Week 9

    In the lab, we did a lot of work with the timeline of our Earth. We discussed when our Earth began, and what came after this time. There were some misconceptions when we were looking at our results from our Google Form when we were initially putting our thoughts into when we thought certain events occurred on the timeline, and there were a lot of mix-ups. We then broke up into groups that related to the timeline and came up with big events that happened between the years we were given. This was very eye opening and helpful when it comes to thinking about the big events that have happened way back in the past compared to our present day. What I found most helpful from the lab was the picture of the Earth's history as a clock.

Personally, I looked over the Monticello area. This specific area had an average of the first five years being 2.4, and the last five years being 3.6. This was intriguing to see and compare to the other five areas of Iowa, because the University of Northern Iowa area was the second highest increase compared to other parts.       My biggest takeaway from the press book reading this week was the Iowa Climate Statement from 2019. “Dangerous Heat Events Will Be More Frequent and Severe” is the quote that is along with the title of this part of the reading. From this being from 2019, it is fascinating to see this quote and what the Iowa Climate Statement had to say because we ha...
