Easy-Breezy # 6!=)

1. What was your favorite Geology topic this year? Why?
My favorite geology topic was looking at the foliated and non-foliated rocks because usually when you just see any rock laying around you think nothing of it, but now I can think of the ways it may be classified.



2. What was your favorite Meteorology topic this year? Why?
My favorite topic about Meterology is when we discussed the different types of clouds. I liked that we actually got to take a "field-trip" outside and notice the clouds that we may pass by everyday.


3. What was your favorite Astronomy topic this year? Why? (Include a picture for #1, #2, OR #3)
My favorite topic for Astronomy was doing the Ultimate Fate of the Universe because I never knew about the various ways that the whole entire universe may one day just blow up, be crushed or expand over a given amout of time.
4. What grade do you think you earned on the Final Exam? What did you do to prepare? Is there anything that you wish you had done differently?
I can honestly say that I did try my hardest for the final exam. I think that I deserve at least an eighty. I studied my notes, completed the crossword puzzles, and studied the pre-quiz we took on Quizstar to help prepare myself for the exam. I wish I would have stuided a little harder.

# 4 ! Matthew Sucks !

1. What made the Big Bang "bang?" In other words, why didn't the universe just stay in a tiny little sphere the size of a golfball? More details = more points.

The big bang theory states that at one time the universe was confined to a dense, hot, superrnassive ball. Then, 13.7 billion years ago, a violent explosion occured making all these materials go into all directions. The universe continues to expand, evolve and cool from the explosion.
2. What do you think would happen if you went into a black hole? Scientists only know what happens until you get to the event horizon. Anything beyond that is really just an educated guess. More details = more points.
I think that as soon as you pass the event horizon in a black hole you will quickly be sucked in by gravity and your body would explode into millions of pieces instantly. There would be no chance of escape since the gravity is so strong and there is no light.
3. Tell me what you think about worm holes? When you pass through one, where do you go? WHEN do you go? More details = more points.
I think that it would be impossible for you to go into the past, but you could go deep into the future. I think that you would  instantly be pulled into the future probably hundreds of years away. You would be able to see how the how time changes and possibly how generations repeat and grow in various ways.
