global wind patterns

1. The earth's uneven heating is caused by its distance from the equator and earth rotation. 2. Earth's rotation helps the air move across the planet. The winds are also different depending on location. 3. Global winds are different across the planet. It depend on the location. In different areas of the earth, due to the rotaion, the wind pattern. Imagine picture here 4. Wind patterns might migrate out of their usual location

ocean county

1. We put the nesting as far away as possible from humans 2. We made sure it was far enough from the sea turtle nesting sites. 3. Golf balls might hit the sea turtles. 4. It would help the economy while protecting the enciorment. 5. Destroying the local ecosystem. 6. It will protect the island from erosion. 7. No

sand reflection

Around the world the conposition, the color and even magnetics of the sand are different. The sands I assembled were from the tropics, volvanic island, New England and other areas. In Maui the sand is black dur to the volcanic ash on the island. Howeve, hampton beach sand is full of organism die to the area. The reason is because the Gulf stream brings warm water animals to the area and the Labrador current also affects the area. The grain size is about the same on each beach. Hampton beach howver is more round than maui.

surrounding the sea

1. How can ocean floor be measured and mapped using current acoustical technology? How can ocean floor maps be used in the commercial, military, and/or private sector. 
They can use Sonar technology.

2.

3.  In order to map the oceans, use sonar technology.
4.  Why do ocean arc form.  Why did the Hawaiian islands form.
5.   It will help us in Science while learning about the ocean in the long term. 

dance of the continents

I learned that plates with similar land boundaries may have once been connected due to similar rock and landforms. This theory of Continental drift was first proposed in 1913 by Alfred Wegner who came up with a theory that the continents were once connected as a super continent known as Pangaea. It was not taken seriously due to lack of knowledge of the ocean floor and the fact he was a meteorologist. However, as technology expanded throughout the 20th century, they learned more about the ocean. In 1960, Hess applied Wegners theory and updated it to recent discoveries to form the theory of Seafloor spreading. They also discovered that the continents move due to sea floor expansion which is caused by magma rising to the surface. This proved that the earth is divided into 6 separate plates. It was later expanded to smaller plates.

ocean trip

In the field trip yesterday, I learned that there are many different types of sea life and plankton become fish. I also leaned that Fish were once a lot bigger here. Cod was especially bigger but declied in size as they were overfished. I learned more about beaches.
