=Which is the most dangerous? = ===**<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">I belive that earthquakes are the most dangerous because you can never tell if it is coming and most of all it causes other natural disasters like tsunamis and land slides. Don't forget that it will destroy all your food an water that means more people will die and the harder it will be to get back on track also that building will be cut down the trees and the nature will also be destroyed and people will have to live in tents and rely on other countries to do everything for them and especially if you are not a country that has not improved like Haiti and Afghanistan it <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">will be even harder. Earthquakes have magnitudes and the higher the number the worse the earthquake **=== ===**<span style="background-color: #fffcf0; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;">the numbers start from 1 and go all the way up to 10. In most areas of the world magnitude 10 never happens but the worst earthquake that ever happend in the world was the 1556, earthquake that happend on the 23rd of January in Senshi Province, China which killed over 830,000 people. <span style="background-color: #f51414; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;"> Weekly reflection: <span style="background-color: #fffcf0; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;">What I have learned this week is the many different natural disasters like bush fires and many more another thing I found out is what people think exactly a disaster and a lot of people said that a natural disaster is the worst. **=== =<span style="background-color: #0f24cc; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">Week 3/4 = =<span style="background-color: #f22121; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">Worlds 10 most deadliest earthquakes! =

Some of the things we use to measure are rulers measuring tape and also magnitudes. We use magnitudes to measure earthquakes another name for them is th** **e Richter scale. the Richter scale was made in America in 1935 by a man called Charles.F.Richter {1900-1985} who was a seismologist. he wanted to make this scale because back then they was a lot of earthquakes. To do this he had to find out how they are made then by making a system that nearly took him more than 2 years to make he finely had a** **scale that could measure the earthquakes that happened anywhere in the world!** media type="youtube" key="xExdEXOaA9A" height="385" width="480" align="right"


 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">There is no simple way to measure volcanoes. They are complex and cannot be measured in ways similar to earthquakes or other disasters. One way to measure size would be the volume of lava or ash that is coming out of the volcano but there is no quick way to do that. Geologists must visit the site of the eruption and measure the thickness and area covered which could take days or even months! **

<span style="background-color: #f51414; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 144%; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">Weekly reflection: <span style="background-color: #fffcf0; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; line-height: normal; text-align: center;"> What I have learned this week is how we measure things like earthquakes and tsunamis and what are the worlds most dangerous earthquakes, and the most recent natural disaster that have happened in the past year like the earthquake in China. **<span style="background-color: #ff0505; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 224%; text-align: center;">WEEK 5 =<span style="background-color: #e41111; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">The layers of the Earth? = =<span style="background-color: #f01414; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">The layers of the earth are: =
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: small; line-height: normal;">Tsunami are difficult to measure because many factors, such as shape of ocean floor, shape of coast, size and location of earthquake generating the tsunami, can effect their size and destructive potential. Often tsunami are measured after the event by looking at the damage. However, like earthquakes, a comparison of intensity can give an idea of the of exactly how big the damage is.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 144%;">** The Crust: ** **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #050505; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">The crust covers the mantle and is the Earths hard outer shellthe surface that we are standing on. compared to the other layers the crust is the thinnest it floats upon the softer denser mantle.The crust is made up of solid material but the material is not the same everywhere. there is an Oceanic crust and a Continental crust. The Oceanic crust is about 6-11km thick and is made from <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">rocks which are found on the bottom of the ocean and are about 200 million years old. The Continental is 30km thick and mainly consists of light weight material like rocks, when you look at a globe you see that the earth is made from 71% water and 29% land and when yo divide the land into 6 peices the become continents and they are Eurasia {Europe and Asia} Africa, North America, South America, Antartica and Australia.the continental crust's rocks are very old about 3.8 billion years old. When the crust moves that is what causes earthquakes and sometimes volcanoes. **


