National Geographic tectonic plates - 9 views

  •  
    This is an article about the tectonic plates that make up the crust of our planet.
  • ...29 more comments...
  •  
    I found this article, informative about the tectonic plates.
  •  
    Very informative I did not know that much about tectonic plates, great find.
  •  
    Some of the major tectonic plates are the North American, African, and Antarctic plates. There are only a few major tectonic plates. There are three different boundaries that are formed when the plates move.
  •  
    Very informative and interesting. I now know a lot more about tectonic plates.
  •  
    This is really interesting to know. I like how it explaines and shows were tectonic plates are
  •  
    Gives some good information on how tectonic plates change the world's surface.
  •  
    I never knew that the plates that form the earth's surface is called the lithosphere. That's cool.
  •  
    It's very informative and tells how the tectonic plates affect the Earth's surface.
  •  
    Gives a lot of good info and very interesting.
  •  
    It is cool how Mount Everest could be taller tomorrow than today. Good information
  •  
    This article explains how the earth is effected by the tectonic plates.
  •  
    Very good information Sam. It is very interesting that Mount Everest gets a tiny bit taller every day. The tectonic plates changes the world surface.
  •  
    This website explains the tectonicplates very well and gives you a better understanding of the earth.
  •  
    That is very informative! It explains the earth in a better and more interesting way. I learned a lot more about the earth along with some very interesting facts.
  •  
    This is very informative. The tectonic plates are moving right under our feet! This website tells you how mountains are formed and how the earth moves.
  •  
    This is very cool information and there are 6 major plates named for each of the continents they are under
  •  
    The information about the tectonic plates was informative and helped me understand how the 6 plates of the world can create earthquakes and mountains.
  •  
    The information is cool because I learned there are 6 major plates named for each continent.
  •  
    This is about the tectonic plates that shaped our planet. P.S. i like how it is not Wikipedia.
  •  
    This is a very informative and descriptive website good job!
  •  
    This is a really cool website. It explains how tectonic plates move and change in detail.
  •  
    This is interesting. It's cool that these plates move around so much. Will the earth become Pangea again one day?
  •  
    I really liked this website! I cannot believe that there are also smaller tectonic plates, other than the big ones. I never knew that.
  •  
    The Juan de facu plate is responsible for the volcanoes in the northwest pacific of the United States
  •  
    I discovered that the plates make up the Earth's outer shell which is called the lithosphere.
  •  
    Its cool that the 6 major plates are named after 6 continents.
  •  
    This is a very good article about plate tectonics. It is a good recourse, and reflects the video we watched in class.
  •  
    Most geologic activity occurs at the edge of the plates.
  •  
    This is a detailed article about tectonic plates. I recommend this website because it relates directly to what we were talking about in class.
  •  
    This was a very informative website about tectonic plates. It talked about where plates are found and boundaries made by these plates.
  •  
    This was a very good article about the movements of tectonic plates. One of the most interesting facts that I had learned from reading the article was that the tectonic plates make up earths outer shell called the lithosphere. There were also many different things that I didn't know about such as that if the plates keep diverging in the Great Rift Valley in Africa, millions of years from now, eastern Africa will split apart from the continent creating a new continent. the three different types of Tectonic Boundaries are called convergent, divergent, and transform.

  •  
    The map is really helpful cause it shows where what igneous rocks are. It's a website that will help our research about this unit.
  •  
    This is very helpful and a great website
  •  
    This is about the types of igneous rocks and how they are formed. Good website!
  •  
    I did not know that igneous comes from a Greek word meaning fire! I also did not know that there are over 700 types of igneous rocks. Very helpful, thank you Jolie
  •  
    This was really helpful!! Ignis=fire, that is a new rule to remember things!
  •  
    This a very helpful website. It tells you about the meaning of the word, the difference between intrusive and extrusive rocks, and tells you how igneous rocks are formed.
  •  
    There are three types of rock types and igneous rock is one of them. There are intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks. Most of igneous rocks are formed under Earth's crust.
  •  
    Good information on Denver's geology and the same pictures as in the accident Denver books
  •  
    This has great information about igneous rocks, which is one of the three types of rocks. It gives great information about extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks.
  •  
    This tells you a lot about igneous rocks and the other two types of rock.
  •  
    This website is very informational and explains igneous rocks very well.
  •  
    I really like that map it is very interesting.
  •  
    This is more informative about igneous rocks than articles just about extrusive rocks
  •  
    Hypabyssal rock form under the surface
  •  
    This website is very useful and helpful to learn more about igneous and extrusive rocks.
  •  
    Is the glass in ash obsidian.
  •  
    The map helped me a lot!!!
  •  
    The map was really useful and I didn't know that igneous came from a Latin word meaning fire.
  •  
    This was very helpful. It was very informative about how the igneous rocks formed.
  •  
    Igneous and metamorphic rocks make up 90-95% of the top 16 km of the Earth's crust by volume
  •  
    I learned that hypabyssal rock forms under the surface of the Earth's crust.
  •  
    Igneous rock is one of the 3 main rock types and Ignis means fire in Latin.

