More info on diamonds

This link is very informative on diamonds. I did not know that they were different colors. And it is cool how only diamonds can be cut by diamonds.

I'm very surprised that they actually are typically yellow, grey, colorless, or even BROWN! I thought that they were kind of blue. This truly surprised me.

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.

It is really interesting how the tectonics plates are moving constantly and it clearly describes the Pangea thory

theory

It is cool how rock can form other rocks by breaking.

Fountain formation is sedimentary rock formed from eroded ancestral rocky mountains. Red rocks is an example of fountain formation.

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.

Website about igneous rocks.

This is very good info on this 698 feet building

This shows the igneous rocks all around the world

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

I'm not sure if I thought this was that useful. Millipedes are one of many animals in that time period, it does not give much use if the information is about a modern insect.

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

This is interesting but does not relate to what we are talking about in class

Website for crater rock

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.

Pretty interesting and give a short good explanation of igneous rock.

I didn't know that igneous was ignis in Latin and it means fire

I learned a lot more useful information about intrusive igneous rocks that I didn't know before.

How to make Diigo show up in Safari on an iPad

Step 3 is confusing. I didn't know what to copy. I had to ask Mr. Gatlin. This is some good information about how to highlite the websites though.

Thank you so much for the help I will use that but it is a little confusing because I am not teccy

This had good information but very little, it told how extrusive rocks are formed.

Great information but it is a little short.

Igneous volcanic rock and it forms when lava from inside the earth flows out

Weird

When you think of having an adventure spreading a loved ones ashes, you never think of turning them into diamonds. Weird. But really cool

It's definitely weird, but it's interesting how you can always carry your loved ones with you.

Shows the definition of igneous rock and examples of them

I think it was a good website and very informative

That is a good website! It helped a lot and was very informative!

This picture shows the layers of rock from east to west and north to south.
