NOTES

MY THINKING

• Volcanoes have lava in them. Lava is dangerous because it can burn you.
• Poisonous gases, and chemicals make

Volcanoes an extreme environment because you can not baerth.

• I wonder how many active volcanoes are on earth.
• What is the most dangerous active volcano?

My thoughts

-Space has a white light (big crack) that scientists claim to be the end of space.

-If space is never ending

then imagine how many stars there are!  

The deep sea is (1800) meters below sea level which is a long way

Is very territorial this picture is called a viperfish as you can see it does not want to be friendly and if you go down enough you will see this fish at 5,000 feet below

The viperfish is one of the most unusual-looking fish in the deep sea. It is also one of the most popular and well-known species. Known scientifically as Chauliodus sloani, it is one of the fiercest predators of the deep. This fish can be easily recognized by its large mouth and sharp, fang-like teeth. In fact, these fangs are so large that they will not fit inside the mouth. Instead, they curve back very close to the fish’s eyes. The viperfish is thought to use these sharp teeth to impale its victims by swimming at them at high speeds. The first vertebra, right behind the head, is actually designed to act as a shock absorber. This fearsome looking creature has a long dorsal spine that is tipped with a photophore, a light-producing organ. The viperfish uses this light organ to attract its prey

The soils are frozen most of the year.

At the North and South Poles, the sun circles above the horizon for half the year, then takes a day or so to set, followed by several weeks of twilight and maybe three months of full darkness before spring approaches. At the Arctic and Antarctic Circles, there are 24 hours of sunlight and 24 hours of twilight/night at their respective solstices; the rest of the year has the same seasonal variations in sunlight as most of the world, but to a much greater degree. In between, there are extended periods of sunlight and darkness, longer toward the poles, separated by periods of day/night or day/twilight cycles.

It must be hard to live there if you cannot grow food there.

The light cycle is interesting but when it’s dark it would be hard to hunt and find and gather plants for food.

*You can’t breathe under water.

*Fish have adapted to live in sea pressure.

*How does water pressure form?

• Because you need oxygen to survive and space does not have oxygen.
• Also the sun is in space and if you get to close to it you might boil to death!
• Also there are planets like Venus which has poison gases.

Fun Fact! Did you know that 100 Earths could fit inside Jupiter’s red storm.                                  

Neil Armstrong went to the moon and it took 3 days to get there.

Question

What’s so extreme about space?

Answer

What’s so extreme?!  What’s extreme about space is you need a space suit and it has to have lots of oxygen.

That is what makes space a extreme environment!

Notes

My Thoughts

•   The strongest earthquakes only last 2-3 minutes but can level entire cities.

• Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes.

•   That is dangerous because lots of people can be killed by all the falling debris and cracks in the earth.
