2 What is the origin of the name?

The name of moon was comes from a Germanic word vid old English and is related to world like month.

3 Who discovered it? When?

The moon we can see in the night at sky, so we cannot say who discovered the Moon.

4 List 6 facts about the object

1. Before the human history, the dinosaurs hunting at night and they guided by the light of the Moon.

2. The Moon has no global magnetic field.

3. At Earth we always see t5he same side of the Moon and the other side is always hidden.

4. The Moon is not a planet, it is a satellite of the Earth.

5. We only can see 59% of the Moon’s surface in the Earth.

6. The Moon is about ¼ size of the Earth.

5 Diagram and Lable

The Moon move around of Earth it need 271/3 days and the shape is change at 271/3 days.

6 Interesting facts about Moon

1. The Moon looks the same size as the Sun.
2. The water on the Earth follow the Moon.
3. Only 12 people have stepped on the surface of the Moon.

Our World Project

OUR WORLD PROJECT
The Plate Tectonics is continental drift and Ocean spreading, there have three boundary type convergent transform and divergent. The mountain, trenches and volcanoes is cause by the convergent of the plate tectonics. The ridges and rift valley is cause by divergent of the plate tectonics. The earthquake is cause by transform of the plate tectonics.

The Earthquake is cause by transform of the earth, and it has 3 waves, P-WAVE, S-WAVE and the L-WAVE.and the 3 types normal, thrust and strike-slip. The earthquake will broke the building, let many people and animal die and people have no food to eat, and the Earthquake will affect Tsunami and Volcanoes.

The Volcanoes is form by convergent and it have 4 type of Volcanoes Shield volcanoes, Composite volcanoes, cinder cone volcanoes and hot spot. Shield volcanoes are the largest volcanoes on Earth, and it have the high temperature. The composite volcanoes is form by hardened lava, volcanic ash, this is the most common types of volcanoes. The cinder cone volcano is the most common type of volcanoes and it will be ten to hundreds high. The hot spot volcano is the magma inside of the earth.

The Earth have 4 main part CURST, MANTLE, OUTER CORE, and INNER CORE. The curst is the land we where live, and it has continental crust (land) and oceanic crust (ocean), many Natural disasters is cause by the movement of the mantle. The mantle is form by the rock, and the outer core and inner core is the much hot part of the Earth. the inner core is about 4400-5000℃, and the inner core is more than 5000℃ and the inner core is very important it make the magnetic field.

The Earth is Complex and Magical, it breed many live, it also can broken anything. And it bring many nature resources to us, so we need care about the earth and care about the environment that we live.


This project my enjoy most is the poster, because I like drawing and I think that is very interesting and the easy one of the whole project.
The most challenging for me during this project is to draw the mountain, Earthquake, Volcano, hot spot and Valley etc. On the map, I think that's hard to draw on the map.
I think I could improve is the mini post I can print picture and I don't need draw by the hand.
One thing I would change about this project is to find more information at home.

Required Graphics

                         REQUIRED GRAPHICS

Map(s) - Where can it happen? Find an area in the world where this type of natural disaster is common and find data showing that it is a problem. Data can be temperature, ocean temperatures, rainfall, map location, etc…

Map Types:



Sources "Drought - Limpopo River Awareness Kit." Drought - Limpopo River Awareness Kit. N.p., n.d. Web. 09 Jan. 2013.


Graph – Create an original graph (hand-drawn or on Excel) showing the changes of a specific area (city, country or region) over time (10-100 years), this data should support or refute your theory.


What will this tell you about the natural disaster?

• This data tell us the South Africa had the low rainfall of between 1970-2006, because the data show the rainfall is negative.

  Type of Graph(s):    

Sources: "SCIELO - Scientific Electronic Library Online." SciELO - Scientific Electronic Library Online. N.p., n.d. Web. 02 Jan. 2013

 
Evidence - You will need to find at least 2 pieces of Supporting Data, and a minimum of 1 graphic evidence.

1. Supporting Data:

• This data is supports my theory,because it show that the Africa is very dry, the rainfall most are -4 in Africa.

Sources:"The Water Cycle : Feature Articles." The Water Cycle : Feature Articles. N.p., n.d. Web. 09 Jan. 2013.


2. Supporting Data:

This is supports my theory, because the data show the red area with High temperature , so there have low rainfall and it is  very dry.

Sources: "FESA Micro-insurance: Satellite Indices Break-through." Welcome to FarmD. N.p., n.d. Web. 10 Jan. 2013.


3. Graphic Data:

• This graph support my theory, The Sahel is location in Africa , between Africa south of the Sahara and central Sudan in Grasslands. This graph show us 1970 to 2010 the rainfall of the Sahel most are negative.

EVIDENCE RESEARCH DATA                   TOPIC

Drought

You are trying to see if this type of disaster is more common now than in years past and what could be happening. You will need to find data from the past to compare to data from today to see if there are changes. All work must be done in your OWN words. Be sure to update your Reference page regularly.



Research Steps:

1. Location: Find out where this natural disaster happens most (1-2 similar locations).

Location(s):

• South Africa

Why does it happen more in these locations?

• Because the South Africa is around Sahara desert so there is drought and people cut too much trees and burned plant and crop too much on the land,  let the land become desert that  increased drought.  

Sources: "South Africa." Wikipedia. Wikimedia Foundation, 01 Mar. 2013. Web. 03 Jan. 2013.


2 Data: Find out what kind of data determines the problem (temperature, rainfall, plate boundaries, etc..).

Type of Data:

 

What will this tell you about the natural disaster?

• This data tell us the South Africa had the low rainfall of between 1970-2006, because the data show the rainfall is negative.

   2 Historical Data: Look for this type of historical data (temperature, rainfall, number of occurrences, etc…).

Website Names:

• "SCIELO - Scientific Electronic Library Online." SciELO - Scientific Electronic Library Online. N.p., n.d. Web. 02 Jan. 2013

    3.Data Analysis: Analyze the data and look for trends.  

What does the data tell us?

• The South Africa is very drought, the rainfall of South Africa is negative.

          Are there more natural disasters of this type than usual? Is it the same?

• Yes, the South Africa is very drought, so that’s very to affect the Forest Fire.

What could be causing this?  

• The Forest is causing by drought, and humans, high temperature.

Date of the Forest fire happened on South Africa.