  •  
    A lot of information about record highs and emissions in the atmosphere.
  • ...5 more comments...
  •  
    This is a news paper article about global warming and climate change.
  •  
    This website tells about the process of climate change, but it also tells about global warming. This is a good website to find facts about climate change and global warming. This website also tells about why 2012 was the hottest year in U.S. history. The map on the bottom of the page is very detailed. It shows a very detailed map about climate change and the global warming.
  •  
    This article includes many statistics about climate change all over the world, such as, global emissions jumped 3 percent in 2011 and are expected to jump another 2.6 percent in 2012. It also explains why 2012 was the hottest year ever recorded in US history. At the bottom of the page, there is a picture that you can click on that takes you too a map of heat across the US.
  •  
    The world reached a record high amount of carbon admissions in 2011 sending the amount of carbon in the air up 3 percent, and they are expected to rise another 2.5 percent by 2012, reports are showing that in the most advanced countries admissions amounts are gradually decreasing due to there efforts to reduce carbon admissions. Admissions continue to grow so rapidly that the world has set a goal of keeping the rise under 3.6. For many decades scientists have said they will do something but never have.
  •  
    This website has basic facets about climate change. I think it's very interesting it goes into how 2012 was one of the hottest years and why. It also talks about the controversy of global warming and shows arguments for both sides. Check it out!
  •  
    Gives good information on what sort of heat increases gain throughout the years.
  •  
    This website gives the statistical facts about global warming, such as carbon dioxide facts and all time highs. This article is highly fact based, explaining statistics as well. It also speaks of the U.S. and its increased temperatures in 2011.

  • ...10 more comments...
  •  
    This website offers a wide variety of information on the issue of climate change in the US. It gives info on how it effects our environment, how one tests the climate, and more. It has a map which has facts on the state of our climate in our area. All in all, it is a great site for information.
  •  
    I really liked the map, it was very helpful and I was able to learn about climate change in the Great Plains, Midwest, northwest, southwest, southeast, and mid west. The information was helpful and cool to find out how to test it.
  •  
    This site shows the climate change
  •  
    This website is organized and is great for all levels of people who want to learn about climate change.
  •  
    This site gives you basic information about climate change and what we can do about it. It teaches you about why the climate is changing and the issues that are causing it to change. It also has a map where you can click on a section and it will tell you about the climate there and things that affect their climate.
  •  
    This is a site about why climate change is happening, what to do about it, and the impacts based on region in the U.S.. This site is informational to people who don't know much about climate change.
  •  
    This site is a detailed version about global warming it also shows the effects on many things such as water resources, impacts on agriculture the vulnerability of humans to UV rays, and impacts on ecosystems.
  •  
    This website shows how climate change is changing the earth and what we could do to stop climate change from happening.
  •  
    This describes the rapidly increasing climate on Earth. Most of this is basic facts that are very interesting.

    This is a very helpful website because it gives all the information you'll ever need like regional impacts on climate change, what the causes are, and how to help slow it down.
  •  
    This is about the climate change that has happened in the USA I the pasted years. This is a government website and it is amazing.
  •  
    I thnk this website is really good because of the regional map. When you click on an area it shows you how much global warming has really affected it in the past years. If enough peopl in the world look at it ( randomly ), it could help us cut back on harmful products.

