and you shoul improve your points. this quote is very good because you should definetly not raise your voice in an argument and you should always try to make your opinion stronger. My thoughts about this quote is that it has a very good mesage and you should try to cousider that when you are argueing.
