Last of all my blogs were done on time and I went through all my blogs to make sure all of them were answered to the fullest.
Favorite Subjects
Geology
In enjoyed geology mostly because.I learned about where dinosaurs lived and when dinosaurs and how they died. I learned a lot about dinosaurs this year then all my other years in school so i am grateful for getting a chance to learn about them.
Astronomy
In a astronomy I was my favorite i learned about black holes since I chose the topic on my Acp project. I learned a lot about black holes and how there massive and they suck in things that are near by.

Oceanography
In oceanography I enjoyed learning a lot about the ocean and it's various life under the sea. It interested me because I really didn't know about the oceans life until this year.
Meteorology
In meteorology I enjoyed learning about weather and it's patterns. I learned about temperatures can stay the constant and how they can decrease. Overall I loved how we learned about meteorology.

Astronomey Zone
Dark Matter
Dark matter is an explained as unseen matter that could make up more than ninety percent of the universe. As the name implies, dark matter does not interact with light or other electromagnetic radiation, so it cannot be seen directly, but it can be detected by measuring its effects gravitation . It is believed that dark matter was instrumental in forming galaxies early in the Big Bang theory.
Milky Way Galaxy
The milky way galaxy is the home of our solar system The milky way is- a spiral galaxy of at least two hundred billion stars. Our Sun is buried deep within the Orion Arm about 26 000 light years from the centre.
Star Constellations
Any of certain groupings of stars that were imagined by those who named them to form images of objects, mythological figures, or creatures in the sky. They are useful in helping sky gazers and navigators locate certain stars. A constellation's stars are often designated by its name and letters of the Greek alphabet in order of brightness.
Black Hole
black hole is a region of space that has so much mass concentrated in it that there is no way for a nearby object to escape its gravitational pull
Titan
Is Saturn's largest moon and the only known moon to have a dense atmosphere. Titan is composed of water ice and rocky material. The atmosphere of titan is simply nitrogen and its climate includes methane and ethane clouds

~Power ~Of ~The ~Wind~
1. What 3 factors effect wind?
pressure-gradient force
coriolis effect
friction
2. Which of the 3 do you think has the greatest effect? Why?
I think it is friction because it can changes the wind speeds and possibly directions.
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?
I think you could predict the weather because the air would always slow down.
