    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.

    I found this article, informative about the tectonic plates.
  • lilaarnold on 26 Nov 12
     
    Very informative I did not know that much about tectonic plates, great find.
  • juliadellasalle on 26 Nov 12
     
    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.
  • willcaulkins on 26 Nov 12
     
    Very informative and interesting. I now know a lot more about tectonic plates.

    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
  • christophershay on 27 Nov 12
     
    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 interesting. It's cool that these plates move around so much. Will the earth become Pangea again one day?
  • Charlie Wallace on 01 Dec 12
     
    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
  • alexwimer on 02 Dec 12
     
    I discovered that the plates make up the Earth's outer shell which is called the lithosphere.
  • benberry on 02 Dec 12
     
    Its cool that the 6 major plates are named after 6 continents.
  • williammccormick on 02 Dec 12
     
    This is a very good article about plate tectonics. It is a good recourse, and reflects the video we watched in class.
  • Lily Dines on 02 Dec 12
     
    Most geologic activity occurs at the edge of the plates.
  • isobelclara on 02 Dec 12
     
    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.
  • angelaeast on 03 Dec 12
     
    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.

    This has good information about the tectonic plates, but it is very long. I also like it when I can see the part of the world the commentator is talking about. 1/2 of the time this part is on the other side of the world than the techtonic plate that is moving around.

    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 website was really sad, I want giant dragonflies. It was really informative and a brain popper!
  • maxjack on 26 Nov 12
     
    I think it's amazing that the giant dragonfly's wingspan is around two and a half feet. I wonder how large a giant tarantula would be.
  • lilaarnold on 26 Nov 12
     
    The picture is so gross, but I could never imagine a dragonfly 15 times bigger!

    It's very amazing that dragonflies were once very big. This was a very interesting website.
  • taylorstein12 on 27 Nov 12
     
    It is really interesting how super-size dragon flies are 15% percent larger than regular dragon flies!
  • kohlterry on 27 Nov 12
     
    It is so cool that dragon flies were so much bigger than they are now.
  • evanrumsfeld on 27 Nov 12
     
    The dragonflies of this size could not be sustained because the oxygen level lowered.
  • cj5600 on 27 Nov 12
     
    I see why the dragonflies could have grown faster because of the oxygen level. There was more oxygen then. With less oxygen, they could not have grown very fast and would run out of breath.
  • macycummings on 27 Nov 12
     
    I wonder why they shrank or "came back" after the great dying?
  • elevine_14 on 27 Nov 12
     
    The giant dragon flies are 15 percent larger than others. This is interesting to know and read!
  • Tucker Hamilton on 27 Nov 12
     
    The reason why dragonflies are smaller is because of a decrease in oxygen over the years since then. The deacreased oxygen makes the bugs smaller because there is less oxygen for there bodies

  • christinemb on 02 Dec 12
     
    Good short article about Arthropleura. Arthropleura were relatives to millipedes and centipedes. The Arthropleuria's length ranged from 1-8.5 feet. It lived in what is now northeastern North America and Scotland. It was the largest known land invertebrate of all time.
  • williammccormick on 02 Dec 12
     
    This is a good source about how arthropleura were created, and how they are related to millipedes and centipedes.
  • Lily Dines on 02 Dec 12
     
    Why do most people think that arthropleura were carnivorous if millipedes and centipedes aren't?
