This websites provides excellent proof of the fact that global warming is real. In the last 650,000 years CO2 levels did not go over 300 ppm. However in recent times the ppm has sky rocketed to 390 ppm. I find it is also frightening that ten of the hottest years occurred in the last 12 years. Coldest records are not being reported as often as they used to be. The top 700 meters of the ocen has rose a frightening .3 degrees Fahrenheit seance 1969. The acidity of the ocean has also risen by 30%. This website backs up my ideas on climate change. I believe and so does NASA that global warming is happening now.

This website is very detailed, it has a graph and excellent proof of global warming.

This link show you that global warming does make an effect on the earth. It tells you lots of good information. I was surprised that the earth has had its hottest temperatures in the last 12 years! There has been no coldest records in a long time.

A lot of information about record highs and emissions in the atmosphere.

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.

This website talks about how fast weather has changed throughout this year. From the hottest to the coldest temperatures.

This was a very good website because it showed us how 2012 was the hottest year for USA and this website gave us additional information about hurricanes that I never knew.

This is a website about Climate Change and how it changes over the years.

An unconformity is when there is a missing layer in the rocks

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.

It says there is no Wikipedia page with that title

All Wikipedia pages are down.

Here is the real link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permian-Triassic_Extinction_Event This page talked about why the mass extinction happened. It was very resourceful.

This is a website about stromatolites.

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!

This is a Wikipedia article about a type of sauropod called apatosaurus. (Website seen in 7-1 class...)

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 site gives some basic but helpful information that includes data for how much hotter it is getting by the year.

This website that I found gave good information about climate change, the affects of climate change, what causes climate change, and even how we can reduce our affect on climate change. The website says that the rise in average temperatures can cause major shifts in climate and weather. The website shows that humans have created large amounts of greenhouse gases which include the gases I listed on blogger. The website also says that climate change can affect water supply, agraculture, power, transportation, natural envornment, and our health. Evidence from this website supports my idea on climate change on blogger. It does not support how climate change affects evolution.

This web sight was really informational about the current issue of climate change. I agree completely about the issues of climate change; our human impact on has released so many gasses into the atmosphere that our world is gradually getting hotter and hotter each year. This web sight also stated that our actions can backfire too. If we do not change our impact on the climate earth could possible become not possible for humans to live on.

Q and A with climate change facts! Good to quiz yourself with:) my favorite is: In the past, has Earth been warmer than it is today? If so, does that mean we shouldn't worry about global warming?

NASA (National Aeronautics Space Administration) and NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) agree that climate change is happening and humans are contributing to it. Many people agree in the United States of America and abroad. MAny believe it is because of greenhouse gases from humans. Scientists are trying to answer some very important questions such as how quickly will the world warm, and what consequences will that have on certain parts of the world. The global temperature average has risen by 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit over the last 100 years. NOAA said that the decade between 2000-2010 was the warmest decade on record. 2005 was the warmest year on record. There have been more intense rainfall and severe heat waves. Sea levels are rising. The Earth does go through warming and cooling because of factors such as sun and volcanic activity. The warming and cooling is partly natural and partly because of humans. The sun's energy has fluctuated but is small in comparison compared to human's effect. The warming is consistent with what happens with heat trapping carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide can lead to climate changes that can hurt plants, animals, and people. For every 2 degrees Fahrenheit raise 5-15% reductions in crops. 3-10% increase in rain which would create flooding. 5-10% increase in stream flow. 200-400% increase in wildfires in the western United States. Scientists predict that the temperature will rise 2-12 degrees Fahrenheit by 2100. It is not too late too fix climate change!

This website is very interesting. It shows a map and when you click on a region it explains in detail how the climate change in that region has changed.

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.

This website talks about how the climate has gone from a cooling period to a sudden heat wave in the 20th century

This is an article about the tectonic plates that make up the crust of our planet.

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.

This website is really interesting because it says that dragonflies have grown by 15%. It was interesting, but irrelivent to the unit.

The giant dragon flies are 15 percent larger than others. This is interesting to know and read!

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

This is a really informative website about stromatolites. I learned a lot about stromatolites in this article.

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.

Dinos in Morrison

Interesting site on the Morrison formation.

How many Dinosaurs were found there

Dinosaur ridge is a cool place to get to get. Involved with what fossils look like and how a cool mark that the divisors lift dose not have to be bones it can also be foot prints.

I found this sight Extremely helpful. I really enjoyed they extra information about dinosaur preservation. I never new there were so many cool things in my backyard.

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.

This website shows how dinosaurs footprints were stayed intact for millions of years.

It would be awesome to find real dinosaur tracks.

Over past years, the climate is drastically getting warmer. Four International Science institutions collected data, which has been transfered to a graph. From 1880 up to now, the climate has been getting warmer. But this past decade, appears the warmest. 18 different scientific associations wrote a bit about climate change and their thoughts. Some say that it is clear that rapid change in climate is from humans. Others say it is due to greenhouse gas. I do believe that climate change is partially caused by humans. And even though it may be hard to tell at times, the climate is constantly changing day by day.
