Unexpected discovery about the earth's core.
Hello,Im cbgbyo65 and I will be talking about a current event that I call An unexpected discovery about the earth's core.Scientist's in seweden are saying that iron under extremly high pressure such as found in the inner earth take's unexpected propertie's, and this is important to understand the movement's in the earth "such as earthquake's".This happen's because the iron atom's in a piece of iron in room tempature are packed according to a certaint structure.In this case called body centered cubic or bcc.That means the atoms are relatively sparsely packed.When the iron is in greater pressure the atoms place them selve's differently in relation to each other and take another structure so called as the hexagonal close packed or hcp.That make's it more densely packed.so the higher the tempature and pressure the more stable the hexagonal close packed structure will be.In my opinion this could be wrong because they have also shown that iron unexpectedly revert's to bcc structure at extreme pressure's and tempature's.I found this information at brightsurf.com.

Burying the greenhouse gas
Hello, as you may know my name is cbgbyo65 and I will be talking about a current event about scientist trying to bury the greenhouse gas.Now some of the scientist ideas to solve global warming was to actually bury carbon dioxide.They are trying to see if they can capture the carbon dioxide from things like electric power plants and inject it into the ground.This may help prevent global warming,but now what is the effect in the ground?I've got this information from brightsurf.com.Now though this could help prevent global warming if I was a scientist I would first try other ideas,and test what effects the carbon dioxied would have in the ground before I start injecting carbon dioxide into the ground.

Producer, Consumers, and Decomposers
hello I'm cbgyo65 and The topic that I will be talking about today is going to be producers, consumers, and decomposer's.Three interesting things I learned about this topic is that producers only get eaten they don't eat at all well actually they are able to make their own food with out going out to find it. But consumers have to go out and find there food like to eat plants (producers).Then decomposer's brake down all the consumer's and producers that are now dead to create nutrients and bring back producers .Two other interesting facts that I learned from another source is that another word for producers is autotroph an another word for consumer is heterotroph. I got those pieces of information from http://www.uic.edu/classes/bios/bios101/ecosys/sld009.htm.In my opinion I would think it would be better to be a autotroph because you wouldn't have to hunt or kill anything you have an advantage.

Ecosystem Class Response
The class response that I am doing is about the ecosystem.I learned new interesting facts about a ecosytem like how it is living and nonliving interacting ,basically anywhere could be a eycosystem , and how the living organisms and non living organism's use each other to survive.I also learned more information like how organism's use each other to survive, like how the animal's in the desert use the sand and dig whole's and sleep in there were it is cooler at night. Also how cactus can soak up water and save it.I've got this last two piece's of information from http://www.brainpop.com/science/ecologyandbehavior/ecosystems/. My opinion on this subject is that for different place's there are "in a way" different ecosytem.Like the desert human's would not be able to survive in there for long they dont have or do half of the stuff that the animal's do to survive in the desert , they would only really be able to survive in their own ecosytem.

Drilling For Oil Assignment
The assignment we did in class was how to find were oil is and were to drill.Things I found interesting was that you need all three of these things to no were oil is,and that 70% of the time when they drill for oil the area is dry,also that even just because the oil smells different it would be sold for less money .Oil cost less because of the smell because it has to go through process to get the smell out so they sell it for less,I got this information from wikipedia.My opinion is that you cant always trust what the map says because of the 70% chance that you wont fined oil.

Class response of Arctic Tale
The response that I am doing is from the movie we watch not to long ago called the Arctic Tale. The movie was about how the animals in the arctics life could change horribly because of climate changes.Three interesting facts I learned was that just because of climate every animals way of survival,and how the walruses swam 200 miles for land and survival and the polar bear took a very big risk and swam 200 miles too, also I found it very interesting that the male polar bear let the female polar bear eat what the male polar bear caught especially if the male almost died trying to get the walruses.These climate changes are a real big threat to the 22,000 polar bears left. Polar bears are suffering from a loss if arctic sea ice.I got this information from newscientist.com.So in my opinion this why we should stop Global Warming.

highspeed Internet
From the notes I took I would think that Highspeed Internet is far the best advancement.I think this because you can do homework like what im doing now and you can research intead of reading tons of books.Also you can conmmunicate with some one across the the world in a split second.I think thats pretty cool this is why I think that Highspeed internet is far the best advancement.

Monster black holes
Monster black hole are giant gaps that can suck in anything the most ten of our suns the incredibly dense objects cram the mass of huge suns into tiny points in space.the gravity of the black hole is so intense that it sucks in every thing around it including light.I think this is cool because it could maybe stop craters from hitting the earth so there would be no harm.
