 * lightening
 * landslides

= Week 3 =

this week was the grade 5 camp, but i still did some work on my wiki page
=** Week 4 **=

===this week i have learnt that under the earths crust there are plates. the plate causes eathquakes by hitting another plate. under the plates there is lava. i learnt that people try to brake through the crust because people think under it is diamonds. the inside of the core is hotter than the surface of the sun.===

how do we classify disasters
= About the earth and the moon =

the earth is very useful even though its diameter is a quarter of the earths diameter.the moon is useful as it lightens half the nights of every month. the full moon passes through the earths shadow.
= Jupiter =

Jupiter is the largest plant in the solar system and also spins the fastest. Jupiter is made up of 90% hydrogen and 10% helium. The ring around Jupiter is about 6500km wide and 30km thick.
= week 5 =

= what i have learnt: = ===i have learnt the order of the plants from closest to the sun to the furthest from the sun. In is Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and then Pluto. The plants were named after roman gods. we learnt about the layers of the earth. there is the earths crust, mantle and the tectonic plates. it was interesting to learn about the middle of Australia and how the middle of Australia used to be a sea and now is a desert.===

**what resources do we use from beneath the earth?**
= = = week 6: =

what i have learnt:
= week 7 =

=
this week we learnt about the different types of volcano's. They are cinder volcano's, spatter cone, complex volcano's, composite volcano's and shield volcano's.the volcano's are not all filled with lava some are filled with just ash and cinders.=====

how does the moon and the sun effect us?
=**week 7**=

=
we learnt about a layer called ozone layer. the ozone layer stops asteriods and meteoriods come and hit the earth.Sometimes it lets them through. it also stops sun rays and other rays coming in. i also learnt about the atmospheric layers they are: mesophere,stratosphere, thermosphere, trooposphere and exosphere.=====

**how can what in our solar system affet us?**
if ateroids go out of the astroid belt it can hit our plant. also if we move further away from the sun it will get to cold and we wont survie or if we move closer to the sun it will get hotter and we wont survie.

they can affect us by hitting earth and that might happen if our atmosphere doesnt stop it. if it hits earth it would blow up and kill people.
 * how can meteroids, coments and astroids affect us?**



this is so exciting!
 * THE FINAL QUESTION!!!**

**My answer is. . . . . .**

//**YES!**//

**That is, yes i do think that humans are more dangerous to the world than mother nature, even look at my argument:**

**MY ARGUMENT OF WHY I THINK THAT HUMAN BEINGS ARE MORE DANGEROUS TO EARTH THAN MOTHER NATURE-**

I think that natural disasters can cause alot of damage to the earth, but we can usually repair it and make it return to normal, also humans are making to many products and manufacturing them in factories letting poisonous waste used for the machines into the air we breathe and the water we drink. A lot of animals and wildlife are close to extinction because we are ruining their habitats and cutting down rainforests which is where they live. Wildlife is apart of our earth therefore we are dmaging earth greatly just by the amount of trees and forests we cut down and ruin. Natural disasters don't happen that often and they are rarely massive, so we can make up for the loss over time but we are continuously ruining out earth for our selves every day. Basically, humans are reducing the amount of time we have left on this planet very quickly and if there was no such thing as the human race, then planet earth would be around for a lot longer than it will be.


 * THAT IS MY ARGUMENT! **