 * <span style="background-color: #f01919; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">The Mantle: <span style="background-color: #fffcf0; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;"> The mantle is the 2nd layer and is 10km below the Oceanic crust and about 30km below the Continental crust. the job of the mantle is to separate the inner mantle and the outer mantle. the mantle is about 2900km thick and makes up nearly 80% of the Earth's volume. **

**<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The Outer Core: <span style="background-color: #fffcf0; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The outer core is a liquid layer about 2260km and is made of iron and nickel. The outer core is 2890km beneath the Earths surface. The temperature of the outer core ranges from 4400 degrees to 6100 degrees. The outer core is not under enough pressure to be solid so it is liquid. Sulfur {something that is found in a matchstick} and oxygen could sometimes be found in the outer core. Without the outer core life on Earth would be very difficult because scientist think that the liquid in the core has an effect on the Earths magnetic fields. The magnetic field goes n for thousands of kilometres and creates a bubble around the Earth to deflect the suns solar wind. Without the bubble the solar wind from the sun would hit our atmosphere and make life on earth nearly impossible

<span style="background-color: #ff001b; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The Inner Core: ** <span style="background-color: #fffcf0; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">** The **** inner core **** of the Earth ****, is the hottest part of our Earth. It is about1,220 km thick and is made of mosty iron and nickel and may have a temperature similar to the Sun's Surface. ** <span style="background-color: #e81111; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">

<span style="background-color: #ff1a23; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">**What are the different atmospheric layers of the Earth?

They Are: {start from the bottom} 4. Thermosphere: The thermosphere is about 600km from the earths surface and is very dark. And also because it doesn't have hardly any oxygen it is impossible to go up that high. The thermosphere can also sometimes reach -1000 C 500km to 100km higher the atmosphere turns into space and then you can only go up that high with a space craft. 3. __Mesosphere:__ The mesosphere comes from the word mesos which mean middle. The mesosphere is about 85km from the Earths surface. As you get higher in the mesosphere the colder and darker it gets and when you get to the very top it is the coldest temperature in the Earth and is about -90 degrees. The mesosphere is very hard to study because it is very high hot air balloons and rocket don't go high enough, in the mesosphere different gasses are mixed together. 2. __Stratosphere:__ The stratosphere is the second major layer of the Earth atmosphere, The stratosphere also get's warmer the higher you go. Which is exactly different to the troposphere because as it goes down it gets warmer. The stratosphere is also 50km higher than the Earths surface. The stratosphere is a Greek word and means stratified, and sphaira meaning ball. 1. __Troposphere:__ is the layer that all weather happens and it is the weather we breath. Also 78% of the Troposphere is made out of Nitrogen and 21% of it is made out of Oxygen and the last 1% is made out of other gasses like carbon dioxide. What effect does the Sun and the Moon have on the Earth? The Earth: The Earth orbits the Sun and the Moon in the same way. Looking down from the North Pole the Earth spins in a counterclockwise direction on a imaginary line named axis once everyday. That is why the Sun rises in the east and sets in the north. The Moon also orbits around the earth in a counterclockwise way. Because of the way the Earth is tilted some places hardly get any sunlight and some have really short days. As the Earth revolves around the Sun the place where light shines the most changes. This motion gives us the different seasons. For instance when the north pole receives less light than the equator the land around the north pole receives the light. When the north pole is tilted towards the Sun the northern hemisphere gets warmer. When this happens the northern hemisphere gets summer while the southern hemisphere gets winter. The Moon is the Earth's only natural satellite. The Earths distance from the Moon is 384,403 km. The Moon also spins counterclockwise and that is why the same face is turned to the Earth. This type of motion is called Synchronous rotation. Over 30 years we would have seen 59% of the Moon's surface. The Moons effect on the Earth is that the Sun and it's self can change the speed of the Earth. Also the sun has something magnetic in it which attracts the moon and so it can't go around the earth in a perfect circle.

