ROCK SLIDES
Rockslides are the most catastrophic type of landslide. They involve a sudden rapid slide of bedrock along planes of weakness. Rockslides are very common in the oversteepened canyons and drainages of Idaho, particularly in those areas like the Salmon River Canyon where more than 5,000 feet of elevation may exist between the ridge tops and the canyon bottoms.

JOurnal entry #1

The parties at fault for the oil spill in Mexico I think are the sailors because they should have acted correctly and assumed there was a problem instead of assuming it was nothing. That is their job and they did not fo fill it correctly. Also I think the government is at fault for not taking drilling seriously enough because, if the government made sure the technology was correct and everything worked then, there wouldn't be an oil spill. Lastly I blame the company who is profiting from the oil. The reason is they should have taken responsibility to make sure every thing worked. Many things failed during this tragic event. If the company who was in charge of all of it took responsibility, then this whole thing would have been prevented. In conclusion, the sailors, the government, and the company in charge of the operation should be to blame. These are the best three i can think of, there are many more possibilities though.

fossil fuels

rocks get burned for energy, electricity, etc.. and lots of carbon gets put into the atmosphere. Which then acts as a green house gas, which means it traps all this carbon in the earths atmosphere. This the earth warmer by a couple of degrees

Dantes Peak

the readings of the water seems accurate about the 3.2.
some signs of eruption does not mean it will erupt
it got really dark really fast because of the ash clouds


the truck would've blown up while driving across the lava(the tires wouldn’t last that long)
harry and everyone is still alive after the main explosion
roads collapsing and houses breaking, everything being destructed

This is a mold because it is in a museum and museums don't show the real fossil because they want to preserve it.
this is an original fossil of a mammoth I know this because of the surroundings it is still in the ground not fully recovered yet

homework 1

I believe that 3 is first because it is a intrusion to the surface while passing all layers of rock. I think 1 is the second youngest because it is the closest to the top. 6 is the third because that is the next closest to the top. 2 is the forth one because it is another intrusion but it doesn't over lap 3,6,1 so they are younger then it.then I thick 4, then 5 because 4 seems to be closer 6 then 5.
