Thank You Guys So Much!

Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that has endured all this work and reading I have created for you guys to read. I also would like to think many people for all the help!

Mrs. Pope- Best Science Teacher ever! If you come to where I go to school you will graduate becoming a genius if you have her!

Lexi Yakoobian- She is one of my really good friends from school, thats sits beside me in my Science Class. Thank you for being able to put up with me! :) Also, Thanks for all the help with designing my blog. Haha I had no clue how too.

Megan Moloney- She sits across from me at the other Table and she had to hear all my comments I would make this whole entire school year! haha I bet right now you are working on your blog too? Now i am wondering. Are you. Its 6:42! Wow holy bonkers just a couple minutes ago it was 6:01. Wow time flies when your having fun!

Thanks again everyone in my C Class science!

Last one we are going to learn about everyone! It's the Drifting Buoy!

The Drifting Buoy was first founded in 1929. Wow what a long time ago. I still can't even believe that the people that lived in the 1900's had such a thing. I know a lot of my fellow class mates were born in 1990's but still. Wow, what a long time ago. I hope we come up with some bonkers invention. Yes, if you don't know what bonkers means then hopefully you have a dictionary sitting somewhere close by. If not there is no hope for you. Well OK whatever I will just go ahead and tell you guys now what it means. It means Crazy. So every ones new favorite word should be bonkers. If its not than just go home! Seriously, leave. Wow I am so bad for getting off topic. Well its my time I am wasting not yours! Haha ok well the Drifting Buoy is made to move around unlike some of the other different buoys that are anchored to stay in one place! Drifting Buoys are made mostly to examine the ocean currents!


This is what a Drifting Buoy looks like! I know How beautiful!

Well there are a lot of Buoys out there to learn about and today we are learning all about the Wonderful Weather Buoys!

The weather buoys were founded in 1927. All the different types of buoys are all similar in some sort of way. See they all basically are used to warn emergency vehicles of when something bad is occurring there. For example, think about the Oil Spill last year. It was pretty bad wasn't it. Well, just blame BP. They shouldn't even be in business right now. Hold up, I am going to put them out of business right now. OK, I am back. Well hope no one that is reading this liked to get there gas for the BP station. Weather Buoys are used to collect data from the Ocean. Some of the major things that they do are warn people and or emergency vehichles of something bad that is occurring. So maybe you may see them warning about low water levels. If you have a boat you probally know that you don't want to drive a boat where there is a low water level. Also, The weather buoys also can help determine the weather like qualitites of the water by the solar panels!

Weather Buoy!

It's Time....To Learn About Sub sea Observatories! :)

Sub sea observatories were founded in the year 1961. Oh hey I'm alive then. Oh wait no I wasn't. Ugh what is wrong with me today do I just not remember anything. It's official I am loosing it. Well anyway we can worry about when I was born later on in my blog, right now we have to get on topic and learn us some stuff about Sub sea observatories. Doesn't that sound interesting? That's what I thought too. Wow now I am sounding like Dora and how she talks and waits for a reply. OK off topic. Well, Sub sea observatories are used to be sunk underwater to the great depths of the ocean floor. They are sunk to the bottom to see and explore the ocean. They are very similar to Submersible Vehicles but with these we can receive better images of what has been going on down there in the great ocean! I know where I am going to live when I get older. I am moving too the Ocean. No, not to the beach. To the ocean. I guess I am just going to become a little fish like Nemo and Dory. Hopefully I won't loose my family when I move to the Ocean.

This is a picture of Sub Sea Observatories. See how they are connected to the little place and then they are sunk to the bottom of the Ocean to gather around information!

Focus and learn about G.I.S. :)

The G.I.S. which stands for Geographic Information System was first originally founded in 1962. The G.I.S. is basically a simple tool collects geographic data and pulls it together to compare it with something to the Earth's surface. Now, don't tell me you don't think that sounds really confusing. I know I am the one that had to research all this glorious information. Trust me it was very confusing. It took my sister to come and break it down for me to understand. So as simple as it sounds it does a lot of work to help us have a better understanding of our Hydrosphere!

