Mass Movement-Landslides

Landslides- A place that the mass movement has a particular area of sliding. It can also be rock slides, slumps, and sturzstorms. Landslides are among the most common types of mass movement.

Who is to Blame?

I think that all the people that were working for BP at the time deserve the blame. It's not all for the CEO to make sure of. As soon as the crew found out that there was something not working 100%, they should have investigated the issue further. But the fault can go back even further, to the people who designed the drilling rig. They should have made sure that they built everything with care and high quality materials, so there would be no problem that would make the drilling rig sink or explode. Then, the people who tested it out have some part to play. When they were testing it out, they should have investigated further in to anything that could cause a problem, it should have been fixed. If they had found nothing that may not function perfectly, then that's a problem with the people who built and designed the drilling rig.

Coal

Coal is a sedimentary rock that is often it the color black. It also is frequently combustible and a fossil fuel. In our everyday life we use coal to generate electricity. Coal was formed many years ago when the earth was covered in swamps.

Danté's Peak

Three things that were scientifically accurate:
1. The water became filled with sulfur dioxide before the volcano erupted
2. There were earthquakes leading up to the eruption
3. The big eruption came a little while after the ash

The things that were scientifically incorrect:
1. The lava should have burned them when they drove over it
2. The lava flow would have reached them in the grandma's house
3. The grandma was in the acid lake long enough for it to burn her skin off

Fossils

I think that this one is a Replaced Remain. It is a replaced remain fossil because there is still parts of the fish like the bones, but some areas have been replaced with other material. The dark brown, which I'm guessing is some part of the ground, has replaced some soft tissue and bony parts of the fish.

The one above is an Original Fossil. I know this because you can clearly see the whole insect preserved in the amber. It appears to have no limbs missing, and all the soft tissue still there.

Youngest to Oldest:

3.

1.

6.

5.

4.

2.

I put 2,4 and 5 near at/near the bottom because I know that the oldest layers will be at the bottom. 1 and 6 are younger because they are at the top, and the young layers are at the top. The youngest is 3, because it is an intrusion and an intrusion is always the youngest.
