My 3 favorite projects were  Luis', Arvind's, and Irving's.
I liked Luis's group's project because of the cool model he made of the Devils Tower. They seemed to know their background pretty well also. I learned a lot from their presentation which is good because that was the idea behind doing the project in the first place.
I thought Arvind's was really good as well! He learned the info and actually knew what he was talking about. The fact that he could describe and give good examples of what his project was about, showed that he did his research properly.
I thought Irving and Marlon did a pretty good job on their project actually! The Pamukkale hot spring in Turkey are pretty amazing. Its crazy how that water (springs) has that many health related benefits! And its pretty! Plus Marlon and Irving knew the information well enough to where they can answer and address questions properly and easily.
Overall, I thought everyone's project was okay. Not everyone did their share of work on their part of the presentation which was quite obvious because there was hardly information on those slides and that they couldn't really explain what that specific thing is nor can they answer questions fully. I think people need to do their part in a project because you're affecting their group's entire grade because of their laziness.

               
     Trinity and I are doing a project over the Hessdalen Lights. The Hessdalen Lights is a series of unexplained light phenomena in the Hessdalen Valley in Norway. No one knows exactly what or what causes the light appearances to happen. Some people believe its dusty plasma, while others believe they're UFO's. Dusty plasma is basically electrically charged plasma, producing a light. These balls of lights can appear in multiple colors, various shapes, and a variety of sizes.

Canyon Lake Gorge

Formed by a flood of the Guadalupe River on July 4, 2002, Canyon lake gorge provides amazing geological and fossil evidence. The gorge cuts through millions of years of geologic time periods like the Cretaceous era. Showing millions of years of amazing fossil evidence!

Taking the tour through the gorge was very educational and pretty cool. I learned about the history of the gorge, what all kinds of fossils there were there, and the animals that the fossils belonged to. The dam was built for two reasons, to control future floods of the Guadalupe River and to provide an emergency water supply to those who live along the Guadalupe River basin. History goes all the way back to "Pangaea"!

First Post- Background Information

Mt. Fuji

 Mt. Fuji is Japan's largest mountain & volcano!! Standing at 12,388 ft tall, Mt. Fuji is located on Honshu Island, Japan. The last known eruption was on December 16th, 1707, and lasted until the beginning of 1708. Mt. Fuji isn't like other mountains and volcanoes. This is because one, Mt. Fuji is perfectly symmetrical and two, it's a stratovolcano. A stratovolcano, is a volcano that is composed of solidified ash and lava.

Mt. Fuji is depicted throughout Japan's history. It's also portrayed throughout literature and art in Japanese culture. The mountain has been a sacred
symbol to some of the religions in Japan, such as Shinto and the Ainu, since the 6th century. Mt. Fuji is one of the "Three Holistic Mountains" in Japan. At the base of the mountain, there is a forest which happens to be the world's top location for suicide. Which adds to the country's past, present, and future and history.
