Issue 19: Ume Teaches: Water Budget and Water Tables

Ume teaches:

Water Table:

Precipitation of meltwater (melted glaciers) sink into the ground and become ground water.

* Not all water sink down.

Soil Moisture Zone: Plants use to hydrate (There's a lot of moisture in it)

Zone of Aeration-> filled with air. I would say that the soil moisture zone absorbs most of the water and and what's left, sinks down even more into the Zone of Saturation, which is right underneath the zone of aeration.

This is basically ground water stored. Right underneath is impermeable rock (it won't store water nor will it let go)

The water table is basically the height of where the water is being stored.

The capillary fringe is the by the water table.

Roots store water and have pore spaces

To make this easier, a real-life scenario:

I remember when I was younger, maybe 8 or 9 years old, my friends and I, were digging a huge hole, about 3 meters from the ocean. The soil on the top was all wet, for about 8 inches or so. The middle level was all dry so we had to dump water into the hole to  to prevent it from caving in. We dig about 3 feet in and we started finding the water getting stored, so we had to remove it with our buckets. We had reached the zone of saturation. In the end, the hole was 5 feet deep and 5 people could fit in it. Though we never reached the bedrock; it was fun.

A water budget describes how much water comes in and how much is losted.

Income methods: precipitation (rain/snow/sleet/ hail)

Spending method: (Evapotranspiration, run off, use by humans)

Water budget sees if the water table made an increase or decrease from usual.

If water table is higher than the land, it creates a lake:

5.15.12 ISSUE 18: SCIENCE REVIEW
Okay.~THIS IS FULL OF STUFF GIVEN TO ME.
By Miyu and EmPlate tectonics
When waves pass through solids, they move faster. When they pass through liquids, they slow down. Waves also change direction when they pass through liquids and solids.
P-Wave: Primary Waves, the pass through liquids and solids.
S-Wave: Secondary wave, the pass through solids only.
Hot Spots: Magma Chambers that stays in the same place when plates moves over hotspots.
Astronomy:
Types of Galaxy:
Galaxy: Hundreds of millions of stars bounded together by gravity.
Spiral Galaxy: (Ex: Milky Way Galaxy)
Property:
1. Has billions of stars
2. Are going through lifecycles (Stars born and die)
3. Turns into a Nova or a Super Nova.
4. Nebula-gigantic gas clouds from exploding stars
5. Heavy Elements. Exploding stars make heavy elements like uranium and other irons and metals

4 major elements.
Carbon
Oxygen
Hydrogen
Nitrogen

Elements are made by nuclear fusion. Particles come together.
H + H + H + H =He
Stars make elements Elements made by stars were in the Periodic Table Elements 1-92, I is hydrogen, 92 is uranium.
93- 121 is human made elements.
Clusters of Galaxys
Bound together by dark matters
group of 5-10 galaxies
The closest galaxy to us is the Andrometer Galaxy, also a spiral galaxy.
A celestial object is any object outside the earth’s atmosphere. They all move in the same direction and speed. All celestial objects appear to move through the sky east to west. The paths of these apparent motions are circular and occurs at a constant rate of 15 degrees per hour. That is call daily motion.
Aphelion: Point farthest from the sun.
Perihelion: Point closest to the sun.
All planets have elliptical orbits.
Distance from earth to moon is 240,000 miles.
Kepler’s 1st law:The force of gravitation between the sun and a planet is always pulling the planet towards the sun. The planet does not fall into the sun because of the centrifugal effect of its orbital motion. The two forces balance each other. However, when earth moves closer to the sun, its speeds increases due to the increased force of gravity.
When the earth moves away from the sun, its speed decreases due to the decreased force of gravity.
Kepler’s 2nd law: A planet will cross elliptical arcs A, B, C in equal time. (Area A= Area B= Area C) Stated another way, an imaginary line connecting the sun and the planet always sweep through equal areas during equal intervals of time. Since equal areas must be covered in equal areas during equal intervals of time. Since speed must be the fastest at perihelion and slowest at aphelion.
Rocks and Minerals:
Most rocks consist of more than one mineral, they are called polymineralic (granite)
Some rocks consist of only one mineral. They are called monominerallic.
There are over 2000 different types of mineral in the earth..
Organic minerals contain carbon.

Astronomy: We can see the moon only because the moon reflects light from the sun
Weather:
wave cyclone-air pressure- Low pressure system
All weather occur in the troposphere.
Streams deposit sediments by transporting to oceans
Sediments accumulate on the ocean floor.
After many millions of years, the sediments compacts/ lithify and cement, forming layers of bedrock. Disconformity occurs when uplifted bedrock and layering happens w/o folding/ Tilting of bedrock
Syncline: Upward FOld
Anticline: Downward Fold.
Submergence: Covering of Land due to rising sea level.