Stromatolites - 5 views

  •  
    This is a really informative website about stromatolites. I learned a lot about stromatolites in this article.
  • ...14 more comments...
  •  
    This helped me understand stromatolites Better!!!!!
  •  
    It was a great website with everything about stromatolites from modern fresh water stromatolites to how they were in the Precambrian times.
  •  
    This website talks about stromatolites. It gives you a definition, about their fossils, where they use to be located and where they are located now both below and above water.
  •  
    I thought this website as very good at explaining stromatolites and was super useful. Wikipedia is a very good recourse.
  •  
    This site has great facts on stromatolites which are good to know. I learned things about stromatolites I didn't know before.
  •  
    I thought this website was good in explaining stromatolites by using good pictures and vocabulary.
  •  
    This website taught me a lot about stromatolites that I didn't know. I also thought it was cool how it taught you about how they were in ancient times and modern times.
  •  
    This website shows how stromatolites form and it goes into depth about it. They generalize all facts about stromatolites and what they are. They can go into detail but Wikipedia can be unreliable because I found several grammatical and spelling errors
  •  
    This was interesting because I did not know that stromatolites were one of the oldest forms of life.
  •  
    Why are the layers curved?
  •  
    Wow! Stromatolites are the oldest form of life on earth. They generalized lots of facts into a very informative page.
  •  
    Stramatolites are the oldest fossils known. They are everywhere
  •  
    There are remains that go all the way back to 3.5 billion years ago!!!! That's amazing! They are also the oldest fossils known.
  •  
    This websit was very helpful. It is reinvent to what we are learning in class and has a lot of useful facts. I goes into detail with many subjects.
  •  
    Stromatolites are the oldest form of life and are composed of many different types of bacteria hardened together. This website was pretty accurate and related to the Lykins era in Denver history.
  •  
    I really did not know that 96% of marine life died. Also 70% of terrestrial vertebrate species were extinct.

    Talks about how Denver is like an onion and the stuff we talked about during class.
  •  
    Applies Denver onion idea to sandstone below Boulder
  •  
    This is a very good website about what we talked about in class like about Denver being an onion.
  •  
    Gives good info in a very simple way.
  •  
    Wherever rocks of earths crust are visible, geology can be interpreted. This gives good examples and lots of details.
  •  
    A good website to review everything we learned in class about Denver's geology.
  •  
    This is really relevant to what we're learning! Only this is boulder... And we're studying Denver but its basically the same so this is really helpful and not so hard to understand!
  •  
    This site went over Boulder geology in a very advanced and long way. I learned about all the geological periods and the effects they had on life in Boulder. I was not aware that there was a period known as the Pennsylvania Period.
  •  
    I had no idea what the Pennsylvania period was until now. This is a really helpful site, but a little complex.
  •  
    This tells you about boulder geology in a complexed way.
  •  
    Tells about the geology in boulder.
  •  
    I discovered when reading this that the earliest rocks in Boulder County are 1.7-1.8 billion years old.
  •  
    Its a good site that goes through a lot of different rock layers.
  •  
    The oldest rocks in Colorado are 1.7-1.8 billion years old.

    I thought the video was very helpful for what we are learning. It was short and sweet. I liked it alot.
  •  
    This video explains an alternate theory to the Pangea theory. This website was very interesting because it showed how the continents might have came together.
  •  
    it is a good video and gives good imformation about the tectonic plates
  •  
    It was a very informative video because it showed the structure of the continents when they where considered a large Pangea.
  •  
    This video is very helpful and shows the continents when they were Pangea
  •  
    This video is very helpful and informative
  •  
    This video was very informative
  •  
    Really long, but informative. If your up for learning about tectonics plates etc. , than go to his @youtube!
  •  
    This video is someones own opinion about how the earth got bigger.
  •  
    This is very informative and tells a lot. These tectonic plates are moving right under our feet.
  •  
    This website describes the Pangea theory. And the how the tectonic plates are moving.
  •  
    This video was really useful about the Pangea theory. It showed how tectonic plates move and form earthquakes.
  •  
    I liked this video because it shows how tectonic plates move and form earthquakes.
  •  
    This video showed the Pangea theory and how the tectonic plates formed it.

