this is a picture of a rift volcano. Rift volcanoes are shallow volcanoes also known as Rift eruptions, and they burst in small scales. they form when magma rises between the diverging plates, and they occur around or actually on plate boundaries. They have forceful eruptions, but are nt as high as other types of volcanoes.
which site has the highest species richness?
site one has the highest richness in species
Which site is the most diverse according to the simpsons index?
site one is the most diverse, because it has the lowest D value
Do any sites have a low Simpsons index and high species richness?
Both sites have low data numbers for each category
How is conservation related to biodiversity?
Conservation of ecosystems can relate to biodiversity because if we conserve an ecosystem, then this allows animals to live there and reproduce, meaning that there will be more diverse species in the environment

In this first video it explains acceleration. We see that the bus in the video speeds up with a continuous sound, and it slows down with a harsher sound. As explained, the bus speeds up, because of the change of acceleration, and there can be positive, negative, and zero acceleration. The bus slowing down is called de acceleration. Acceleration can be calculated by change in velocity divided by time. This allows us to calculate the rate of acceleration.
In this second video we see two men racing. They both are going the same speed and they are staying at the same rate of velocity, so they are racing in constant velocity. Near the end of the video they both take a fall, but one of the men gets up and continues on racing while the other man is left laying on the ground but eventually gets up and walks back towards the start. Not only is this an example of constant velocity but it is also and expample of displacement. The man who continues on will have a greater displacement and a greater average velocity based on he kept moving and the man who turned around went backwards on a negative path back to his zero starting point.
In the lab we did today, my partner and I were very confident about our experiment. Unfortunately, we did not get the same number as we had calculated, but my theory is that because I felt the bag get some what heated, my guess is that we lost matter in that it had escaped from the bag when we poured in Chemical C. We possibly did not close the bag fast enough, causing some matter to escape the bag; therefore, not capturing all the possible matter. The reaction was a bit underwhelming, in the sense that we must not have put in enough chemical C, because instead of turning a bright yellow, and becoming squishy, we got a soft, yellow, chunky power like consistency (kind of like Moon Sand, or Squishy Sand); as shown in the photos below.
Measurements and Calculations:
Baggie: 1.9g
Chemical A: 2.3g
Chemical B: 1.9g
Chemical C: 0.5g
total after the product had been measured: 3.7g
our original calculation: 2.8
as you can see from our calculations, we lost approximately 1 whole gram of matter in the 2 second span of closing the baggie.

a picture of tin chloride
my element: TIN (Sn)
tin oxide
tin chloride
the two compounds I found are: Tin oxide and Tin chloride. Tin oxide is used as ceramic glaze and was found by a man of the Golinski. Tin chloride does not have a name to its discoverer but it is used in oxidizing materials, and some liquid mixtures and also is used in glass. tin chloride is also used in cosmetic products. I personally like this one better because I use cosmetics enough and now I know what goes in them. 🙂 Tin has a variety of uses and has been used for thousands of years; it was even mentioned in the old testament!
Element: Tin
Atomic Family: tin is a transition metal in the carbon family
who discovered it? why/how?: who: UNKNOWN.
uses: used in alloys like bronze, useful for non rusting equipment. also is used in making weather resistant windows.
interesting…: Tin (Sn) has a natural resistance to oxidization
