Earth's Development & Mountains - Weekly Blog - 10/5 - 10/11

Summary:

The Earth was created from debris from the sun. When Earth was created, nickel and rock formed the mantle. It is believed that we got our water on Earth from asteroids that had water in them. The Earth wasn't stable until it was 4.4 million years old. Speaking of Earth, Stratigraphy is the drawing of graphs from mountains and layers underground.

SP 2: Develop and Using Models: 

Me and my table used a drawing of the inside of Mount everest to understand what happened and is happening inside the mountain. We cut sections of papers (that looked like it had layers ad had a legend) that were numbered, put lined up together in order vertically, then taped them together. We looked at the now taped together papers, and saw that rocks from the oceanic crust were at the top of Mount Everest. This was because Mount Everest was underwater before emerging onto land. There were sea creature fossils at the top of mount everest to prove it.
