Review of the year

Astronomy is my favorite topic for many reasons. First because I like learning about whats in space. Also i find stars interesting because of how the are formed. And the planets are fun to learn because today we are still trying to get a man on Mars to see if there is life. Astronomy is also my favorite because it is exciting to know the programs and technology we use to put people in space. Technology like the joystick which is how a space craft is controlled. The moon I would have to say was the most interesting because of its different phases.

When we learned about Earth's Atmosphere this was cool. I never knew that there were different parts of the Atmosphere until we learned it. Also I found that what types of things such as clouds are in what part of the Atmosphere.

Geology was also fun to learn about. I say this because I like to know how the Earth formed and what is on Earth. This is interesting for me because there is a bunch of things I didn't know. This includes the different types of rocks and how they form.Also where the rocks may be found.

During weathering and erosion I found it fun. I say this because we got to make a podcast on weathering and erosion. In my group we had a lot of fun with it by trying to make everything cool and exciting.

Earth's waters was also interesting. It is interesting because I never knew that 3% of Earths water is fresh water. Also I liked how we learned about different types of water and about the Everglades. And learning about the river system was also interesting.

Where does Colorado Springs water come from?

Where does Colorado Spring's water come from? 75% of water comes from mountain springs such as in Aspen, Leadville and Breckenridge.Pipes transfer the water down to be stored in reservoirs like Rampart Reservoirs and Catamount Reservoirs. From the reservoir water is taken to treatment before entering homes and businesses. 25% of the water comes from local surface waters and local ground water sources. Including pikes peak northern and southern slopes,Cheyenne Creek, and Fountain Creek.

Water Cycle Activity

The water cycle is the process in which water moves through the environment. In the water cycle there is no beginning or end because the cycle is continuous. If there is a puddle on a sunny day the sun drives the water source to evaporate. Then the water condenses forming a cloud. Next the cloud makes rain or precipitation.

Deforestation

Surface Tension

Deforestation

1.Why do the trees keep getting cut down and what happens to the trees after they get cut down is what I want to specifically research.

2.Conclusions I came to were deforestation occurs because farmers need the land to grow crops to feed the nation. Also more land for the cattle ranchers and cash crops to earn money for tropic countries. Logging is also why deforestation occurs so that lumber jacks can sell the wood to residents for warmth.Deforestation also occurs for building roads to transport goods. Not only is deforestation for this, it's also for Human settlement.

3. If no one listened to my recommendations then the world would be over polluted. Also most of the trees would be cut down so there would be less oxygen.

4.If people listened to my recommendations then the world would most likely be pollutant free and have a good amount of oxygen.
