 * Big Bang Theory Assignment **

**1) About how long ago did the big bang take place?** - it took place around 13.7 billion years ago

**2) What is a black hole?** - a region of spacetime from which nothing, not even light, can escape. The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass will deform spacetime to form a black hole.

**3) Does the universe continue to expand?** -Yes! It continues to expand

**4) Was there really a big bang?** - According to the evidences written in [] Big Bang theory is real. First, they said that the universe had a beginning which is the big bang. Second, galaxies appear to be moving away from us at speeds proportional to their distance. This is called " Hubble's Law" and this observation supports the expansion of the universe.

**5) What light elements seem to support the Big Bang Theory?** -Hydrogen and Helium are light elements that support the Bing Bang Theory.

 * Time Keeps On Slippin’ Assignment **

**1) What is the current calendar most of the world uses / accepts? Explain who made it and why this is accepted.** - The Gregorian calendar. It was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII as an improvement upon the Julian calendar to keep the average length of the calendar year better in line with the seasons.

<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua',serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">**2) What is a leap year?** <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Book Antiqua',serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">- Leap year is a year in the Gregorian Calendar having 336 days! With the extra day, February 29, intercalated to compensate for the quarter-day difference between an ordinary year and the astronomical year.

<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua',serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">**3) List three other types of calendars used and how they set up their calendar (ex. Lunar).**
 * <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Book Antiqua',serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">a. Lunar Calendar **<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Book Antiqua',serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> – is synchronized to the motion of the moon (lunar phases) .

<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua',serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">**10 Things We learned:**

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Book Antiqua',serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">1) Earth is divided into four geologic eras which are: Precambrian, Paleozoic, Cenozoic, and Mesozoic <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Book Antiqua',serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">2)Precambrian is the oldest division of geologic time (4 billion years from the birth of the earth). <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Book Antiqua',serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">3)Paleozoic is the era of geologic time characterized by the appearance of primitive fishes, land plants, and primitive reptiles (over 300 million years of life). <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Book Antiqua',serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">4)Mesozoic- relating to the third era of geologic time (it lasted 100 million years). <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Book Antiqua',serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">5)Cenozoic - relating to the latest era of geologic time (65 million years ago). <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Book Antiqua',serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">6)Mammals survived during Cenozoic era. <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Book Antiqua',serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">7) Plate tectonics are the puzzle of continents. <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Book Antiqua',serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">8)Pangaea is a super continent meaning all lands. <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Book Antiqua',serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">9)Alfred Wegener came up with the theory of Plate Tectonics (Continental Drift Theory) on 1911. <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Book Antiqua',serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">10)Mid-ocean ridges are underwater mountain systems.

<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua',serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">**3 Questions:** <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Book Antiqua',serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">1)How was the creatures and things on earth formed? <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Book Antiqua',serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">2) Why are the eras named after Greek? <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Book Antiqua',serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">3) Why do plate tectonics move?

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Book Antiqua',serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">-For me, the point of watching those videos were to have an idea of what happened before and to understand more about the facts, events, and theories about earth by both watching and listening. I also think that if we're watching videos we are more focused rather than listening to the teacher because sometimes it's hard to figure out some things without pictures or diagrams. 48/48 great <span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua',serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">**Part 1.
