1) I have done around five maybe but i was one of the students that arrived to this class a little late in the semester. I think my grade on these blog will be a B maybe lower becuase for some reason some of my blogs did not go through and i have no clue why!
2) I dont know about my final grade because i have done well on your test, i have A's on both the tests and i dont know what i will get on my blog so i dont know? On the tests i got A's when we retook them in class so that makes my probabilities on getting a good grade on the final slim.
3) Three things i want to know about:
Storms: i want to learn about tornadoes an how they form and come down to earth adn move around on earth. about hurricanes besides that they are big tides that come and flood everything about how snow forms
Space: i want to know why pluto isnt a planet any more the other planets that have been found and the milkyway and other happenings in space
Ocean: about the animals that live in the ocean not just the animals but the plants that live there

China uses it for bathing, Sweden and the U.S.A. use heat pumps and Turkey and Iceland use it for district heating.

There are three different types of metatypes of eruptions:
Magmatic eruptions: ~ well observed
~ involve the decompression of gas within magma that propels it forward
Pheatomagmatic: ~ driven by the decompression of gas within magma, the direct opposite of the process
powering magmatic activity
Phreatic: ~ driven by the superheating of steam via contact with magma
There are also subtypes of eruptions:
Hawian: ~lava flows from the vent in a relitivly gentle, low level eruption
Submarine: ~ lava erupts over an ocean or sea
Strombolian:~ relitively low leved
~ ejects cinder lapilli and lava bombs at alltitudes of tens to hundreds of meters
Vulcanian: ~ dense cloud of ash
~ "like cannon fire"
Surtseyan: ~ takes place in shallow seas or lakes
~violent
~ caused by risiing basaltic or andesitic magma coming into contact with aboundant shallow
groundwater

One of the most largest earthquake happened in Chile in February 27, 2010. It was an 8.8, the sixth largest earthquake ever recorded. It even triggered a tsunami and blackout and troops were sent to the most effected areas.The epicenter was 3kilometers off the coast of Pellhue comunne in the Maule region according to USGS. The earthquake took place along the boundary between the Nazca and South American tectonic plates where they converged at a rate of 80 millimeters. the segment of the fault zone was estimated to be over700 kilometers. Seismologists estimate that the earthquake was so powerful that it shortened the length of the day by 1.26 microseconds!
