Of all the chapters i have learned about in science my favorite part of the Weather and Climate (Earth's Atmosphere) section was when we learned about earths winds. My favorite part of the Weathering and Erosion section was when we made the podcasts with our groups. My favorite part of the Earth's Waters section was the supply and demand experiment. My favorite part of the Astronomy section was learning about black holes. Finally, my favorite part of the Geology section was learning about different types of rock hardness and how to find how hard a rock is. in all my favorite section for the hole year was the Astronomy section because space and whats in it has always astounded me.

Water cycle

the water cycle is a continuous cycle. a puddle might be sitting on the street one fin sunny day and within a few hours the puddle will have evaporated then as the water vapor rises it cools and condenses into clouds. after the water vapor has condensed it will then start to fall back as rain and become a puddle again.

coloados waters

The fresh water for Colorado Springs comes from snow melt. The snow from the mountains melts and is transported by pipe to reservoir to reservoir and then is piped to Colorado springs.denver colorados Primary water sources are tle Blue River & South Platte River, but Other water sources for denver are the Fraser River, Williams Fork River, South Boulder Creek, Ralston Creek, Bear Creek. in all denver and coloradosprings have very different water sources.

Penny Lab

Place a drop of water on a penny and see how many you can fit befor the water flows over the side.

about 4-6 drops could stay

24 drops stayed

the water has surface tension a witch keeps it from flowing all over and it has co heshon too witch makes it stick to the penny.

the ogallala aquifer

On my visit to the ogallala aquifer on the great planes. I visited the ogallala because i was studding it for science to discover how the great planes soke up water into aquifers. The aquifer is underground and extremely large. this aquifer the largest fresh water aquifer in the U.S. This aquifer revels that earth has little fresh water. people are using the aquifer far too fast for the aquifer to replenish itself witch means that the aquifer will soon run out.

Earthquake webquest

1. The place where most earthquakes happen geographically is on the edges of tectonic plates and the literal place where most earthquakes happen is along the boarders of the pacific plate
   
2. Earthquakes are caused by tectonic plates rubbing and bumping into each other.
3. This area of extreme earthquake activity is also known as the ring of fire.
4. the closest earthquake to Colorado Springs was located at 40.953°N, 106.930°W, details of this earthquake are that it was a magnitude 3.2 and these are the areas that it was close to 31 km (19 miles) SSW (202°) from Grand Encampment, WY32 km (20 miles) SSW (203°) from Riverside, WY52 km (32 miles) E (100°) from Dixon, WY162 km (101 miles) WNW (286°) from Fort Collins, CO215 km (134 miles) NW (310°) from Denver, CO many people would also be able to feel this earthquake because it was close enough to the cities and towns to be felt.
5. The earthquake i wanted to examin was a magnitude 7.4 and occered at Thursday, January 15, 2009 at 17:49:39 UTCFriday, January 16, 2009 at 03:49:39 AM at epicenter at 46.862°N, 155.156°E.
6. people can protect themselfs from earthquakes like this one by adding earthquake protection to there houses and keeping breakable items in protective cases.
