Wadi Degla Reflection


The Wadi Degla  is in Maadi. Monday march 19 2018. 5G. Science. Doctor Bill the geologist said the different rocks.I wonder what other animals use to live in the degla I think there are new fossils still being found I saw lots mountains  and rocks.The hike was tiring and dangerous  but worth the view.Overall this was very tiring but this was really fun and also risky too but this was one of the best field trip I have ever went to.          

Standard Stream Erosion


Q:
My hypothesis was that the sand/clay would all go on the table and create a mini flood.
The equipment we used was a stream table and sand/clay,water and  measuring cup and a ruler.The procedure was the sand/clay were on a side of the stream table so we put 3 cups of water and then we watched as the erosion happen. What intercede me was how it made the basin drainage and how the water went threw the whole and into the bucket.This experiment was very interesting and and it was a lot of fun.

Why does our Earth's surface look the way it does?

I think Why does our Earth's surface look the way it does is because there are so many formations such as mountains volcanos canyons and many more and all of them are different  sizes and different lengths and widths   causing our world to look like this 

Virtual Reality Experience

What I saw in through my experience of virtual reality goggles was people and the view of
 Victoria falls and the fall and there were rocks and the sand. I wondered is it safe in  Victoria falls? because it is a beautiful view and there is lots of rocks and sand any animal could be hiding anywhere?I feel't in this experience that the sand was blowing in my face even thought it was just the sound I could feel people talking I could feel the falls splashing on me. In total I think this was a great experience.
