Geology Name:______________________ Scientific Communication Lab Report Complete your responses in a color other than black or red Part 1: Describing objects in words and drawings 1. Describe your rock/mineral here using words. The rock I decided to go with was in the conglomerate bag. I don’t believe it is a conglomerate rock after doing and looking up the conglomerate rock online images. This rock measures 3cm in width being the longest and 2cm being the shortest with a height of 2.5cm. The visual description of the rock is a multiple of various colors from gray tones, beige tones, and black tones. There is rock particles that do fall off as I am examining the with my hands. The particles that are being release look like tin foils. The texture is rough to touch. Rock reminds of a mountain I have climbed before. 2. Insert your drawing of your rock/mineral: 3. Insert a photo of your rock/mineral here: Picture will be attached through canvas 4. Describe what you can see through the microscope in detail, without naming the item . 5. Insert a picture of the item you viewed through the microscope here: Part 2: Looking at Landscapes Describe the two landscapes here. In the Matterhorn you can see a sharper peak compared to the Popocatepetl. The Popocatepetl is more like a volcano as you can see white cloud like smoke on the top of the mountain and the Matterhorn peak is similar to that of a pointy cone. Both seem to be have been taken place during the winter because of the snow that covers both. In picture 1 you can see the color of the trees are more of a burnt born as if the snow had caused some change in color. The color of the pasture is not bright green but more tannish. In picture 2 you can see the pasture color more greener with what look to be lambs eating pasture. Sky color in both are blue with picture 2 being covered with white clouds spread out. 1

Science Communication Lab Report Part 3: Quantitative descriptions Graphs 1. Describe the graph. What variables are depicted on the x and y axis? What are the data points that make up the graph? On the Y axis it is the response variable (dependent variable) and on the X axis is the explanatory variable (independent variable) On the Y axis it shows the Departures in temperature and the X axis shows year. 2. Interpret the graph. Discuss the meaning and implications of the data that it shows. Data from thermometers (red) and from tree rings, corals, ice cones, and historical records (blue). Grey area is possible error in data. Black likes is when it is smoothed multi-year average. Calculations – please SHOW YOUR WORK for calculations 1. The rocks along the San Andreas Fault are moving 3.4 cm per year. At this rate, how long will it take San Francisco (on the Pacific side of the fault) to travel the 650 km to reach the Oregon border (on the North American side of the fault)? Please show your work. The time it will take San Francisco to reach the Oregon border is 19,117, 647 Distance = 65,000,000km Rate=3.4cm 2. Which is closer to you right now, the outside edge of the atmosphere (Kármán line) or the center of the Earth? (Look it up.) How many times closer? Please show your work. The Karman like is 62 miles The center of the earth is 3,959 2
