Earth History
It is good to know about our earth because we live here and we need to know about what our earth was like to understand what it will be like in the future and it helps us learn how we can take of the earth. It also helps us know how the earth functions.
Earth Systems
For my connection I chose my families fishing trip to Minnesota, because I remember it very well and I loved every minute of it. I also feel like it will be easy to connect things to.

A star is created through fusion which is a force that is created when the outer layer of a star contracts with the inner layer condensing together means heat is created which makes fusion somehow.
When swimming in the water the deeper you go the more pressure pushes down on you just like how the pressure pushes in on the inner layer of a star.
The Big Bang happened when one smale organism expanded really fast to create our universe. Then molecules came together to create all things. When the trip came to fruition it happened so fast and created an excitement.

The earth overtime has shifted and move to create the earth we know now. The earth's landform used to be what we called Pangea. The magma under our Techtonic plates moved to change our landforms, and changed our earth.
Over the years our rocks have formed in layers, rocks form in many different ways that make different types of rocks.

Rocks are formed in different ways. Sedimentary is formed when a bunch of little rocks is condensed. Metamorphic rocks are formed by a lot of heat and pressure condensing them together. Igneous rock is formed by cooling magma.
A rock can transform and change by whatever formation they are put through later in its life.
Rock types tell us about how a past landscape was by the type of rocks that formed.
The fish in the lakes are like the rocks, the bass in the rocks mold to their environment, the rock bass have a color that blends into the rocks but the bass down deep are more to blend in with the alge. That is like how different rocks are formed based on their enviorment and what they are put through.

The Earths Tectonic plates shift and move causing earthquakes. The Convergent, Divergent and transform plate borders cause earthquakes when they shift and rub against each other. Convergent: Boundaries that push toward each other. Divergent: Boundaries that push away from each other. Transform: Boundaries that slide along each other. Just like the boat would rub together and bang into each other when they were tied to the dock and the waves would move them, like how the waves move the boats the magma moves the plates.
The earth has 4 spheres, the Biosphere, Geosphere, Hydrosphere, and the Atmosphere.

Where all of the spheres of the earth combine together is an interface. These areas create Feedback loops, an amplifying loop raises things up at a fast rate like a stampede. A Stabilizing loop brings things to a normal level.
The Interface areas are like the shore of the lakes, all the life of the lake and the land is on the shore.Rocks and in the morning a fog comes over the lake making the shore the perfevt interface area.

Geosphere, The Geosphere is the base, it is the sphere with the soil, and rocks
Biosphere, The Biosphere is life, it is the plants, the animals and all other living organisms.
Hydrosphere, The Hydrosphere is host to all our water.
Atmosphere, The Atmosphere is our air and clouds, etc.
The Carbon we give off from our exhaust goes up into our Atmosphere and causes things like acid rain, and Warming.
Humans have impacted the Earth over the years by building and growing our cities and driving vehicles that aren't good for the earth.

If Everyone lived like my family we would need 3.2 Earths to sustain everyone, we take a lot of electricity but we buy less food.

The Solar System is all revolving around the suns gravitational pull. A bigger planet will have more of a gravitational pull and can suck other plants in to create a bigger group of planets.
Like how in minnesota when we would set out bobbers they would drift in to the shore because the waves and whitecaps would push them to the shore just like how gravity keeps all the planets in the gravitational pull.
We can date rocks by radiometric dating. Overtime the radioactive force in a rock will slowly diminish and it can tell us by how much is left the rocks age.
In conclusion there is alot about this earth that we dont know yet but learning the science around the earth can help us understand the big rock we live on.
