Earth Sciences/ Planetary Sciences/ Physical Environments
Objectives/Goals My experiment was to find out why does an earthquake occurring on thrust or subduction fault displace more water, creating a tsunami, than an earthquake occurring on a slip…
CSEF · 2005
Earth Sciences/ Planetary Sciences/ Physical Environments
Objectives/Goals The purpose of this experiment is to see if temperature, humidity, wind, and dew point affect how well you can see the stars at night. My hypothesis is that when temperature…
CSEF · 2005
Earth Sciences/ Planetary Sciences/ Physical Environments
Objectives/Goals The purpose of our project was to see which of the three diffrent plants we used as barriers would work the best against wind erosion. Since over 2.6 million acres used as c…
CSEF · 2005
Earth Sciences/ Planetary Sciences/ Physical Environments
Objectives/Goals The purpose of my project was to find what type of hillside had the least amount of mudslide. The different types of hillsides used were clay, topsoil on clay, topsoil and g…
CSEF · 2005
Earth Sciences/ Planetary Sciences/ Physical Environments
Objectives/Goals My goal was to test the absorption ability of different soils in the local area. I thought that soils which were heavier in sand would absorb more water. I also hypothesized…
CSEF · 2005
Earth Sciences/ Planetary Sciences/ Physical Environments
Objectives/Goals The objective of the project was to learn about erosion. I designed a project that would simulate erosion in the real world. By doing this I have learned that the more energ…