    A website about dinosaurs and there everyday lifestyle.
  • ...2 more comments...
  •  
    There was a much larger variety of dinosaurs than I thought.
  •  
    It adds the different types of the dinosaurs. Like marine and land and stuff
  •  
    This website had a wide variety of dinosaurs. It talked about the dinosaurs habitat and there lifestyle.
  •  
    This is a really good website because it was talking about alls of the different dinosaurs that lived in the cretacious period. in this, we also more about the sauropods, which contributed to a great amount of chatter in class disscusion. Basically what we learnd here was that sauropods had gone extinct, but their relitive, which are lightly armored, roamed all of the continents on the now changing Pangea. We learned about Avian life, plant life, and Marine life, which at the time includedearly versions of fish and sharks, which contributed a lot since all of the marine life dinosaurs before had gone extinct.

Apatosaurus-Wikipedia - 0 views

  •  
    This is a Wikipedia article about a type of sauropod called apatosaurus. (Website seen in 7-1 class...)
  • ...6 more comments...
  •  
    It is a pretty good website, well it is Wikipedia, but it explained thoroughly what a Apatosaurus was.
  •  
    This is a great website(of course it is because its Wikipedia) but it has the perfect info about the apatosaurus
  •  
    When we looked at the website we didn't really explore it much so it was nice to see everything on it.
  •  
    This has really good information on the apatosaurus. It tells you everything you would need to know about this dinosaur.
  •  
    This has very good information but I had a lot of trouble understanding it! It has a lot of fancy science words that I don't know. This could be used to learn some more science vocabulary.
  •  
    Apatosaurus, is a genus of sauropod dinosaur that lived from about 154 to 150 million years ago, during It was one of the largest land animals known to have ever existed, with an average length of 23 m and a mass of at least 16 metric tons.
  •  
    Wikipedia had a variety of facts which will help us in class. The information was fascinating but the website did include some details about the animal that weren't necessary.
  •  
    The brontosaurus lived from about 154-150 million years ago.

    This is a website about stromatolites.
  • ...11 more comments...
  •  
    Stromatolites are the Earth's oldest fossils. Some stromatolites are from 3.5 MYA. Stromatolites are all over the world.
  •  
    This was really cool because the pictures really made you think.
  •  
    They old things are really cool.
  •  
    The pictures were very interesting and stromatolites are the oldest fossils. They are about 3 million years old
  •  
    I can't believe the world may have depended on stromatolites.
  •  
    I did not know that they are the oldest fossils on Earth. If scientists disagree about the definition, then is there more information to be found about these fossil?
  •  
    I did not know that stromatolites were the oldest fossil on earth. And some scientists think that they were formed from green and blue algae but that is just one theory. This is a helpful interesting website that will help with our geology unit.
  •  
    This site taught me that the stromatolites are a rather unknown species that's formation is not too well known.
  •  
    i thoght it was very interesting that the plates are always moving but it takes us millions of years to see progress.
  •  
    This is a really good website about stromatolites and retakes to what we are learning.
  •  
    Great find Christine. this really relates to what we have been learning in science class. Some of the facts that i had learned while reading the sections, even though I had not read all of them because, I was pressed on time, that stromatolites are considered one of the earths oldest fossils besides phylogenetic determination of conserved nucleic acid sequences. Stromatolites are basically considered portals to the knowledge of earths past life, into the deep time of the earths existence, the evolution of different species that are thriving in the modern times. I didn't know that scientist often disagreed on how to classify stromatolites. Some believe that it is a laminated rock that is formed by the growth of blue or green algae.
  •  
    This is a good website on stromatolites and the history behind them.
  •  
    This is a great website on stromatolites and its what we learned. Great job!

