Dynamic Earth


http://www.mnhsi.edu/earth/main_frames.html

 We are leaning about Earth in Science. Inside Earth it is really hot, and there are 5 layers. The hottest layer is Inner core. The Crust is thin as the apple's crust and it is the layer we stand on.The Mantle is the layer beneath the Crust and 84% of  Earth's volume is Mantle. The Core is the deepest and the hottest layer in Earth.
 Meteorites are mostly seen in midnight and they represent new messengers from space .They are formed at the same time and in the same way as Solar System and Earth, so they give us message about the origin of our planet.
  The peridotite rock is from the inner core, and it flies out with the lava when a volcano erupts. Diamonds grow by drops of water underground and when it gets old it turns into a solid and becomes a diamond. Diamonds can be found in underground or caves. Diamonds travel from the core to the top of the Earth with a rare magma called kimberlite and lamproite
  For me it is very intresting to learn about Earth and space .

Blog about leaning about Earth

I learned from the Bill Nye  that Earth has 3 layers and they're called core, outer core, mantle and crust. The temperature in the Earth is 1,500 degrees Celsius. Also the things that cause earthquakes are called tectonic plates. When a strong earthquake happens it's said you can feel it a bit on the other side of the planet.

What I want to know is a lot about volcanoes,  for example, what happens when the volcanoes erupt? Also how far can the smoke of the volcano go? Also, how far can a lava go ?

reflection on labs

For my making water wetter lab report grade I am satisfied with my results.  It was an interesting lab, but a hard one. Although I had mistakes , the information is quiet accurate and good. What went wrong is there was couple of confusions in my group.
    For Cooling races my grade was better than usual when  the labs are in question. What was good was we got to finish fast and nicely. There was  no trouble in the lab except the questions were difficult.
