1. What 3 factors affect wind? Friction, Coriolis effect, pressure differences 
2. Which of the 3 do you think has the greatest effect? I think friction
 Why? because it makes the wind move slower.
3. What would happen if this factor (from #2) all of a sudden stopped? I think that if friction would stop then the wind would be fast and always stay the same speed because friction makes it slow 

favorite earth science topic


my favorite topic was astronomy. i love astronomy because i have an interest in what the planets are like. i also like astronomy because you get to know what is out side of earth and all the different things that make up our solar system. But my favorite topic in astronomy is studying Venus. I love Venus because it was named after a powerful woman and i love studying about woman who made a impact.