Apatosauruses - 1 views

    Good Dino site
  • ...4 more comments...
  •  
    Brontosaurus was one of the largest land animals that ever existed. The dinosaur Brontosaurus is now called Apatosaurus. This enormous plant-eater measured about 70-90 feet long!!!! and about 15 feet tall at the hips.
  •  
    This site tells about the brontosaurus which is now called apatosaurus. This dinosaur has a very small intelligence. This was a good website.
  •  
    I never knew that some of those dinosaurs existed back then from the chart at the very bottom of the page.
  •  
    This site helps to make easier to understand what some of the dinosaurs that existed back then are called
  •  
    Evan, this was a very good site to learn about brontosaurus or apatosaurus. Apatosaurus have a small head which concludes that they have a small brain, and aren't the most intelligent species that had lived during their time. They had a long tail which acted as a counterbalanced to its very long neck. It also was a tool of protection from other predatorsYet the extremely long neck had advantages for a herbavore who would be constantly attacked by hungry predators. The apatosaurus was a very tall sauropod, which was taller than the allosaurus, which was a predator of the time. The allosaurus is not tall enough to try and snap at the head of the dinosaur, and it wouldn't be smart to get near a whip like like tail such as the apatosaurus's. It had a bulky body and ate rocks to help the digestion of its food.An interesting fact that i had learned was that their nostrils were located on the top of their head, but it couldn't be used as a snorkeling device because the apatosaurus lived on land and not near many big masses of water. I had peg like teeth, which resembling ones of a lizard today, and had four legs.
  •  
    This website was very useful in talking about the apatosaurus. The apatosaurus was a plant eater (herbivore). This dinosaur had a small head and walked on four legs. The apatosaurus was one of the biggest land animals.

    Great website about pterosaurs
  • ...1 more comment...
  •  
    This is a good website! I learned that the pterosaurs' size ranged to the size of a sparrow to the size of an airplane. Their ability to fly probably allowed them to evolve into many nitches.
  •  
    Cool website about pterosaurs
  •  
    This is a educational website about pterosaurs. I found it by looking about a cool picture on the different head types of the pterosaurs. It is amazing how many different head types there actually are for a pterosaurs. I would suggest looking here for any useful information that you would like to know about pterosaurs.

Millipede - 9 views

  •  
    This article was very informative about the giant millepedes, but not anything else.
  •  
    The thing about the Latin roots was very interessting
  •  
    There's actually more to a millipede than the eye can see.
  •  
    Kinda creepy but still very interesting
  •  
    I wonder if the legs grow back after they fall off???.?
  •  
    Oh Wikipedia, lots of information most of it off topic, but still a good website.
  •  
    This is a good website to use for the biology of the millipede and there's info about its history too.
  •  
    Apparently, millipedes have two pairs of legs per segment

    Website for crater rock
  • ...12 more comments...
  •  
    This is a cool website, but it is not really going to help with our ancient Denver's unit, it has many rocks and is very cool.
  •  
    The museum has a really good supply of well cared for artifacts. They have a lot of ancient and modern artifacts.
  •  
    This rock museum website displays many rocks ,minerals, artifacts, and fossils.
  •  
    The website is full of ancient rocks and artifacts, but I don't think it will help us on Ancient Denver's since crater rock is in Oregon not Denver.
  •  
    This was a good site to look at different rocks, but not really informative.
  •  
    This museum has cool artifacts but it doesn't relate to our Ancient Denver's
  •  
    The rocks were very cool and interesting. But this is useless for what we are learning.
  •  
    Has a lot of exhibits about rocks. However it is very off topic with stuff about Indian artifacts. It is also in Oregon so it is not that useful
  •  
    This is a good site if you want to see exhibitions and rocks, but it won't really help us in science and it doesn't really have to do with the geology of Denver.
  •  
    It was a cool website to look at all the different rocks, but it isn't that informative and its not really going to help on this unit, plus it's in Oregon.
  •  
    This has nothing to do with what we are learning because its in Oregon. It's really cool to look at the different types of rocks but its not useful to this unit
  •  
    This website won't help much, it didn't say much about the rock anyways. It told more about the meuseum. Also, it doesn't really have to do with Ancient Denver at all.
  •  
    This isn't very helpful... More touristy.
  •  
    This museum has really cool rocks and artifacts, but doesn't have much to do with our ancient Denver's unit.

