Geologic Time-Mississippian period



The Mississippian time period lasted from 360 to 325 million years ago, a time span of 35 million years.
The Mississippian is a period in the geologic timescale or a system of the geologic record. Mississippian is long term the first time in the late 19th century, used to describe the sequence of rock, all over the place Mississippi.

1. What did you enjoy most about this project?
I was enjoy this project about the something long times ago fossil and rocks.

2. What was most challenging about this project? Why?
I think the most challenging this about the Mississippian how to description,because I can not find the information about Mississippian period.

3. What you change about this project and why?
I think I will change Cambrian period because may be have more information to easy to find.

4. What are 3 things that you learned from this project?
  • I learned something long time years ago about the fossils and rock.
  • I learned about what is the Mississippian in when did Mississippian period.
  • I learned something about the Mississippian events something what happen, for example mountains does not has plants covering them.

The stars

1.What is a star?
star is a large balls of hot gas.they looks like small because they are a long way away,is very big.star
has many different colors and sizes of stars.stars are made in giant clouds of dust and gas called a
stellar nebula.the cloud get smaller because of gravity,after is very hot to became nuclear reactions make star born.


2.Types of stars
There are has 4 different types of stars:White dwarfs, Main sequence, Supergiants and Giants.the
stars can classified by their color,temperatures,sizes,name,ages and luminosity.a white dwarf is a
small,very dense,hot star that is made mostly of carbon.Super giant is the largest and most luminous
types of stars,being a dying star,Giant stars are cold and bright,Super giant stars and Main sequence
stars can be any color and size.



3.H-R Diagram
H-R Diagram is a graphical tool,use to classify stars luminosity,spectral type,color and temperature.




4.Nuclear Fusion
A star is like a largest nuclear fireplace.when two hydrogen gas molecules fuse together to create
a different atom.this process is know as nuclear fusion,it is this nuclear reaction that gives a star its
energy.H=Hydrogen  H=Helium

5.The life cycle of a star
Stars are born in nebula.huge clouds of dust and gas collapse under forming a body star call protostar,these young stars undergo further collapse,forming main sequence stars,stars expand as they grow old.the core contacts and the outer layers expand,cool,and become less bright.

Hurricane Irene project

1.What is a hurricane?
Hurricane is a type cyclone and typhoon.
2.What is a high tide and what causes it?
The high tide is hurricane make a lot flooding,swirling and eye,to causes strong wind and typhoon.
3.What does saturation (zone) mean?
The area that is filled with water is called the saturation zone.
4.What is flooding and why is it dangerous?
Flooding is a situation in which an area of land becomes covered with water.It is dangerous because the flooding will causes heavy rains,ocean waves come onshore and the clean drinking water will became very dirty.

Reflection
1.What is something that you liked about this Mini-project?
I like this Mini-project about how did happen after hurricane.
2.What was difficult for you on this project?
I think this project is difficult i don't understand question,something i don't know how to answer the question.
3.What would you change about your work on the this project?
I would change about Groundwater on this project.
4.How did this project help you learn about Hurricane Irene?
I learn about Hurricane Irene inside things what will cause to hurricane,how it's happened for hurricane.
