Testing Minerals

MINERAL PROPERTIES:
I searched five properties in the Mineral lab it was the:
Luster: we learned that it's Metallic or Non-metallic
Streak: that show's us it's colorful or colorless
Hardness: is about that tell us is it hard or not
Cleavage: that shows us it's Cleavage or Fracture
Other: in other we found that it's Magnetic or Non-magnetic

REFLECTION:
What did you enjoy most about this project and why?
I like this project because I learned about different types of rocks and I know that the some of minerals has different color or shape but they both have same characteristics.
What was the most challenging for you during this project and why?
The most challenging part for me is when I find out about all minerals and about their properties which is really hard for me to know.
What new skills did you learn from doing this project?
I learn about the different minerals that we can find in the earth, there is a lot of different rocks that they have different color and different shape.
Is there anything that you could have done to improve any of your work? Explain.
No! I don't have anything that I had improved.

Photographic Evidence ( Animoto Video )

Lithosphere: summary
Theory of plate tectonic:
Plate tectonic is a structure of earth that is in  different pieces of earth. It has different parts. There is also theory of plate tectonics that is a theory of structure of the earth. It shows us how the plates move and how it's work. Another convection currents is a movement of molecules with in fluids (gases, liquid) and how it help plates to move around. This all system call continental drift.
Normal Fault:
There is different types of faults the one of them is normal faults that breaks in rock when rocks moves down. The other one is reverse/ thrust that moves in upwards. And the other one is strike-slip that past rocks from each other.
Continental Drift:
Continental drift is a hypothesis that one continents formed single landmass, and then it get broken in many pieces and it get separate in many parts the first creator who searched about how the drift were created, his name is Alfred Wegener he also searched about pangaea how it was look like and after that how it got change in different continent formation. He also prove that some evidence are puzzle, fossils, rocks, record, and mountain range. He found this in 300 million year ago.


Asthenosphere: Summary
There is different types of boundaries. The one of them is divergent Boundary it is causes ridges it mostly happening when two plates move away. And the other one is convergent boundary when two plates come together, when they come together they forms mountains. Transform mostly causes earthquakes it's happen when two plates past from each other. Hot spot is the earth surface area where is volcano happening it's a causes of lava/ magama.


Photographic Evidence: Summary
There are many types of boundaries. There is convergent boundary. Convergent boundary is when two plates come together and make a mountain. Subduction Zone is when two plates come together and one goes to another one. It happens when there is continental and oceanic plates. Oceanic plate goes under it's heavy. Divergent boundary is when two plates move away then Mid-ocean and Rift Valleys happen. There is also Transform boundary when two plates past from each other and it effected by earthquake. Fault zone is when two plates goes up and down and slide from each other then earthquake happens. Earthquake happens when earth shakes and it's destroy things like houses, buildings, and its also effected by tsunami. Tsunami mostly happens when earthquake happens under ocean it destroys things, houses, streetlights, and any thing that comes in its way. Hot spot is the hottest place in the earth and its effect Volcanoes.


Critical Thinking Question- 
Do you agree or disagree with the theory of plate tectonic? Why or Why not?
 I agree with the theory of plate tectonic because when I learn about these layers they tell us everything about the plate tectonic even they have a lot of evidence to prove that the earth's plates move and which are also causing natural diseases. Scientists have been proved that many year's ago and they searched about this many times that they prove.The evidence are that we could prove is there are some plate's that moves are plate  boundary, convection current, and continental drift.
Plate boundary is a evidence that prove 3 different types of boundaries and also the causes of boundaries like earthquake, volcanoes, tsunami, trenches, and mid-ocean ridges and mountains. convection current that shows us the earth's plates move 3 inches every year. And the other one is continental drift that is a evidence, that shows us the 300 million years ago the earth was in Pangaea after that it started to broke in many pieces and it got change. These are the evidences that shows us that the earth's moves.





REFLECTION-
1) What did you enjoy most about this project and why?
I really enjoy in this project because it's really interesting project I learned about earth parts, earthquake, volcanoes and different parts of earth's.
2) What was most challenging for you during this project and why?
In this project every thing was easy for me I really enjoy in this project nothing was difficult that was challenge for me.
3) What new skills did you learn from doing this project?
I learn about this project is how earth moves and how earthquake happens and how Tsunami come and also I learned about volcanoes.
4) Is there anything that you could have done to improve any of your work? Explain.
No because I have done with every thing and there is nothing to improve.

Seasons

VOCABULARY WORDS:
Seasons- there are four seasons in the earth. موسم 

axis- Imaginary line in the center of the earth. محور

Tilt- is a line that causes seasons. ٹلٹ 

Revolution- earth's movement around the sun. انقلاب 

Polaris- a bright star located in north. ستارہ

Orbit- an abject movement around the another object in space. مدار

Equator- a line that is center of the earth that divide into two parts south hemisphere and north hemisphere. خط استوا

Ellipse- is a oval shape. بیضوی

Hemisphere- half of the earth.

direct sunlight- when sun hits the earth in astraight line (hottest days) براہ راست سورج کی روشنی

Indirect sunlight- when sun hits the earth at on angle (coldest days) بالواسطہ سورج کی روشنی  

SUMMARY:

There are four seasons in the Earth, summer, winter, spring, and  fall. The seasons are caused by Earth's axis that is tilted of the 23.5 degree. This tilted has four seasons of the year-summer, winter, fall, and spring. Direct sunlight when the sun hit the earth on straight angle during summer. Indirect sunlight is during the winter when sunlight hit the earth at on angle. And also earth divide into two parts southern hemisphere and northern hemisphere.

Critical Thinking Question:
Question: How is earth affected by movement (revolution)?
The Earth is affected by movement is when earth rotate on it's axis that causes day and night and it take 24 hours. When earth moves around the sun it cause four seasons summer, winter, fall, and spring. It takes 365 days (one year). Earth's axis which is tilted also plays an important role in causing seasons. When moon moves arounf earth it takes 27 days and causes 8 moon phases.

REFLECTION:
1) What did you enjoy most about this project and why?
I enjoy most about this project is when we learned about diferent moon phases and also all seasons in the Earth, summer, winter, spring, and fall. when I draw pictures of  all seasons.

2) What was most challenging for you during this project and why?
The most challenging part is when we make video and when we use alot of pictures to move around.

3) What new skills did you learn from doing this project?
The new skills I learned from this project is how to move pictures during making video and how to use them during making video.

4) Is there any thing that you could have done to improve any of your work? Explain.
I could have done to imrove my vocabulay words and drawings in my work. I had worked very hard and I improve many things in this project.

geologic time mississippian period

The carboniterous period ocourred from about 254 to 290 million year ago during the late paleozoic
era the "carboniferaus" comes from England in reference to the rich deposits of coal that occour there. The system was adopted distinguish the coal - bearing layer of the pennsyluanian from the mastly times tone mississippian.

~I enjoyed in this project because it's realy interesting to do if you know how to do.
~Most challenging part in this project is when we have to make a blog and find pictures because it's really hard to find pictue and write information about that.
~I didn't change anything in my project.
~Three Things :
1)How to make blog
2)Geologic time scale project/ geologic time period
3)How to use website to find information
