Pondering the meaning...
- staring at the stars
- wondering why I am here
- wind, rain, fire, Earth, life
Kendra Fabela, 3/26/09
and more academic geo-haikus:
- crystals form bigger
- the slower the magma cools,
- now isn't that cool?
- Continental Drift:
- "newspaper" analogy
- of Earth's rotation
- a transform fault is
- more proof of seafloor spreading
- motion between plates
Kirby Isidro, 4/2/09
- The seafloor spreading
- volcanoes erupt, spewing
- it's never ending
- weathering, wasting
- rain washes down the hillside
- mountains turn to dust
- the Earth is rumbling
- deep down in ocean trenches
- magma spews and cools
Valerie Kundis, 4/2/09
- The plate tectonics
- diverge, converge, transform faults
- all in the Earth's crust
- Below the surface
- as the plates push each other,
- converge - a mountain!
- A life as a rock,
- igneous, meta, sedi,
- oh the weathering.
- Rocks lay everywhere,
- escaping their existence?
- Try impossible.
Jasmine Reyes, 4/2/09
- Earth has many rocks -
- Metamorphic, Igneous,
- Sedimentary
Raul Rojas, 4/2/09
- Mt. Asama blows
- pyroclastic mixture flows
- who will survive this?
- Northridge ground has moved
- Richter Scale reads six point seven
- no one saw this fault
- Pyroclastic flows
- Pompeii was catastrophic
- No one survived this
- When flying the skies
- International Dateline
- where did your day go?
Nikki Johnson, 4/2/09
- How was the world shaped?
- Sliding plates built our mountains.
- Today, quakes build them.
Luis Gracia, 4/2/09
- Volcanoes Erupt
- Overlie burning coal beds ( ??? )
- Gives birth to new land
Malik Jones, 4/1/09 (April Fools!)
and maybe my favorite:
- Rocks in his pocket
- Professor Farquharson knows
-
GEOLOGY RULES!!! (PTF
emphasis)
Saundra Greene, 4/2/09 with a
little help from her neighbor
not so scientific, but fun...
- the rocks form with ease
- they create charming mountains
- like Himalayas
- the birds are chirping
- their sound is harmonious
- I want to be them
- the Earth is shaking
- oh, no! is it an earthquake?
- duck and cover please!
- spewing volcanoes
- ash, basalt, magma appear
- Mt. St. Helens forms
Rosie Rodriguez, 4/2/09
from a friend of Rosie's (not in our class)
- the birds and the bees
- make love in the flower beds
- spring is wonderful
- the rain falls on me
- and through the soil to the seed
- flowers are blooming
Veronica What's-her-name, 4/2/09
more, more, more!
- destructive margins
- continental collision
- get off that mountain!!!
- Somalian Plate
- is filled with pirates; watch out!
- let's go on a cruise
- oh, look at the time
- sionide (?), uranium
- 5 o'clock cocktail
- Walt made me famous
- we met in 1930
- we share the same name...
Andrea Meier, 4/2/09
and yet even more...
- number of protons
- plus the number of neutrons
- affects atom's weight
- igneous rocks form
- by crystallization and
- consolidation
- stream sediments are
- generally well sorted
- called alluvium
- a "divide" is known
- as imaginary lines
- cutting through basins
Kirby Isidro, 4/14/09
from the day after tax day...
- streams, three types of load
- dissolved load, suspended load
- oh yeah! and bed load.
- streams move up and down
- lifting anything, there is
- its dissolution!
- on the Earth's surface
- breaking into bits of sand
- sedimentary!
- texture of a rock
- slowly cooled magma results
- it's phaneritic
Ana Isabel Hermosillo, 4/16/09
four more from the sixteenth...
- dripping from the caves
- infiltrating ground water
- making stalagmites
- water traveling up,
- defying gravity - wow!
- oh, artesian wells.
- plate tectonics says
- moving all the continents
- once called Pangaea.
- lava is rising
- underwater volcano
- hot spot island chain
Priscilla Naranjo, 4/16/09
a third third-Thursday submission:
- the igneous rock
- it cools and solidifies
- composed by magma
- the glassy pumice
- at volcanic eruptions
- rapid cooling rocks
- relative dating
- a geologic time scale
- sequence of events
- the seafloor-spreading
- Harry Hess hypothesis
- movement by mantle
