.~Who deserves aa better grade than mee.?? ; *


1. My best blog was my wordle blog. This blog was so good because I had fun with it and it really helped me learn about the vocabulary words we had.


2. I think I deserve a high A, between 95%-100%. I think I deserve this grade because all my blogs are on time they are all complete and they all represent the topic and information I was given to work with.


3. My favorite topic was chapter 16, because the vocabulary was the easiest to learn out of all of them, and I also felt like I really understood what the chapter was about. For example words like gyre, and upwelling were some of the easiest words I learn. Gyre means large whirls of water within an ocean basin, while upwelling is when the cold water raises to the top and brings nutrients with it. So I guess I liked chapter 16 because it was the simpliest chapter for me and I thought I could to do the best on it.

.~Chile Earthquake shortened....EARTH's few days.!!


1. Title: Chile Earthquake May Have Shortened Earth's Day, shifted Axis. Publisher: New York
2. Earth's day can get shorter when a big or massive earthquake occurs.
3. I don't know if I agree with this because I'm not a scientist, but if it can be scientifically proven than I guess I agree. I agree because in the article he said that he had some type of scientific information to back up his theory of what can happen when a massive earthquake hits.