<span style="background-color: #f51414; color: #000000; display: block; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;">Weekly reflection: This week I learned a lot about tectonic plates and how they work and also the effects the Moon and the Sun have on the Earth not to mention how much I have learned about the layers of the atmosphere and how high things are. But he most important thing I have learned this week is that the earth won't last forever so we have to take care of it.

Week 7 ** What is in our solar system? <span style="background-color: #fffcf0; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">**What is in our solar system. That is a question many people ask. The solar system is made out of rocks stars planets, moons, holes, rocks, comets and lot's more.**


 * The planets are about 4.3 billion years old and are also a massive part of the solar system. the planets are {in order}:**


 * MERCURY: ** **Mercury is the innermost and smallest planet in the solar system and it orbits the sun once every 87 days. Mercury is very bright if you see it from the earth but when you see it from space it is very dark. even though mercury is the closest to the sun it is not the hottest planet.**


 * VENUS **: **Venus was named after the roman god of beauty and love. Even though Venus is the 2nd planet away from the sun it is the hottest, because Venus has clouds when the sun's light comes in the clouds don't let it go out so all the hot and steamy gas is still there. Venus spins around the sun more quickly than Earth because a day on Venus is 243 days on Earth but a year on Venus is 255 days on Earth! '

EARTH: The Earth. It is the planet we all respect and love. The Earth is the only planet known to have people living on it. The Earth has plenty of water to be exact the water takes up 3/4 of the Earth. When the Earth was created there was no life on earth because there was no oxygen because it was so hot but after a few 100 years the Earth got cooler and oceans were formed and of course oxygen. the first life on Earth appeared about 3 billion years ago.**

<span style="background-color: #f51414; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">**MARS:** <span style="background-color: #fffcf0; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;"> **Mars was named after the roman god of war because of it's red color. Mars has a lot of volcanoes and so does it's 2 tiny moons. The moons are Phobos{15km long} and Deimos{27km long}. Scientist say that Mars moon's are probably Asteroids{space rocks} that Mars captured with it's gravity.

Jupiter: Jupiter is the biggest planet known to the human's. It is very stripy and and has rings even though you can't see them. when you Compare earth to Jupiter earth looks like a tiny dot. 90% of Jupiter is gas that s why they call it the Gas Giant. Jupiter is so big that you could fit it in the big red spot which is a part of Jupiter where storms have been happening non-stop.

Saturn: Saturn is the 2nd biggest planet. Saturn has ring lot's of them but they don't have names. Scientist have called the rings A,B and C so they know which one they are talking about.

Uranus: Uranus is the 3rd biggest planet. It is 50,117 km in diameter. when Uranus was first found it was believed to be a star but then a 100 years later a scientist found out that it was not a star but a planet. Uranus is named after the Greek god of the sky.**


 * <span style="background-color: #f51414; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Neptune: <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> Neptune is the the smallest from our gas giants (Jupiter Saturn Uranus). When Neptune was first found in 1610 it was named a planet but a few years later it was called a star and that is when it went political but since no one agreed with him he decided to give it up. **

1. the planet must orbit the sun 2. the planet must have an circle shape 3. the planet must have had something that has hit it to be taken out. That is were Pluto fails and so it is not called a planet. It is now joining the 2 other planets called the Dwarf Planets. <span style="background-color: #f51414; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">
 * <span style="background-color: #f51414; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Pluto: When i say Pluto people say it is not a planet and some say that Pluto is a planet.Well it is not.I'll tell you why,to be a planet there is 3 things you have to follow:

Weekly Reflection:

<span style="background-color: #fffcf0; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 144%; text-align: center;">This week i learned a lot about planets and how they are formed. Also i learned a lot from the CSIRO excursion like where the volcanoes in the earth are and how the Pacific tectonic plate is about to break in half.