High Pressure	Low Pressure
1. Low moisture in Air 2. dry air 3 clear and sunny 4.low humidity 5. low temperature 6. high atmpspheric pressure 7. Wind move away from the center in clockwise directions downwards 8. cold front 9. cold air mass sinks 10. above 1013.2 mb, air pressure increase	1. high moisture in the air 2. moist air 3. cloudly rand rainy 4. high humidity 5. high temperature 6. low atmospheric pressure 7. wind moves towards the center in counter clockwise direction upwards. hurricanes, high winds, tornadoes, dark clouds, thunder storms 8. a warm front 9. warm air pass rises 10. below 1013.2mb, air pressure decreases.

Fronts is an air mass that has the same properties and conditions throughout the air mass. where 2 fronts collide, there is a thunderstorm.

Breezes: Gentle winds that extend over distance of less than 100km
Sea Breeze: A cool wind moving from above the water to land
Land Breeze: Flows from the cool land towards the warmer water
Valley Breeze: warm air from the valleys move upslope.
Mountain Breeze: cool air descends from the mountain peaks

Hey!~

Hey~! Ume here.
To all the Girl Scouts who uses or sees this website.
Well. This is my Silver Award which started from September of 2011 to May of 2012. I worked on it with my friend, whose's also known as Momo or Em on this site and my other friend Kathy sometimes. So my team pretty much consist of 3 people with much of my small class of top honor students in a junior high school. Well why would I make this site? Well for pretty much 2 major reasons.
 1. I need a silver award project
 2. I need to study for my test. (I fail if I don't study for science, and later math, and French. Social Studies is ok but I need to know a lot for midterms so I study.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODy7Zjuc3uA

This is pretty stupid reason right? But I need a project and I need to study so why not just combine it, I wondered. So boom! I made review sheets for my class already, why not just make it more widespread by putting it online? (And I was obsess with anime, and Nyan Cat was a popular figure of both America and the Kingdom of Anime, Japan so.... Nyan Cat was made by a American, and the vocals was made by Vocaloid's Queen of Pop, Hatsune Miku, a synthesizer with the voice bank as Saki Fujita-san, so I just used the popular figure without permission. Gomen creator. I ADORE NYAN CAT!~) Oh and I didn't like webs.com so I used blogger and i don't know what was tumbler at that time so... Blogger helped me make this! ncexpressreview.blogspot.com. Every time I made a issue of Test! I posted it in this blog for the people who would use it and advertise it on facebook. Many people read it and Em is the co-creator of ncexpressreview.blogspot.com
Holy! Apparently the last time I checked, there was 475 pageviews on this blog. The most arousing in March and the least...in January when I made the blog on the 20 something. LOL.
I requested help from Em and we did many MANY Projects together, school projects and blog projects, despite she's not a scout like me. So Thank You!~

Thank You. Em, I think u like lovely complex the best and Kathy, Homestuck as always

Ok. There's not much to say and only much to read about this project. So I should close.

Many thanks for you for reading this post. I really appreciate it.

Look what I found on the internet. Isn't it cool?

Please give your feedback to the site

Well the title says it all... Please give your feedback to the site... And also become a memeber... Arigatou, Merci, Thank You, Xie Xie

evidence for earth’s rotation
1. photographs in spaces
2. phases of the moon, no atmosphere, craters, only see 1 side of moon
3.focault pendulum
4. coriolis effect
doppler shift:
Long waves: red color, less energy, infrared rays, low temperature, red shift, low frequency, all objects move away from earth
Short waves Blue color, more energy, ultraviolet, warmer temperature, blue shift, high frequency.all objects move towards earth.
Metamorphic rock formation
Intrusion: Heat and pressure rearrange the molecules and the rock it contacts causing the rock to change into another rock
Slate > Foliated
denser than orginal
sandstone turns into quartizites. More dense and harder
shale turns into slate, which turns into micaschist, which turns into gniess.
limestone and dolostone into marble.
coal turns into diamond.
bituminous coal > wet
anthracite coal > dry

most mountains are made of granite>Low density
basalt> high density, at the bottom of the ocean.
colloids , clay, silt, all suspend in water.

cacti head

Lol... with Em liz...

a picture of the member Stalker 98... LOL it looked like a cacti in the end so we made him green

lol.. wait like 10 minutes for a new science issue to come out...
