Geologic Time Scale- Silurian




Summary: The Silurian is a geologic period at million ago. In silurian period the powerful animal. reefs are begin to build.the jawed fish appeared dring silurian.Some evidence suggests the presence of predatory trigonotarbid arachnoids and  myriapods in Late Silurian facies.



Project Reflection
1. What did you enjoy most about this project?
I most enjoy this project is can work independent. I like to work by myself. And research this my type. know about geologic time,
2. What was most challenging about this project? Why?
The most challenging about this project is doing the research. Research was the most fun part at this project. But also is the challenging part because I don't know anything about my type. So I have to find all the information about this type.
3. What you change about this project and why?
If I can change about this project I will change the teacher will be give us the information about the type. So i don't have a hard time for looking the information.
4. What are 3 things that you learned form this project?
- I learned what kind the animal have at my period.
-I learned the silurian period have different rock.
-I learned at the silurian period the sea are different to now.

The Stars

1.     What is a star?
Stars are large hot gases ball some of  are dim and some are bright.  The stars look small because the star far away from us. But actually they look big. Some star are bigger then sun. stars have different color and sizes.

In the center of the star is nuclear fusion. Is where the heat is made.  Star can classified in different type.  Like color, sizes, luminosity, temperature etc.


2. Type of stars
Stars are classified into different types. They are super giant , giant , main sequence and white dwarf. Also the stars classified into other different categories. Such as types of stars. color, luminosity,age ,sizes, special class and temperature.
White dwarf are old stars and dim. They color  are white. The temperature between 4,000-7,000,spectral class of white dwarf can be B, A, FMain sequence stars are young medium  stars that can be any colors, They have different luminosity and temperature. They all have different special class. Super giant stars are super huge middle age stars, that can have any color, temperature luminosity and spectral class.
                         
3.H-R Diagram
H-R Diagram is  a graphical tool to show the characteristics of stars. and classified them based on the luminosity, color, sizes. based on all the information about stars. also can define the special class.
                          
4. Nuclear Fusion
The star is born with a giant cloud the cloud gets smaller because the gravity. When it shrink it gets hotter and hotter. When it is hot enough, the star is born. This is nuclear reaction. Nuclear fusion help stars to make enery /it is the process of the nuclear reaction change two hydrogen molecules into a helium molecule. and enery inside the stars.
 
5.The life cycle of a Star
Star have a life cycle. it has the process. Every stars are born with giant clouds with dust and gas. This is called stellar nebula. But there is a different cycle between sun-like, huge stars and giant stars.
Sun-like stars born with stellar nebula which is a giant cloud with dust and gas, and then it forms a star, next step will become a red giant star, and the red giant star will collapse in to a cloud of dust and gas, this is planetary nebula, and it will become a white dwarf after it, and finally it die and become a black dwarf. Huge star born with stellar nebula too, after it forms a star, it become a red giant, the star will have a big explosion called supernova, and it become a neutron star. Giant star follow almost the exact steps as the huge stars, but unlike huge star, after the supernova, giant star will become a black hole.

Hurricanes Irene

Critical Thinking

1. What time of year do hurricanes occur? Why do they only happen during that time ?
  At the summer time. Because the summer time the ocean will warm. So the hurricane only happen at the warm ocean.
2. How can the timing of the tides(high or low) effect the devastation of a hurricane?
If the storm surge coming during the high tide. It will have more water coming form the ground. all the are will saturated. The hurricane damaged will increase.

3. If an area if fully saturated, will a hurricane have more or less impact on an area ?
 If an area if fully saturated, will a hurricane have more impact on an area. Because the area already saturated. If the hurricane come it will created a flooding in the area.
4. How does groundwater saturation affect rivers and streams?
Groundwater saturation affect rivers and streams have more water.If there have too much groundwater.The water level will increase. will created a flooding.



Reflection

1. What is something that you liked about this Mini-Project?
 To created the blog also I can learn different part of Hurricanes Irene.
2. What was difficult for you on this project?
To understand the vocabulary word.
3. What would you change about your work on this project?
I will double check my work. Make sure everything is correct.
4. How did this project help you learn about Hurricane Irene?

This project help me to understand. How the hurricane come from? What they do? How they effect of human?
