• Over one million Earth's could fit inside the Sun. ...

blog about Antarctica

Key Question 1: What is the environmental/social sustainability issue?  A major environmental issue is Antarctica’s ice is melting.

          

                                                                        

Key Question 2:  What factors have caused this issue? climate change and global warming is melting the ice sheets, the reason it is getting is getting hotter is because there is a hole in the ozone layer which means the sun is getting through and heating up the earth, the thing that causes global warming is carbon dioxide and greenhouse gasses. 

Key Question 3:  What will happen if this issue continues to degrade? The seals,blue whales and penguins will lose their habitats and bit by bit the ice will melt and go into the ocean and will start to eventually start to flood continents and people will start to lose their homes.

Key Question 4: What are the possible solutions to this issue (either being currently done or could be done)?  You can’t kill any bird or mammal in Antarctica,you can’t mine there, I know that there are petitions about climate change and global warming, for example greta thunberg is worrying about climate change. by leaving school every Friday and going outside the 

Sweedian parliament and arguing to them.

Conclusions: Write conclusions summarising what you learned from your 

research. Include specific evidence from your research to       

support your findings. 

Antarctica is melting because of global warming and climate change there are petitions from greta thunberg about climate change, by leaving school every Friday and arguing to the Swedish parliament about climate change, we can help the Antarctic  by not killing the animals, not mining anything there I have learnt that Antarctica is melting and the ocean level is slowly rising which will kill the population

phases of the moon

• New Moon. the phase of the moon where it first appears.

• Waxing Crescent.The waxing crescent phase is the moon's first step toward fullness.

• First Quarter.The First Quarter Moon is a Moon phase when we can only see half of the moon 

• Waxing Gibbous. waxing means it is getting bigger and gibbous refers to the shape 

• Full. the full moon is where you can the whole moon 

• Waning Gibbous. waning means it is getting smaller and gibbous means the shape 

• Third Quarter.The Third Quarter Moon is when the opposite half of the Moon is lit up 

• Waning Crescent. only a little bit of the moon is lit up 

The moons impact on the tidesHigh tides and low tides are caused by the moon. The moon's pull generates something called the tidal force. The tidal force causes Earth—and its water—to bulge out on the side closest to the moon and the side farthest from the moon. These bulges of water are high tides.

We plant trees and they give us oxygen 

We use fossil fuels, and they make acid rain 

We pollute the water and they give us water 

We are building more and more things but the earth is trying to keep up

Blog about the lake

Lakes Of Aotearoa

People need to care about these lakes because it is a resource that we need to today . people use it today for swimming, for picnics ,family time 

The human actions that have ruined this lake are throwing in rubbish, cows eating grass there has been many more but I can't think.

It is very usable in different ways, you can still use it to this day. In the past people used it for food, swimming and they also us it for materials and clothes. The lakes might have been managed by some supervisors like lifeguards. The lifeguards make the water afe and make sure no one dies or litters. 

The lake is a risk because people, they need lifeguards, The lake won’t last much longer,at the pace that we are going
