the 3 surival things

If i was stranded on a deserted island with my 3 best friends with basic supplies the first thing i would do is pick a leader . then seperate the supplies between each person , but id be sure you give the right person the right supplies . then when seperated evenly i would have the two most althletic people to go scout for food and have them take the multiple attachment knife , compass , and half the first aid kit , and the mirror to signal for help of if they need us . once we find a base camp (shelter) and with the supplies we found (rocks and wood mostly) and the food they got from the island ( edible plants , berries , birds , and other animals ) we would make a fire and take shifts on who to stay up and be watch ( the would have the knife ) . the next day we would first split jobs . one person make a fishing pole out of a stick and a vine and go fish for food . another person look for food around the island . another person would go find useful items . i would look around for any predators or animals we can use for help and take the knife and scout the island to JUST MAKE SURE WE'RE DESERTED . then build treehouse and live there till were rescued .

if i had a family and we made $2000 per month and payed $1000 for rent $100 for electricity , natural gas $75 , water $100 , car insurance $75 , clothing $50 , tolietries $50 , then food and car gas on the rest . first i would sell the car . that would takeaway make or the problem and i would use bikes instead . i would use food stamp for to help pay for my food . then try and get on section 8 for less pay on rent . then use the rest of the money for unnessarary items .

if we ran out of coal i would first make my house into a renewable energy farm . i would get solar panels as my roof . i would put like 0ne wind turbine in the front and one in the back . then put a geothermal generator in my house .

CST tips

here are some CST test taking tip. Get a good night rest and a great breakfast is important as well. Cover the answer choices so you cant see them , then read the question thoroughly. Think of your answer before reading the choices, you’re less likely to be confused and get it wrong. Cross off choices that are clearly wrong or have nothing to do with the answer. This makes your odds of choosing the correct answer even better than before. Read the question carefully , if you dont get it read it several times if you need to. Underline the most important ideas , numbers in the question. Always answer the easy questions first. go back to the more harder questions and rethink and if nothing works simply just make an educated guess. Pace yourself so you have enough time to complete each question. Double check your answers, but only change if you misread the question or found something in the test that shows your first answer was wrong. Otherwise, stick with your first guess. Answer every question carefully and put the answer in the right spot! If there is a range of numbers to choose from, choose an answer in the middle. Most incorrect answers tend to be at the extremes of the range. Choose the answer with more details and qualifiers like often and usually because answers with absolutes like always and never are harder to create. When one choice is All of the Above, choose it if two statements are true. If at least one of answer is false, don’t pick All of the Above. When one choice is None of the Above, do not choose that if you know one of the answers is true. Make sure all answer bubbles are completely filled in and erase any stray marks. Respect the testing environment! Bring something for when you finish, you will not be allowed to listen to music, use your phone or move about.

jupiters great big red spot



http://www.physast.uga.edu/~jss/1010/ch11/12-09.jpg

Jupiter has a big spot located 22° south of Jupiter's equator . Its dimensions are 24–40,000 km west–to–east and 12–14,000 km south–to–north. The spot is large enough to contain two or three planets the size of Earth. we barely know much about Jupiter yet alone its big red spot but astronomers have recently discovered new facts about it !  the great red spot is actually a huge anticyclonic storm thats lasted more than 347 years . although in 2009 they discovered at the start of 2004 it was half the size it was a century ago at the rate its going it will be circular by 2040 . it shrinks 1 kilometer a day thats kinda slow for its size but the fact its shrinking is amazing .   between 1996 and 2006 the spot lost 15 percent of its diameter along its major axis. with infrared cameras or telescopes have found out that the red spot is colder than most other clouds on the planet . The cloudtops of the great red spot is about 8 km higher then clouds around it. we got pictures of the GRS from the Galileo mission. this space craft used Earth's and Venus' gravity to sling shot to Jupiter. As it was doing its mission something went corrupt and it crashed into the redspot.

in 1966 scientist discovered its counterclockwise circulation. It is not knwn what makes the great red spot , red but theories supported by lab experiments suggest that the color may be red from organic molecules , red phosphorus , or another type of sulfur compound. the GRS can change color from darker to lighter. the spot was darkest the most in in 1961-66 , 1968-75 , 1989-90 , and 1992-93.

my thoughts on the world beyond

                                      THE CELESTIAL SPHERE

the Celestial sphere is the discussion of objects in the sky that allow you to imagine them attached to a sphere surrounding the earth. this sphere has a bunch of points in it. just as we rotate in a direction the sphere rotates east to west.
   
The path of the Sun across the celestial sphere is very close to that of the planets and the moon. After clocks became available, it was a relatively straightforward job for astronomers to relate the path of the Sun in the daytime to the one of stars at night, and to draw it on their star charts. Because of its relation to eclipses, that path is known as the ecliptic

earth science test notes

key concepts
18.1
. water vapor is most important gas in the atmosphere
. the process of changing state requires energy two be transferred in the form of heat
18.2
. when air is allowed to expand it cools, and when it is compressed , it warms
. for condensation of water to occur the air must be saturated
18.3
. cloud are classified on the basis of their form and height
. fog is a cloud with its base or close two the ground

soil




While a nearly infinite variety of substances may be found in soils, they are categorized into four basic components: minerals, organic matter, air and water. Most introductory soil textbooks describe the ideal soil (ideal for the growth of most plants) as being composed of 45% minerals, 25% water, 25% air, and 5% organic matter. In reality, these percentages of the four components vary tremendously. Soil air and water are found in the pore spaces between the solid soil particles. The ratio of air-filled pore space to water-filled pore space often changes seasonally, weekly, and even daily, depending on water additions through precipitation, throughflow, groundwater discharge, and flooding. The volume of the pore space itself can be altered, one way or the other, by several processes. Organic matter content is usually much lower than 5% in South Carolina (typically 1% or less). Some wetland soils, however, have considerably more organic matter in them (greater than 50% of the solid portion of the soil in some cases).
