Earth+&+Space

Hi I'm Steve and I'm in 6th period Earth & Space. Assignment 5
 * 1) It starts with a nebula starts to form a interstellar cloud.
 * 2) Then a interstellar cloud started to form a solar system.
 * 3) The remains started to form planetesimals.
 * 4) The planetesimals starts to form a the planets.
 * 5) The planets closer to the star do not have any satellites.
 * 6) Then a terresrtrial planet forms and it has a satellite.
 * 7) Meteors and comets pummel the planets that are formed so far.
 * 8) Then the Kuiper Belt forms.
 * 9) The gas giants form and they also form satellites.
 * 10) There is an asteroid belt between the last inner planet and the first outer planet.
 * 11) The Ort cloud forms around the solar system.
 * 12) Meteoroids bombard the planets from time to time.
 * 13) Then comets that have a nucleous and coma go past the planets.



Assignment 4 Assignment 3 (examples include magnetism, fluorescence, smell, etc.) || It attracts metal, glows under black light, has distinct smell, etc. || You use magnetism, fluorescent lights, it's smell, etc. ||
 * Granites usually have a medium to coarse grained texture. Occasionally some individual crystals are larger than the ground mass in which case the texture is known as [|porphyritic]. A granitic rock with a porphyritic texture is sometimes known as a [|porphyry]. || [[image:http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a1/IndianGranite.jpg/800px-IndianGranite.jpg width="226" height="146" caption="File:IndianGranite.jpg" link="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a1/IndianGranite.jpg"]] ||

 * Mineral Property || Definition || Description: How is it used to ID unknown minerals? || Supporting Images ||
 * Luster || The way light interacts with the surface of a crystal, rock, or mineral. || If a mineral has a metallic luster, it reflects light much like polished metal. If a mineral does not have a metallic luster, it is said to be nonmetallic and can be described as glassy, waxy, pearly, brilliant, or dull. || [[image:luster1.gif width="237" height="420"]] ||
 * Streak || The color of the powder produced when it is dragged across an unweathered surface. || The mineral must be crushed to determine the color of its powder. The color of the powder is the color of the streak. || [[image:streak.jpg width="349" height="206"]] ||
 * Hardness || The various properties of [|matter] in the [|solid] [|phase] that give it high resistance to various kinds of shape change when [|force] is applied. || * **Scratch hardness**: Resistance to [|fracture] or plastic (permanent) [|deformation] due to friction from a sharp object
 * **Indentation hardness**: Resistance to plastic (permanent) [|deformation] due to a constant load from a sharp object
 * **Rebound hardness**: Height of the bounce of an object dropped on the material, related to [|elasticity]. These are the 3 ways to use hardness to id an unknown mineral. || [[image:DSC00105.jpg width="330" height="243"]] ||
 * Cleavage || The way a //mineral// may split apart along various planes. || Carefully break the mineral and observe the shapes and angles of the pieces. || [[image:sto5.jpg]] ||
 * Fracture || It is breakage that is not flat. || Carefully break the mineral and observe the shapes and angles of the pieces. || [[image:Conchoidal%20fracture.jpg width="447" height="401"]] ||
 * Specific Gravity || //Specific gravity// is the density of a substance divided by the density of water. || Put it into water and get it's density in water. Then get its normal density. Last divide them and you get the answer. || [[image:2_3_6en.jpg]] ||

Assignment 2 Uses: They represent the entire Earth in a rectangular frame. Popular for world maps. Looks like Mercator but is not useful for navigation. Shows poles as straight lines. Benefits: Great for navigation. Drawbacks: The size of landmasses near the poles are exaggerated. ||  ||  || Uses: Gnomic projections are used in seismic work because seismic waves tend to travel along great circles. Benefits: When projecting lines from a globe to a paper that touches the globe at one point. Drawbacks: It distorts the direction and distance. ||  ||  || Uses: Road and weather maps. Benefits: Provide great accuracy for a limited area. Drawbacks: The distortion increases away from standard parallels. ||  ||  ||

Biosphere and Hydrosphere. rain,pollution,sweating, and drinking. They both interact with each other. The biosphere gives the hydrosphere water. The hydrosphere gives the biosphere the water back through sweating and breathing. It's just a cycle going over and over.
