Which way the wind blows

question 1

•  the amount of sunlight falling on the surface per unit area a displacement from vertical for the sun the amount of light energy that get absorbed
• show the reflects almost all the light, sea water
•  the specific heat of the substance that the light is striking. 
•  Cloud cover.

this is what causes earths uneven heating. 
 

Question 2
the is and water is contently in motion from north to south and east and west and up and down the shore. this can cause local conditions such as winds and other conditions.
 
Coriolis effect: a mass moving in rotation


Hadley cell: large scale cell at which air rises


Most deserts are at 30 degrees because,Hot air from the equator rises, then cools, moisture is lost, and the dry air comes down at 30 degrees north and south

3rd question

long header island report

1: We had to move them away from other peoples home so that way the light would not interfere with them and there growth, we also moved them so people would not harm them

2: We made sure that the fishing pier was not near any of the research spots and not near the turtles but we made sure that they were located near the hotels and resort for easy assess for the people

3: We made the golf course big so that there were more fun for people but we slit are island in half and the one half that has the houses also has the golf course

4:  Are island does not have any cars there for we are Eco friendly and we have a lot of side walks in trails so people have easy assess to any were and we also have golf carts for people to drive around in.

5: They leave trash some times that we have to go and pick up, people do some stupid things because it is a small island, as well as the gas people try to sneak cars on the island

6: We grow are own food as well as get other grown food from local areas

7: Most groups had there lay out better but we all set up are Island in different ways.

Sand Reflection

1.One of the sands i worked with and notice there was a lot were the" sorting" sand. The sorting sand is the different ways that sand can be categorized! Such as small, big, round, rough all different types.


2. Another one that i noticed a lot was the "rounding" method. this because a lot of time its a sign of erosion and it indicated  that the rock has been there for a while and has travel great distances.


3. The "grain size" contains gravel, slit, and clay carry. this mostly contains sand minerals. They are normally categorized as course, medium, fine. some of these may contain filtered sand as well.


4. When i was looking at all the sand types i did not recognize any "surface features" .


5. I was able to identify more the half of the sand by "color/composition" this is when rocks or minerals are categorized as types of rock or grain.
 

6. Another way that i was able to identify some of the sand is by "texture" such as the way sand is shaped the way it looks the way it feels the color that it is there was many ways that the texture of the sand helped.

what did i learn (friday blog)

What I learned when I was creating my experimental design was that there are a lot of spacific things i will need a lot of toold and research items. I would need a puck to get all of my sea creatues in i would need a net to drag behind the boat to get the crabs and other sea animals. I will need the right mesuring cup in order to know how much water a sea creature needs in order to stay alive while i am doing my research. I will need tool to examin my sea creater.  my boat will also have to be two levels, one level to examine my sea creaters and the other to sit and record all of the information. That is the most imporent thimgs i will need for my experimenal design of my boat.

Living and working under the sea

I think that building an underwater research station is really hard, and it takes a lot of time and money. To have an underwater research station you would need the right tools to build it and bring it under the water, as well as enough weight to force it to stay down there! When i watch and read article on underwater research stations I began to think about the struggles of haveing to live under the water, such as how would you get the right things that you need to live under there such as food and other good. And i started to think about how would those things get down to you without being damaged and or ruiened. So in order to create one of these you would need to really think about the money as well as how you will get the things you need to survive down there.

  

  

sounding the sea, a study in bathymetric mapping

1. The ocean floor can be measured and mapped by using current acoustical technology by the sound of the ocean, sound travels through water in wave like form, to create different sounds. the tools that scientist use is to detect the sounds of the ocean floor.

2. A flat abyssal plain: an underwater on the deep ocean floor, usually found at the depths between 3000 and 6000 m. lying generally between the foot of a continental rise and mid ocean ridge, covers more then 50% of  earths surface
  

3. underwater seamount or guyot: a guyot is a isolated underwater volcanic mountain with a flat top over 200 meters bellow the surface of the ocean.
  

4. Continental shelf, break, slope and rise: is the extended perimeter of each continent and associated coastal plain.


5: Submarine canyon on the continental shelf: a steep sided valley cut into the sea floor of the continental slope sometimes it extends well onto the continental shelf. depths grader the 2km bellow sea level.


6. mid-ocean ridge: another term of underwater mountain system the consistences of various mountain range typically having a valley know as rifts running running along its spine, formed by plate tectonics.


7. trench and island arc system: often composed of changes of valcanions with arc shaped aliment situated parallel and close to the boundary between two covering tectonic plates.

8. some new research questions i have is how can you tell the type of sea floor a sea has just by the waves and motion of the ocean

9. the value of this is to have us learn the different ways that the ocean floor can be identified in easy ways and not physically having to go down there.

experimental design

My experimental design that I did yesterday had to do with a lot of tools, such as buckets, water, tool, observation objects. I will need to bucket to put the sea creature that I am observing in there, and in that bucket I will need to right amount of water and the type of water. And then once I have my sea creature that I am observing I will use specific science tool to observe the creature, and I will write down all the information I will need to know about the creature. But to use all of this I will need a big boat. And in the boat there will be two levels the lower deck were I catch all my creatures as well as a upper deck were I can observe the sea creature and be in my own environment. That is everything that I will need to be able to learn about different sea creatures that are in the ocean.
