Planet Earth
Transcript: Science Project By:Michael Sawers 7N/K Original Remains is a type of fossil that has unchanged remnants of plants or animals. Some examples are: - Organisms being frozen in ice. - Organisms being trapped in sap, which later turns into Amber. - Bones, or teeth. Below is a picture of a mosquito trapped in sap, which is now amber- The Golden Toad, Also Known As- Bufo periglenes, is an extinct animal that was found in the wonderful location of Costa Rica! It is often thought that the golden toad was wiped off of the earth because of Global Warming, but scientists say it was caused by something called EL NINO, which causes severe dryness. It lived in the Phanerozoic Eon, the Cenozoic Era, the Quaternary period, and the Holocene Epoch. It was last seen on May 15, 1989. Coal? Tell me more! THE HYDROSPHERE is the layer of water on a planet in a solar system like rivers, lakes and oceans. Many people think it is only in the form of water, but it is also in the forms of vapor and ice! On earth, the hydrosphere is found on the surface of it, underground and in the atmosphere. CONTINENTAL DRIFT IS CAUSED BY convectional currents moving the tectonic plates in various positions. There is also evidence for continentall drift because of the continents being able to fit together, and of fossils being found on different continents instead in their natural places and why they wouldn't have been in other places. For example, there were animals that were able to swim in salt water, but only stayed in one place! I love lustre...what is it again? Planet Earth A massive earthquake that took place in 1868, measuring a 7.9 on the Rictor Scale, killed 77 people, 46 of which from the Tsunami, and 31 from landslides took place in the KA'U district on the Island of Hawaii. The Tsunami that resulted from the earthquake measured up to 15 meters! Chemical Weathering, or Biological Weathering, is the effect on rocks, soil and minerals from chemicals found in the atmosphere. To the right is the result of recent acid rainfall on an umbrella plant. The Original Remains of what? THE MAUNA LOA TAKES UP HALF OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLAND THE BIG ISLAND! IT FIRST EXPLODED IN 1843, AND IT'S LAST ERUPTED WAS IN 1984! no one has died from the last eruption because evacuation took place beforehand. Extinct animal: The Golden Toad Metamorphic Rocks are 1 of the 3 main rocks in the rock cycle. They are rocks that have changed shape or form by undergoing heat and pressure. An example of a metamorphic rock is a schist. Schist can be formed from basalt, shale, or slate! Schist Mauna Loa Erupts! Lustre is the way that light is relfected off of a rock, crystal or mineral. There are different types of lustre, like metallic, pearly and silky lustre! Hawaii's Largest Earthquake Shakes Citizens The Kanaskis Range in Alberta,CAN. On this range, peaks are named after ships and people who were in the naval battle of Jutland. The Mauna Loa Volcano! Coal is the largest electricity producing energy source in the whole world! Coal is mostly made up of Carbon, and can be found in many places of the world. It is most abundant in China, which in 2010, had produced 3.162 billion tons of coal! IT'S MORPHING TIME! The Kanaskis Mountain Range! HYDROSPHERE! WHAT'S THE REASON FOR CONTINENTAL DRIFT? What do you mean, Chemical Weathering?
