Peanut butter wiki time =]

Recentley in school we have been working on wiki's and our topics were on the earth and events that happen and stuff like that. The wiki allows you to write information down on a website for people to veiw. Not only that, you and your friend can work on the same one at once so you dont have to go over each others houses. There were many types of topics such as horsts, grabens, seismographs, hanging walls and foot walls. Something interesting is that everyone had something diffrent. I just went on our wiki site and found out some information. I found out that a horst is the uppermost part of a fault. Another thing i found out was that a Tsunami is an earthquake that happens under water and creates a horrible overflowtion. To find more about the earth and its interesting aspects join me at:

His tomb or no tomb?

ON may 8th, 2007, an israeli archaeologist admits that he found king herod's tomb. This so called tomb was found near the west bank town of Hebron. This man has been studing this since the 1970's and now, he acually found something. The archaeologist said that his team found a peice of lime stone that belonged to an acient king. But, there were no bones in the container. Since he had found this peice of evedince, it motivated him to work harder, so now he has found the so called tomb of king Herods. Even tho i do not like acient items, this still seems pretty cool because its big and it looks pretty amazing.

Were all gunna die..some day!

On April 25th 2007 a new study acured. In the state of Washington, the start of the sun spot cycle will come soon. It is suppost to acure in between 2011-2012. The governments space enviroment space center in boulder, had half of the scientist expect that there will be a strong cycle of 140 sunspots in 2011 in the mounth of august. An average cycle ranges from 75-155 spots. Since 140 is at the top of the peek for amounts, this means that in the sky there will be many problems in airline activeties and electrical transmissions. My take on this is that i think its a little scary. In this case ill be sure not to fly in a plane in the year 2011.To learn more about this go to this leading web site:

~ Sand waves ~

Last week in class we did a lab called sand waves. I thought that this lab was awesome and super fun =). Some things i learned while doing this experiment was that the highest point of the wave is called the crest. Not only that, the bottom part is called the trough. But the most interesting thing i found out was that frequency is the number of times that a function repeats the same sequence of events in a unit of time. Did you know that the distance between the crest and the trough is the wave height? But, the distance between crest and crest is wave length. I thought that this lab was cool. The reason it was so cool was because i got to earn all these new facts while having fun!

Let the fat toad sing!

On march 27th, a environmental group discovered a huge toad down in Australia. Scientist say that it is one of the largest toads ever discovered in Australia. The toad was nearly two pounds and is compared to a football and a small dog. These toads are very toxic and are harmful to the other animals around this amphibian. This type of toad is a called a cane toad. The toad is 15 inches long, pretty monstrous right? I thought that this toad sounded amazing. Just comparing a toad to my puppy made me giggle a bit. I think that finding a awesome amphibian like the cane toad was a amazing discovery. That is what i thought of this cool toad =).

Rhinos!!

On February 20, 2007, a Sumatran rhino arrived in Indonesia. It was transferred from the United States to Indonesia so that it could live in the right habitat. This has been the first time in over 100 years this type of rhino has been here, they were endangered. However, now that it is here, it's job is to reproduce to bring this type of rhino back in action instead of becoming extinct.

I actually believe that this is going to be a great thing because we don't want animal groups to die out. I am so glad that he is now in the right place and that he will live a long time.Being that there are only a few is a big problem, but now this one rhino is the miracle to all our rhino problems.

Swinging by Mars =)

On February 22, 2007, the german's were notifyed that the probe was indeed lined up with mars for a nice up close and personal veiw. In space, the probe named Rosetta is suppost to land on a comet and study it. The probe is in the hands of Europe however, it was launched in Germany. I think that this is a very cool discovery because the prob has to land on the comet while it is going pretty fast.

I would love to know the out come because i want to find out more in what they are trying to discover. I also think that this mission is very intense because what would happen if the probe were to not land right and hit the side of the comet and then explode or break some how, but in the end i hope it does its job well =).
