Reflection Essay

Plate Tectonics is the theory that earth's outer layer is made of up of different plates called Continental or Oceanic that means plates under the ocean.
I agree with the theory of plate tectonics because I believe long ago all the continents were connected and formed one giant piece of land called Pangea but after a while the earth's mantle got very hot and it caused all the continents to move apart.

All of this is in the process of a theory called Continental drift we know this is true because some species fossils are found in some continents coast and the pieces seem to fit together so It proves that they were connected also similar kind of mountains or geographical features are found in both plates that were once connected.

My opinion about Plate tectonics is that I feel like it's right but one thing I wonder is that I the earth's plates are still moving today then why no one ever noticed anything about it or is there a possibility that all the continents might reformed during the process of the plates moving gradual.

I enjoy almost everything about this project because I got to choose the what I want to do in every layer so It was easier for me to do my work .

The most challenging part for me during this project was finishing the video for my song because I did not know how to use imovie  and It took me lots of time to figure it out.

I learn how to make a rap song It was my first ever music video I ever made.

f I could done anything to improve my work I would just get tested but teacher earlier my advice is do not wait once your finish anything go get tested because the time do not wait for you.

I would not change anything about this project not even to expand the time because It was really enough for me and my group.

                                                               Vocabulary

New Moon	The moon is not visible in the sky. Except during a solar eclipse,     Nouvelle lune
Waxing Crescent	The moon is less than one-half illuminated by the sun but less than one quarter illuminated. Occurs when the moon's illumination is increasing,     Premier croissant
First Quarter	The moon is one-half illuminated by the sun. Occurs when the moon's illumination is increasing, Premier trimestre
Waxing Gibbous	The moon is more than one-half illuminated by the sun but not completely illuminated. Occurs when the moon's illumination is increasing,  Lune gibbese

Full Moon	The moon is totally visible in the sky. Except during a lunar eclipse,  Pleine lune
Waning Gibbous	The moon is more than one-half illuminated by the sun but not completely illuminated. Occurs when the moon's illumination is decreasing,  Lune gibbese decroissante
Third Quarter	The moon is one-half illuminated by the sun. Occurs when the moon's illumination is decreasing,  Troisieme trimestre
Waning Crescent	The moon is less than one-half illuminated by the sun but less than one quarter illuminated. Occurs when the moon's illumination is decreasing,  Nouvelle lune

                                                               Summary

The reason the moon kept changing phases or shapes is because the way the sun, moon and the earth faces each other It depends in all of their position. Lunar revolution is when the revolves around the earth and the length  is 29.5 days for one revolution. The moon changes in many different shapes like the new moon when the full moon between the earth and the sun, We usually cannot see It because the sunlight reflect on the other side of the moon so the part we see is totally black. There is other phases like the waxing crescent, We only see a little part of the moon but It gets bigger than the previous one. Quarter moon is the time we can see only half of the moon.

Gibbous moon is the moment we can see more than half of the moon but not all of It still gets bigger and bigger. Full moon is when we can see the whole entire moon. Starting there the moon starts waning that mean decreasing smaller and smaller and follow all its steps again from waning crescent to New moon.

                                   Critical thinking question

How is earth affected by movement revolution?
The earth is affected by movement revolution because whenever the moon and the the earth attract each other the ocean tides increase, It's called gravity. And on earth we see the moon changing phases that is because It depends on the  earth moon and sun position. Earth revolution cause why we have different season's on earth.
