Volcanoes

-How volcanoes are formed
Volcanoes are usually formed around area on the earth where the tectonic plates are. The plates crack and magma comes flowing out through the crust. The magma hardens and forms layers. The layers then form a volcano.
-How lava is formed
Deep in the earth there is a mantle. The mantle melts and moves through thin pieces of the crust. The crust then releases hot ash and rock. After the hot ash and rock are through the magma comes out of cracks in the crust.
- Melting rocks
Extremely high pressure causes the mantle to melt. There are different types of magma. Such as: Mafic which is rich and dark lava, and. Felsic which is lava that consists of feldspars. Also intermediate. Mafic hardens into a dark igneous rock, Intermediate into a dark colored volcanic rock, and Felsic into a light gray hard rock.
-Volcanic Hazards
Volcanoes have a lot of hazards. First poisonous volcanic ash fills the air. Second Landslides form and they destroy structures. Then flowing lava can also destroy structures and kill people. Lastly the volcano can collapse.
-Types of volcanoes
There are many different types of volcanoes. The first type is a shield volcano. A shield volcano is a large volcano it has a broad summit and low sloping areas. Next is Cinder Cone volcano. A cinder cone has mounds of basaltic fragments, it carries liquid blobs of lava then they get spurt out and rain and form a cone shape. The last type is a strato volcano. They are built by multiple eruptions. They stand higher than cinder cones.
-Volcanoes form in different ways
Volcanoes erupt in different ways because it depends on what plate they form on. If a volcano is on a hot spot then the lava forms a chain. If the plates collide the lava tends to explode out. When the plates are separating the lava comes out smoother and it flows down.
-Can we predict when a volcano is going to erupt?
We can predict when a volcano is going to erupt. Before a volcano erupts smoke and ash come out of the volcano. So by that happening we know that lava is coming next. Scientists are beginning to use tools that can record these warnings. The problem is though that it is very hard to know exactly when the volcano is going to erupt.
- Preparedness for the future
Before we build structures we should think, is there a volcano nearby? Also people who live near a volcano should be educated about what a volcano hazards. There should be communication between scientist and the officials. Emergency plans should be thought out and agreed to.

The h1n1 virus is a flu that can kill you and is very hard to treat and people don't now where it comes from.One way to prevent the flu is to wash your hands a lot and get the vaccine to the flu.People may think that the flu comes from pigs because it is also called the swine flu which is another name for pigs.People can get fevers,other flu symptoms, or they could die.It would be horrible to die from the flu because there is so much that i didn't get to do and i would miss all my friends and family.The h1n1 virus is like the black plague in a way because it can and might kill you and you can have really bad symptoms to both.

The h1n1 is a dangerous virus. it stated as a disease that infected pigs. When people came in contact with the infected pigs they got the virus.The infected people then passed it on to other people. the virus is very contagious so it passes to other people easily. The swine flu is like the black plague because people weren't prepared. Other similarities are it spread fast and killed many people.

To prevent the flu you can get your shots and wash your hands. This flu causes people to die and you can barly do anything because the germes are eating you up inside.

Helen \ H1N1

H1N1 is a very terrible disease that is believed to come from pigs. that's why they call it the swine flu. it has all the symptoms of the flu only the swine flu is much harder to get rid of and is deadly. its already killed about 30,000 to 90,000 people in the USA. when it comes to how bad it is i would compare it to the black plague back in the 1300s. because the symptoms are so similar to the regular flu it was difficult to tell the difference between them. that's 1 of the reasons so many people died from this disease. currently there has been1 less reported cases of the swine flu but still there people that have it unfortunately

Venn diagram

Bubonic Plague:
1. Back then they didn't have planes. If it were to travel far it would have to have been done by ship.
2. Wasn't enough info to prevent the plague
3. Everything you touched was contagious

Swine Flu:
1. This disease is spreadable by plane and ships. But most people use planes today
2.Not a lot of people have died compared to the Swine Flu
3. More people wash their hands . Not everything you touch is severely contagious

Both:
1. Both are spreadable
2. Both are caused by animals
3. Both have same symptoms

Paragraph that Mr. Smith made me do for no apparent reason::

The Swine flu and the Bubonic Plague are both alike and different. These are probably the two most epidemic diseases ever to spread. The Swine Flu is not as big as the Bubonic Plague but it probably would've been if people didn't know how to treat or prevent the flu. Both the diseases originated from animals.

