    EAS 10600 #M Group C

    David Sliva replied to the topic Lab 3: Discovering Plate Boundaries Continuing Discussion

    Our classification systems were quite similar, perhaps it would be possible to condense it into a single classification system, seeing as the occurrence of earthquakes, volcanism, seafloor age, and elevation are related. Perhaps it could be done by putting the values for E, V, T, and S next to each other. Ie: E1V2T1S3. I like your idea of…[Read more]

    EAS 10600 #M Group C

    David Sliva replied to the topic Lab 2: Scientific Method

    I agree with these conclusions, seeing as water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius when the pressure is 1atm but has a lower freezing point at higher pressures (as evidenced by water’s phase diagram). The most convincing evidence was the test involving holding an ice cube to determine if it would be more slippery if it melted. It might be a good idea to…[Read more]

    Why do trees shed bark?

    When I was going for a walk, I noticed that most trees were shedding at least a little bark. This led me to wonder why. I noticed that that (depending on the tree), the bark that was peeling off was darker than the parts that weren’t peeling off. I also noticed that it was drier, and often flakier than the rest of the…[Read more]

    David Sliva replied to the topic Lab 1: Introductions Discussion

    The world’s garbage patches and the chemical waste that they introduce into the food chain are a huge problem for the environment, it would be interesting to know what their impact is on the atmosphere in terms of toxic gasses.
