Science: Gods of Natural Disasters

 - Research a myth/legend/god(dess) that was used to explain a natural disaster/event.

= Ho-musubi

What is his story?

= Ho-musubi also known as Kagu-tsuchi or Hi-no kami in the Shinto religion of Japan, known as a God of Fire. his mother Izanami the female creator was fatally burned when giving birth to him; and his father Izanagi cut him into pieces creating serval new gods. 

During the hi-matsuri known as Fire festivals which is held a the beginning of the new year, worshippers carry back to their home hearths torches lit from the new fire started by the temple priest

What had the people observed and used to explain what was happening?

The fire god is revered as a purificatory agent as much as out of fear for his destructiveness. all fire-related events are caused by his destructiveness.

How does this match up to what is actually happening? connect to the scientific explanation.

=  such a destructive force as a fire in a culture where buildings were typically made out of wood and paper resulted in Kagutsuchi becoming an important object of Shinto rutial and a frequent receiver appeasing offerings. Don't leave fire around wood or paper unwatched it will catch on fire.

An Inspector Calls

What were the major events between 1910-1920?

= First Auto Electric Start, The First Electric Self Start was installed in a Cadillac By GM. Up until this time, all cars needed to be started by cranking a starting handle which was hard work and caused multiple minor injuries when the car backfired during the starting process.

Madame Butterfly, Puccini's opera 'Madame Butterfly' which tells the story of an American sailor, B.F. Pinkerton, who marries and abandons a young Japanese geisha, Cio-Cio-San, or Madame Butterfly had its world premiere at La Scala in Milan, Italy.

Sinking of the Titanic, The Titanic sets sail on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York. The Titanic had been described as the world's most luxurious floating hotel which is unsinkable, and was only 5 days out when she hit an iceberg and sank in the Atlantic with the loss of many lives. The Titanic was built in Belfast (between 1909 and 1911) and registered in Liverpool in 1912. Liverpool was the home port, although she never entered it. 

Who was J.B. priestly, and what did he do in his life?

= Priestley was a prolific and industrious writer at the time. He published 39 plays and 26 novels as well as volumes of essays and criticism and continued to write into his old age. He died on 14 August 1984. Further information about the life of J P Priestley can be found via the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.

What are the symbols and motifs in narratives?

= If something is mentioned once to allude to something else, it's called a symbol. If something is mentioned several times throughout a story, it's a motif. Think of symbols as baby motifs. They only grow up to become motifs if they're repeated throughout the course of a narrative.

What was life like in England in the 1910s?

DTE: The Celiac & Gluten solution

 In DTE, I have changed from the sphere coding project and joined with Emily Helping out with her project. we have been tasked by our mentor with many things. This is a concept for when you load up the app that I had come up with whilst my team member was absent. With the advice and notes, I had taken down from the mentor helping us out in this project. I hadn't gotten that far and hadn't followed all her notes accurately so not at the best it could be. 

P.E Gymnastics

 In P.E we did gymnastics, our task was to learn something new, or something you have mastered I did walking across the beam, I have kind of improved or the opposite I suppose. we were to take either take of video or a picture of our effort and to post it to our blogs as proof we have done so.

Science: Hazard Research - Volcanoes

Volcanoes created more than 80 percent of the earth's surface, laying that foundation that allowed life to thrive. their explosives forces crafted mountains as well as craters. lava rivers into the bleak landscapes of earth. but as time flies by, the elements break down these volcanic rocks, liberating nutrients from their stone prisons and creating fascinating fertile soils that had allowed civilization to burst into existence. volcanoes are located everywhere, even in the Antarctic one of the coldest places on earth. some of the 1,500 volcanoes are still considered potentially active around the whole world today.

Most of the majority of the volcanoes in the world form along the boundaries of the planet's tectonic plates. tectonic plates are massive expanses of earth lithosphere which constantly shifts, as the plates bump into each other. when the tectonic plates collide, one often sinks deep below which is also known as the subduction zone. magma is formed by the descending landmass sinking while the pressure and temperatures climb, releasing water from rocks. The water slightly reduces the melting point of the overlying rocks, this forms magma. As magma climbs its way to the surface, the spark of life to reawaken a slumbering volcano.

The are two types of volcanoes are split into different groups, by eruption type and their volcanic shape.  there are there basic cone shapes. Cinder cones, shield cones, and composite also know as stratovolcanoes
