I agree thoroughly with Natalia on the fact that after reading all the observations collected by our group on the patterns of volcanoes, earthquakes, topography, and seafloor age relative to plate boundaries, it becomes clear that there should be 3 distinct categories for our boundary classifications. Those of course being ocean-ocean,…[Read more]

1A) Yes, although there may be very few, it seems to be that there is at least one or two volcanoes present at some point along every plate boundary.

1B) Volcanoes seem to be much more frequent and densely packed along the ocean-continental plate boundaries. Typically occurring on the continental side of the boundary in a mostly linear fashion…[Read more]

Natalia, based on your observations and the results of your experiment I have to agree that your hypothesis of the sunlight evaporating the water out of the soil in the plant near the window was not supported by the results of your experiment.  I find the evidence of moist soil being present in the plant pot that was relocated away from the…[Read more]

Tajria, based on your observations and the results of your experiment I definitely agree with your conclusion that both the exposure to sunlight throughout the day and the significantly less obstructed heater at night are causing your room to be warmer than your cousins. The portion of your experiment when you placed blankets on top of your…[Read more]

Over the past few weeks I had observed that throughout the day, at seemingly random intervals I would hear the sound of running water in my apartment lasting for about 10-15 seconds. It sounded like it was coming from the wall in my bathroom, very similar to the noise generated when a toilet is flushed and water moves through the pipes. However,…[Read more]

Maria I too find the bioluminescent beaches incredible, I don’t know much about them but I think it would be super interesting to understand it more deeply.

Natalia I think it is fantastic that you are going to pursue a career in carbon neutral aviation, I personally believe that will become an even more important field in the coming years. Also that is a great meme, learning about climate change is something I look forward to as well!

My name is Windsor Sippel, you can call me Windsor. My major is Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (Geology), and I am planning to use this degree to move forward in getting a graduate degree in a related field. I am from NY, I enjoy being outdoors, hiking, and exercise in general, as well as reading and spending time with family and friends.

As far…[Read more]