More sauropods! - 2 views

    On the link I posted, scroll down for EVERYTHING Dinosaurs!
  • ...8 more comments...
  •  
    This is great because it gets right to the point and is very easy to understand. I also like in the beginning how it said that sauropod means lizard footed.
  •  
    This website is descriptive and interesting and exactly what we are learning about
  •  
    I thought it was interesting that sauropods adapted to have body armor. This is a very good resource.
  •  
    It used to be thought that the sauropods had a second brain at the base of the tail. Paleontologists now realize that what they thought was a second brain was perhaps an enlargement in the spinal cord in the hip area (although this is not universally accepted), containing nerves and fatty tissue. This enlargement was larger than the animal's tiny brain and may have controlled the animal's hind legs and tail.
  •  
    I thought that this was an excellent resource. The information was organized in a clear way. This is a website we should look at in class.
  •  
    This is a very resourceful website. It showed what they ate, what they looked like, species of sauropods and many other interesting facts!
  •  
    I thought this was a really good website. It talked about many dinosaurs, there size, climate, and diet.
  •  
    It was very interesting how the sauropods have a tiny head therefore brain and are only plant eaters. The sauropods are very huge!
  •  
    This was a very useful website that talked about the size of the sauropods bodies and necks, what they ate, and a lot of other cool facts about them.
  •  
    Sauropods are not heavily armed, but later versions of sauropods had some form of armor which was used as protection against other predators. Sauropods were plant eaters and had a very small brain hecause their head was very small. They were herbavores and ate mostley connifers.

    In this site, you learn all about dinosaur ridge's history and all the fossils in it.
  •  
    When Alameda Parkway was being constructed in 1937 to provide access to Red Rocks Park, workers discovered hundreds of dinosaur footprints. These were found to include mostly Iguanodon-like footprints, perhaps from Eolambia. Carnivorous theropod tracks are also present.
  •  
    I learned after reading the information posted on Wikipedia that the majority of the footprints on the ridge are Iguanodon-like footprints.

    I didn't know that dinosaur ridge was world famous. This website had very useful information.
  •  
    This wikipedia site was very helful. Unlike most wiki's, this webisite did not flood me with information. It had only the nessicary info. I had no idea that when Alameda Parkway was being constructed in 1937 to provide access to Red Rocks Park, workers discovered hundreds of dinosaur footprints.

    That's cool how you can see the actual tracks that dinosaurs made. But how were they fossilized.
  •  
    I thought this was a really good resource about dinosaur ridge. It talked about the fossils there an death dinosaurs are fou d there
  •  
    It was very interesting to see how the dinosaur tracks have been preserved into the rock. Dinosaur ridge is a very important geological site, and it is amazing that it is located in Colorado.

    Part of the Morrison Fossil Area National Natural Landmark is Dinosaur Ridge. Morrison, Colorado, that is just west of Denver, is where it is located. Dinosaur Ridge has found very famous dinosaur fossils over the years.

    Dinosaur Ridge holds evidence to the past creatures that lived in Colorado. while the Alameda Parkway was being constructed so local citizens and visitors from other places could come and visit the beutiful rock formations of red rocks, tons of dinosaur footprints were found, mostly ones of the iguanadon. In dinosaur Ridge, widley know dinosaurs were found such as the fossils of the allosaurus. The allosaurus is a predator to sauropods.

NASA climate change website! - 5 views

    This website is very thorough in examining the causes and effects of climate change. The website stated that temperatures have risen up to 2 degrees across the entire planet, causing natural disasters, poor air quality, and destruction of wildlife and habitat. Although climate change is natural and there has been 7 glacial retreats in the last 650,000 years, the recent temperatures are off the charts and carbon dioxide levels are higher than they have ever been, showing it is linked to human oil consumption. Global temperatures, sea level rise, shrinking ice sheets, warming ocean waters, glacial retreats, and extreme events are all signs of the global warming that is plaguing the planet. This website confirmed my original point-of-view on the global warming issue because it showed how this is uncommon for previous climate changes and how the warming can create natural disasters.

    This is a website from NASA and it has differs videos, and articles describing some of the news that has happened lately with the concept of Climate Change. One of my favorite arrivals firm this website was the seeing salty shifts article/videos. It shows the changes that had happened recently in the climates color changes. Hope you guys enjoy.This also says that the carbon dioxide levels have been higher than they have ever been that can eventually destroy animal life and all of their habitat because there is too much CO2, terrible air quality due to pollution. This is evident that humans have started the pollution rates in the atmosphere. Climate change can cause many different disasters to happen in the world. Another really cool part about this website was all if the detailed pictures that it showed. I really liked the picture where it showed where there was vegetation from 2000 to 2010.

    This website is all about climate change in Denver. It talks about how different temperature changes can effect our water supply from the mountains. A 2 to 5 degree Fahrenheit increase in temp. could cause a 7 to 14% decline in water supply yield. It talks about how we are fixing the damage of climate change and global warming. Also it talks about the Denver climate change adaptation plan. This is a very good and detailed website.