Here is you a little visual of what the GIS is for a better understanding!

Lets Learn about Remote Sensing!

The study known as Remote Sensing was founded in 1960. Remote Sensing is pretty simple to understand. So, you will not be getting a big long paragraph from me with this one. Or will you? Remote Sensing is used to collect knowledge of any object. Doesn't matter which object you pick, just pick one. Ok, I pick a ball. So with that ball Remote Sensing will collect knowledge of it without any contact. Yeah you heard me no contact what so ever! It has helped us by letting the world's scientists to have to come in contact to find out all the information we need and want to know about something. Now, we just have this process, which just collects all the information we want it too without coming in contact with the object.


This is what happens during Remote Sensing!

The Simple Thing Called The Rain Gauge! Heard of It?

The Rain Gauge out of all instruments used to study the Hydrosphere, this one was invented the longest time ago. I know it was invented in the great 500 B.C. Wow, that's a pretty long time ago, was I alive? Oh no I wasn't. I had a brain mouth function  there for a second! Man I need to focus more. Well this is a pretty simple object to describe. The Rain Gauge is used to study the amount of precipitation collected over a certain time frame. It could be from ten days ago, or from one year ago! A Rain Gauge is like this little cup looking thing that has numbers up the top. Pretty much looks like a measuring cup! So yeah, go out and buy you one today. I know I am going too!





Well, This is a Rain Gauge. You can barely see the numbers going up the cup. I promise, there, their!


Satellites :)

Satellites were first founded in 1957. Wow, I know all of this technology is created in the "old ages." You know why, since all this fantastic technology was created because; everyone in that age wanted all of us to be geniuses with all of this technology and stuff. Well, anyways let's get back on topic. Satellites have had a major impact on our world today just because, now with satellites we can view what is happening on the Earth while up in space. So instead of coming down going swimming with the fish in the deep waters, you just look at the satellite readings. Satellites I personally think are one of the greatest inventions that are used to study our waters.


This is a Satellite. I know it looks strange but this is what we use to study our waters!

Its time to get your thinking cap on and learn about, Moored Buoys:)


Buoys were first founded in 1951. So lets just say the Moored Buoy has been around for awhile. Moored Buoys were a very helpful invention to the Hydrosphere. You may often see some ball like looking thing out in the Lake/Ocean. That is called a buoy. The Moored Buoy is used to mark a specific spot in the water. They are usually out to warn people out on the waters of shallow waters etc. They have been a very helpful tool used. Back in the days they didn't have buoys they would only have some little ball anchored in the ocean. That ball is what they would use to be aware of all the things happening in the Ocean. Now we have the helpful buoy. This invention has made a major impact on the studying of the Hydrosphere. You can get a buoy from any like beach wear store.  Also, there are several different types of Buoys, which you will learn about the other two in just a few! Ha ha that rhythms!



Buoy being worked on.

Submersible Vehicles



Submersbile Vehciles




Submersible Vehicles are car looking things that go underwater to study the deepest parts of the ocean. We have Submersible Vehicles because the deepest depths of the ocean have to high of a water pressure for our ears to take on. They have helped us out in the science world a lot. Now with these we can actually explore what is down in the deepest parts of the ocean, as before we couldn’t because we didn’t have anything that could go down that deep. The Submersible Vehicles were first used in the year 1953. On January 23, 1960 the Submersible Vehicle named the Trieste went under water at depths of 10,912 meters. They went down that deep into the waters to explore and see what was down in the waters. While down in the ocean they discovered many exotic sea creatures. They discovered this little red shrimp creature. The scientists said they had never seen something like it.

SONAR!


The method of using SONAR to study the Hydrosphere was first discovered in the year 1906. I know I know that was a long time ago, but look; it’s gotten us to where we are today. SONAR has had many different impacts on the way we can study the great depths of ocean floor. SONAR is used to send out sound waves, and then SONAR waits for a returning echo. This has helped us through the years because, now we have just a quick step to studying the ocean floor. Back then though the scientists had many different things they had to do to study the ocean floor. 



This is a visual of what SONAR actually does!
