Renewable Resource



There are many renewable resources but there is one specific one that I am mostly in to out of all of them. The renewable resource is solar energy which is the sun's rays that reach earth. Solar energy can be converted to thermal energy or heat energy and are used to heat water and heat spaces. Solar energy can convert in electricity in two ways photovoltaic and solar power plants. Solar energy is used for heating pools, heating water, space heatings of buildings.

Thats why solar energy is my favorite because with out it we would not have the energy source we have now.

Anthony's Earth Science


My favorite thing about earth science is meteorolgy because I think It's cool because I would like to know about climates and weathers of different parts of the world.

Another thing is that as soon as you get a hurricane or a tornado are anything close to that then you could instantly see whats happenning to the storm and it's effects. You can also see what category the storm going to be and where the storm going to start and end at.

Anthony Earth Science Corner


My most favrite projection is the robinson projection because it is the most popular projection since the early 1960's and it shows the whole world at one time. The robinson projection my favorite since it also shows a equal area projection and some projections are nothin like the robinson projection.
