Week 9 Blog Post

Lab Notes: Creating a timeline. We also looked at the earth viewer simulator. We came across 5 different time period events. One of them that really stood out to me was the Permian Extinction this one happened 251 million years ago. I also found the snowball earth glaciation to be interesting which took place 715 million years ago. This is what spread ice around the globe and I found that fascinating.

Lecture: We took the space quiz in lecture!

Textbook: I thought reading about the space race was very interesting information as it also went into things extensively on also how the full process worked. I learned about when this was all kicked off and what the timeline entailed. I thought it was very helpful seeing the timeline and dates laid out for what year all events occured. I would like more information on what people did to educate peers that were confused or struggling on topics.

To protect things like this, this organization relies on volunteers, donations, and partners to help protect Iowa's natural places. Volunteers were known to donate their time to help keep prairies, trails, and rivers in good condition. The donations helped bring in more resources to have good help on sites across Iowa and things we are trying to protect. This foundation prioritizes many different things. The first is looking at Land, Water, and Wildlife Protection. Another thing this foundation looks at and considers is creating multi-e trails. Multi-use trails are paths or routes designed to accommodate a variety of recreational activities and ...

LAB- Filled Atmospheric CO2 : Over time, the values are increasing. Mauna Loa Seasonally is exponentially getting higher as the starting point is higher than the end point, which is closer to the current day.-- Science of Climate Change Video : 2020 saw the hottest climate ever. Hits the largest number of megafires. Megafires we have not always seen, but now it has become an annual thing. What is driving the rise in global temperatures? Albedo, Temperature, and Atmosphere.-- Greenhouse Gas : Greenhouse gases play a crucial role in regulating Earth's temperature by trapping heat in the atmosphere. Greenhouse Gases absorb and re-emit infrared light.-- How Does Global Warming Work? The Earth absorbs light from the sun. The Earth also emits light. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere let visible light through but absorb infrared light. Due to climate change, methane has tripled in the last 100 years.-- Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide absorb different infrared wavelengths.-- Textbo...