The First Emperor of China

The emperor was a selfish, cruel, ruler. He had an obsession with death. The emperor started to build his tomb in witch he would spent
while past away. He forced people to build it. His entire obsession was paid off; he died even before the tomb was finished. The emperor was buried with beautiful jewelry. He also was buried with 6,000 Terra-Cotta soldiers. The soldiers were there to protect him in his after life. The jewels were there so that he would have money and to have riches as an emperor would.

nazaria

In the two stories The First Emperor by Daniel Cohen and Digging Up the past by Helen Wieman Bledsoe share the same topic and that topic is about the Emperor's tomb.The main idea in the first selection is about the First Emperor and how he wanted power after he was dead. So thirty years before he died the made his tomb it was meant to be the spirt city.


In the second story Digging Up the past the main idea is about the excavation of the tomb and how they found over more than 6,000 soldiers and horses.


They compare because the stories both talk about the Emperor's tomb and how is it was made then what they found of the tomb.In the first story it is how the Emperor created his tomb.
In the second story it is about the excavation of the tomb and it was about his soldiers that were found.

Jose

The first emperor was a very powerful man who was
the founder of China. He was so powerful he order 700,000
people to build his tomb. This is the story of the first emperor
of China.

Ch'in Shih Huang Ti became emperor of China at the age of 13!
He started as a emperor of Ch"in. China was made out of states
at that time so the emperor declared himself as the emperor of China!
The name China even comes from the his name Ch'in!

The emperor became to get obsessed with his death. People have tried to kill him but they have all failed. If he died his family would have to be put to death too! So near the mountain of Li he started ordering 700,000 people to built his tomb! His tomb had 6,000 terra-coota soldiers and had traps so no one could touch his tomb

In March 1974 people dug up his tomb and found 4 pits of soldiers/vehicles! The forth pit was empty. The people tryed to put some terra-cotta soldiers back into pieces. Today people can walk on the tomb and watch all of the terra-cotta soldiers!

gustavo

The two stories , "Diging up the past " by Helen W. Bledsoe and "The First Emperor" by Daniel Cohen . The both stories share the same information: the emperor and his tomb.
In the first selection they talk about Ch'in Shih Huang Ti the first emperor of China. He was very carfull in his moves the way he wouldn't alow anybody to know were he went or what palace
he was staying at. At a period of time and age the emperor disided to start building his tomb.

In the second selection "Diging up the past" the main idea is the tomb of Ch'in Shih Huang Ti . The tomb was originally founded by farmers. An excavation imediatlly started . They found an army of Terra Cotta soldiers (statues) .

Both sellections are compared with : the emperor, his tomb, and both of their cruelness toward the people of China.The emperor is the same in both selections, the tomb is were they buried him (the tomb was not finished by the time he died) and his cruelness. He was very cruel towards the people of China. He would kill anybody who revilled his were abouts.

esmeralda

The first emperor he has a tomb and wanted to dig the soldiers in the tomb.The emperors name was Ch,shih Huang ti.He was important to china, and the founder of china.He was emperor at 13 years old.He started in a small state.

He builted the Great Gall to keep out the northern barbarian.The name china is from the emperors name Ch,in.He was obsess with his death.who ever relieved the emperors whereabouts was put to death.He sent people on a mission ,and if they failed they will be put in death.

in 1974 a peasant was plowing and found a clay soldier.Most of the clay worriers were broken.The men arranged in military fashion.The chines archaeologists are so hopful that hen the tomb itself is excavated.they had unlimited to do the job, to find the soldiers

Emily

I read two stories about the first emperor of China. Their titles are: "The First Emperor" by Daniel Cohen and "Digging up the Past" by Helen W. Bledsoe. The main idea of "The First Emperor" is the emperor was protective of himself. He had the Great Wall of China built to protect himself from the people in the north. He also didn't stay in one spot for very long so he could live longer.

The main idea of "Digging up the Past" is the emperor had an elaborate tomb. The emperor had a lot of people dig four pits and put terra-cotta soldiers and horses in three of them. They also buried him with jade and pearls.

Both stories are about the emperor. They both talk about the emperor and the tomb, but "The First Emperor" talks about the emperor more, and "Digging up the Past" talks about the tomb more.
