Trees can tell us is what the world was like in the past. The rings inside a tree can show us how much it grew each year. In wet years, the tree will grow a thick ring, and in dry years, it will grow a small ring. People can study tree rings to see how hot and cold the world has been and how it has changed over time. This is important because it helps us understand how the world is changing now and how it may change.

Ekman spiral continued....
The deeper water does not feel the wind, but it does feel the water above moving. So the same thing happens again, except this time the water goes in a direction even further from that of the wind, and so on, turning as we go deeper. At each step, we lose a bit of force, so we have less and less as we go down.

When there is wind over water, the water's direction is normal to that of the wind. Whether it goes left or right is decided by the side of the mother ball we are on. Since the mother ball turns, the water closest to the middle goes the fastest. So when wind carries water further away from the middle, the water keeps its force, and that's why it doesn't move in the same direction as the wind. Continued....

Did you know that floors can move and dance? You can see it if you give it a chance. There are three ways the floor can move. The first is when two floors move close together. The second way the floor can move is when one floor is moving left and the other floor is moving right. This little dance can make points with hot red coming out. The final move a floor can do is rub close and shake, making a little dance for me, and you! [C.M.]

I asked my students to explain an Earth System Science concept using only the ten hundred most common English words. Inspired by a toot by Andy @revkin and enabled by Theo Sanderson's online editor: splasho.com/upgoer5/
There were some amazingly creative creations!