<span style="background-color: #f51414; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 172.8%; text-align: center;">WEEK 8: ** How do humans effect nature? **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"><span style="background-color: #f51414; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">This weeks question are:
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">They effect nature by not putting rubbish in the bin. When they can,not using public transport. Walking or riding to school and the most important of all,the energy that we waste.

Birds, mammals, fish, and other species depend on humans finding ways to reduce the size of their impact on the planet. Scientist say that just like the dinosaurs that got extinct 65,000,000 years ago something like that will happen to another animal. The loss of species would shock everyone and a lot of food will be lost. If species keep getting extinct at this rate we would not have enough plants and animals to prescribe medicine and 25% of of medicine in the USA is made out of our plants and animals. Animals like Frogs, fish, and birds have provide special services that helps our water to be more clean. <span style="background-color: #f50000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">How does the humans use of land effect the Earth? <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Global warming: What is Global warming. Well Global warming is when the Earth heats up. It happens when greenhouse gases trap heat and light from the sun and the heat will not go out to easily. This hurts many people animals and plants.

Global warming is affecting many parts of the world. Global warming makes the sea rise which means in a few decades some islands will be coverd with water. This is a big problem because if the island gets covered with water plants will die which make s animals die because they lost there source of food and then humans die because they have lost most of their food supplies. When fisherman fish most of them over fish and scientist are worried because someday soon we will lose all our fish. Oceans are effected, many things that are happening to the ocean are linked to Global warming. when you go to the ocean you see this green things floating on top of the water that is food for the fish and all the other animals and now we are running out of the food which means the fish will die so we will die. it is pollution that is affecting the earth and it is not just a few countries it is many. China and Japan are the worlds worst countries as they are killing most of our animals and using a lot of electricity. If Global warming gets worse AUSTRALIA will be the FIRST country to be effected.

people are doing a lot of things to stop Global warming like turning the of the television when they are not using it. Another thing anyone can do is using public transport when you can like busses and trains. Also be careful what you buy and try not to always buy plastic.

Weekly Reflection: This week i lerned alot about the enviroment like what is the green stuff on the water and how we can reduce the effect on greenhouse gases by using public transport and not using as much plastic <span style="background-color: #fffcf0; color: #f51414; display: block; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: #f51414; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;">Week 9: **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">**This weeks questions are:**
 * How are humans trying to reduce the effect on nature? **
 * Well humans are trying to do many different things to help the environment. Some countries are gathering together to try and think of ways to reduce greenhouse gas and carbon dioxide. One thing they are doing is trying to get people to use organic food and also when they can use scrap pieces of paper and recycled paper. Reducing waste is one of the most important things that are effecting Global warming and if we can do that the effect would be a lot less and that would mean less trees would be cut down. Palm oil, that is one thing that is killing Iguanas and some animal rights groups are rallying to make sure that Palm oil is labelled because on most foods when they have Palm oil in them and they name it as Vegetable oil.

Another thing that the government id trying to do is to make fresh water out of salt water by putting it in to a system fertiliser that means that we will no run out of water as quickly but then also the water will not taste as good, but then the water from the seas will run out someday. Recycling. If we recycle we have a very good chance of ighting Global warming. If we recycle that means the products that we do recycle can be made to other products which means that the less waste we will need and the less trees can be cut down. Plastic is also a big problem because some people put plastic bags in the ocean which our fish chock on, something people are trying to do is making stands were if people have lots of plastic and don't know what to do with it they bring it in and the organisation will take them for recycling.

A big Australian organisation group has made a wonderful achievement. They have organised that once every year everyone turn there lights off for an hour. This year there was not that much success because Melbourne and other cities didn't turn of there lights, so if we can have a better result next year the world will last longer.

So as you can see we can not stop Global warming we can only make it slow down and we can not stop Natural Disasters but there are thing that we can do to help them like provide aid for those in need sponsor a child and recycle. If you can not do those things think of ways that you can help slow down Global warming like use you cardboard to make art except of chucking it out. Also give to charity groups when possible.**
