Occluded Front
Where a warm air molecules get mashed between two cool air molecules making a high clouds. The air molecules join in the middle and may mix.
Warm front
A warm front is a front in which slow moving warm front collides with slow moving cold air pushing the cool air out.The warm air raises over the cool air making clouds and precipitation.
Stationary Front
A stationary front is a front in which both the warm and cold air are moving at the same speed collide. This makes a giant cloud right in the middle that collision that generally ends up in rain fall.
Cold Front
A cold front is when a collection of cold air that pushes warm air out of the system and makes precipitation. This does not always make precipitation but it makes it cold.Cold air collides with warm air in the opposite direction.

Havanna Cuba(25n) to London England(50n)
Hi this is your captain and we had an 9 day deadline to get from Cuba to London. It took us 2 tries because we got stuck on one the northern horse latitudes and lost progress. When we did reach our destination we used the prevailing westerlies as we traveled East, North-East.We were successful because of the strong westerlie winds. So join us for our next journey whatever it may be.

Ozone
The ozone is one if the things that make the earth a pretty and unique place. The ozone is a bond of three oxygen atoms to make a layer in the atmosphere.It is used for the protection against harmful UV rays that come from sunlight rays. They deplete after the CFC s break them into thirds and attract them to other non oxygen molecules.That is the effect that ozone has on the atmosphere.

photochemical smog
Photochemical smog is smog that comes from sunlight touching the pollutants in the air. This is becoming more and more common throughout the world because almost all of it is man made. The chemicals react as hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides. They form they react to form a brownish mixture of ozone and other pollutants. When this pollutant gets in the air it can irritate the eyes throat and lungs. It can easily harm plants animals and other living things.

Earhts Atmosphere
There are many reasons why earths atmosphere is different from others planets. First on the moon when a meteoroid hits whats there to stop it? Nothing, however this does not happen on earth because of our atmosphere. When something tries to penetrate the earth it almost intermediately bursts into flames because of all the friction that the atmosphere uses. However in some instants that meteoroid will penetrate and make a crater. It however won't be there long such as on the moon it might be there forever.

Science Exploration Summaries
The science of rockets
Since the 1950s NASA has used atlas rockets to send probes into space. They consist of three stages atlas, centaur, and payload. The atlas stage uses fuel boosters the centaur stage uses liquid fuel engines and the payload releases from one another.
The space program
Nasa was formed in 1958 as a program that would set out on many projects. Three of their earliest projects were Gemiani, Murcury, and Apollo. Apollo 13 was launched on April 11 1970 and ended up going from smooth flight to an unsothing freight.
Exploring Space Today
A new discovery came in the form of a small robot called personal sattilite assistant. Has camera, light, motion sencer, range finder ect to go along with its video display.
Using space science on earth
Less and less money is going to the space program every year NASAs struggles barley add up to the countries economic problems.NASA counters all these problems with the rest of the countries with justification of space exploration.

Seasons
There are many ways I saw that changed the seasons. First because the earth is tilted on its axis so when it revolves the different places of the sun cause seasons. When winter rolls around the south is getting the majority of the suns rays. In our season base it is summer in july because we get more sunlight. Those are the reasons for the seasons.

Zoom
The book zoom was a good book for those people that like to stop and think because that is what it makes you do. The first way is you look at something that looks a sun for instance and ends up being a rooster. Then it dramatically changed to a toy magizine on a cruise ship. The book changes the way that I look at the smaller things in life and made me look at the big picture.
I personally have never have seen something and wondered what it would be like in another perspective but thats just me. I never knew the simpilist of things could end up being such a big picture. I also didn't expect that a simple rooster could turn into a marvel of the whole universe in an everlasting perspective. The reasons I dont see them differently is alot of the brain is based on the here and the now and honestly im not to interested in whats beyond.
Scientists use perspective in all the things they do such as astronomy. They have to use perspective in astronomy because they have to be visual about the world around. They have to be able to look past the simple of amazing stars and find the amazing stars almost impossible to see. That is why scientists need to use perspective in there studies no matter what kind of science the practice.

Enigma Box
There are many things I discovered in my observations about the enigma box.First over the first 250 milliliters the water did not drip a drop.Then from that to 400 milliliters the box dripped slightly.After that to about 450 millliliters it started to pour slightly from there on it poured out heavly.
There are many skills that a scientist uses on a daily bases. First and probably the most important
skill is observation. This is very important because it enables you to use sences to create a
hypothesis. Another skill is prediction and classification are skills they use after you observe and make your hypothesis. Inference is a skill scientists use to complete the process. The last skill is making models which infers all of the other skills
I think the inside of the enigma box looks like a water slide. I think it twists and turns forcing the water to build in the valves until it can't take to the top anymore.When it gets to the top I think it simply falls out the tube. I also think that the reason it comes out so thourgholy is it only goes up half way. That is how the enigma box is built.
In the end the enigma box is not what i expected it was simpily a figure that when it reached the top the water rushed out. I felt I was pretty close though cause it did flow out. That is my enigma box summary sorry it was late.
