Dr. House

In my project I talked about how the earths atmosphere protects the earth from the suns light rays and other unknown objects. I also talked about the suns cycles during the day and the night, when it goes down regularly and what time it comes up regularly.

Patterns in nature Dr.LR

Patterns in nature are visible regularities of form found in the natural world.These patterns recur in different contexts.Some patterns include trees,spirals,waves,and cracks just naming a few.Natural patterns form as wind blows sand in the dunes of the Namib dessert.You can see these patterns everywhere.
Joseph Plateau was one that examined some of these patterns.Ernst Haekel painted some of these.All these patterns can be very beautiful.Tree bark.sand in the desert,and rivers are also a few.

Recent earthquake in Oklahoma

Langton Oklahoma- an earthquake shook up residents in central Oklahoma Saturday night the 44 magnitude temblor struck five miles south southwest of the town of longstone, Oklahoma or about 29 miles north of the Oklahoma City metro, around 851 pm. At a depth of just 2 miles.

    Horned toads are found in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and New Mexico. It is a small flat lizard with a fierce-looking face. It is mostly brown with two rows of sharp scales. 
    They are very unique because when they feel they are not safe or become alarmed they shoot blood out of their eyes. Horney toads are a part of the reptile family, and is TCU's mascot. They are  one of a kind lizard. 

Dr.Doolittle

Armadillos are literally living dinosaurs, left over from previous eras, and the only mammals on the earth to have their own built in suit of armor. Texas designated the nine-banded armadillo as the official state small mammal in 1995. 
A distant cousin of the sloth and anteater, the nine-bounded armadillo is the only species that occurs in North America. A bony,scaled, shell protects the armadillo from predators. Originally native to South America, the nine-banded armadillo now ranges as far as Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Louisiana. Armadillos are amazing and awesome creatures!

Zebras

Zebra each have a different pattern of stripes.Zebras are social animals that spend time in herds. They graze together,primarily grass. The partners may make it difficult for predators to identify a single animal from a running herd and distort distance at dawn and dusk. Zebras recognize each other by their stripes.
   Zebras liven small in small family groups consisting of a male,several females, and their young's. These units may combine with others to form awe-inspiring herds. Zebras must be constantly wary of loins and hyenas. A herd has many eyes alert to danger. If any animal is attacked, it's family will come to its defense, circling the wounded zebra of attempting to drive off predators.

Dr. House

My name is Dr. House and I'm the biologist for this six weeks.
I'm going to be talking about deforestation and its effects. About half of the tropical forests have been cleared. An estimated 18 million acres is cleared every year. Deforestation is one of the factors of global climate change.
       Trees absorb green house gases and carbon emissions. They produce oxygen and perpetuate the water cycle by releasing water vapor into the atmosphere. Without trees, forest lands will become barren lands. The reason that logging is so bad for the climate is that when eyes are felled they release the carbon they are storing in the atmosphere, where it mingles with green house gases from other other sources that contribute to global warming accordingly.
