Blog #7

So through this entire semester we have learned about many things that actually connect to our everyday living. We learned that the earth takes twenty four hours to rotate around, hence how we have day and night. It takes a full year for it to orbit around the earth, and the earth tilts toward and away from the sun and that is how we have longer days than nights on certain parts of the year and vice versa.
We also learned about the times of the year when we reach the peak (or equinox of a season). The circulation of wind is caused by different types of air pressure, and with wind, comes different weather patterns. I learned that violent storms are usually a Cold Front storm and calmer more gradually spread out storms are more of a warm front.
I learned that there are different climates of weathers and that the northern part of California is a Mediterranean biome.
The different layers of the earth are made from different things, from solid rock, to plastic, to liquid magma, to solid iron. The outermost layer of the earth is the crust and it is made of plates that move and is constantly, yet slowly changing the face of the earth, as countries and continents will forever be moving.
