Factors that affect wind (whoo :])

1. What 3 factors affect wind?

-friction

-Coriolis Effect

-pressure differences

2. Which of the 3 do you think has the greatest effect? Why?

I think the Corilolis effect has the greatest effect on the wind because it completely changes the direction it.

3. What would happen if this factor (from #2) all of a sudden stopped? Remember to include details about what might happen in your response.

If the Coriolis Effect stopped all of a sudden then the wind would just blow North to South, straight across.

WOOOSHHHH. :] air masses

My favorites!!!! :]

Geology- My favorite topic in Geology was minerals. A mineral is a naturally occuring, inorganic solid with an orderly crystalline structure and a definite chemical composition. I liked minerals because it included things like diamonds, sapphire, and Amethyst (my birthstone).

Meteorology- My favorite topic in Meteorology was cloud formation. I'm a day dreamer and I like staring at the clouds (when I can see them). It was kinda cool to learn how clouds form and what type they are.

Oceanography- My favorite topic in Oceanograpy was Ocean water and ocean life. This was my favorite because my favorite animal is the clownfish and I love swimming. It was cool, I guess to learn about what lives in the ocean, even if we can't see it.

Astronomy- My favorite topic in Astronomy was Stellar Evolution and The Universe. I loved learning about The Universe because it is soooo super huge and it makes you think, "What else is out there?" I also loved learning about how stars form.

I think it is really awesome and pretty too.

H-R Diagram. shaaaa!!!!!!!!:)

1. On an H-R Diagram, what is the main sequence?



The main sequence is on a H-R Diagram is where most of the stars are at.



2. What percentage of stars are main sequence stars?



90% of stars are main sequence stars.



3. Is the Sun a main sequence star?



Ah yea, the Sun is a main sequence star.



4. What will happen to the Sun next? When will this happen?




The Sun will turn into a red GIANT in about 4 billion years. (really long time)



5. Include a picture of an H-R Diagram. Explain it.



On an H-R diagram, the colder stars are on the right side and the warmer stars are on the left. The stars on the bottom are dimmer and the higher up on the chart the stars are, the brighter they are. :)

Chapter 22 webquest shaaaa!!!!

I like these.....

• Search for Extra-terrestrial Intelligence is the exploratory science that searches for evidence of life in the universe. SETI looks for a signature of its technology.




• Titan (one of saturns moons)is the largest moon of Saturn and the second largest moon in the whole Solar System. Astronomers also think that it might have am atmosphere. Even though Titan's not a planet, it is bigger than Mercury and Pluto.




• Saturn's rings are only visible from Earth when you use a telescope. Saturn has seven rings that are made of ice chunks and rocks ranging in size from a grain of salt to as big as a house. They are extremely wide but super thin.




• Star constellations are groups of stars that come together to form a picture. They are amazingly beautiful. They can be seen more than one month.




• The moon is a satellite of Earth. The surface area of the moon is 14,658,000 square miles and it's 1/4 the size of Earth. From Earth, we only see one side of the moon all the time.
