i hate my science class bc it literally tells me to add the number of protons PLUS neutrons and i did that and apparently escaped to it

Mountains and Faults

A mountain is a geological feature that qualifies at 600m and is classified in four ways:

Volcanic- made of volcanic material, active or inactive.

Folded – made when plates collide and the sediments and continent edge fold parallel next to each other.

Block – where moving plates cause pressure on faults and the blocks of crust there tip over.

Dome – when magma pushes on the surface and creates a dome-like feature.

A fault is where tectonic plates meet, and the theory of plate tectonics and subsequently the existence of mountains is supported by this discovery. Faults are classified by angle and consequential bending of the crust around it when it moves.

Natural faults are made when the two blocks of crust move away from each other, and the dominant one is above the subordinate one.

Reverse faults are made when the subordinate block of crust is thrust upward and creates a cliff.

Lateral faults are made when the crust move sideways alongside the fault.

Any movement along fault lines and or the tectonic plates will result in an earthquake. On the Richter Scale, a scale devised by Charles Richter to measure strength of earthquake, an earthquake is not felt if it scores at or below 2.5. Anything above that is detectable by humans.

Keep safe by avoiding unsafe structures, phone lines, and moving traffic.

Another lesson from a science book.

WOW SO I JUST READ A SCIENCE POST ABOUT HOW THEY CAN'T WAIT TO DO PCR FOR THE FIRST TIME

wow pcr

wow you can't wait?

yeah I can't wait for it to end. it's a damn slow chain reaction.

dna replicates so fucking slow its unbelievable, and you use this 'ultra fast' catalyst which still means you're gonna be there at least 4 hours.

so have fun with that.

CSI

I'm not interested in studying for a science test today! Science is dumb! Crime scene investigation is dumb. Mostly what I've learned in this course so far is: I have a fingerprint that is more detectable then most. I need to wear cloth gloves if I commit a crime. I would need to buy new shoes if I commit a crime. Hope that everyone is an idiot and breaks the chain of custody. Mostly I'm learning how to commit the perfect crime. This will either help to rob a bank, or to write a story about robbing a bank. Yawn! I'm too lazy to plot it out, I'll just write about it.
