Ellie_Penguin Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 DOOM: He was believed to have written "Salve Regina" not "Ave Regina." But very close. I'll change the bonus because, I think the question is not very clear. But, because you tried you will get the same prize as the bonus winner so you don't have to answer this bonus. Bonus Question: Explain this Symbol (this bonus question replaces the last bonus). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeptroid Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Trivia: Large Chameleons have been known to feast upon different types of birds and even other lizards. Meeptroid: The Chameleon's main predator appears to be snakes. Strategos: Chameleons are zygodactyl. It is an arrangement of toes in a very odd way to us humans. The Evil Guy: Chameleons' eyes can swivel to focus on two separate targets simultaneously, as well as giving the chameleon a 360 degree field of vision. Meeptroid: A few chameleons are ovoviviparous, meaning that they hold the eggs inside their body until they are about to hatch. Strategos: Chameleons can not turn every color, despite popular belief. They can only turn green, blue, turquoise, black, and brown. Meeptroid: Running water is the preferred way Chameleons drink. Still water doesn't attract them much. Adult Chameleons usually tend not to eat flies. The Evil Guy: Fully grown chameleons of different species range in size from 2.5 to 80 centimeters long. Meeptroid: A Chameleon's tongue can shoot out of its mouth at a little more than 13 miles per hour. The Evil Guy: The name 'chameleon' is derived from Greek words meaning 'ground lion' Meeptroid: Large Chameleons have been known to feast upon different types of birds and even other lizards.

Izzy ♥ Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Generally, you will first need a "field guide" which you can use to compare the minerals you are trying to identify with pictures and general features of the different minerals. Common minerals are usually identified by an inspection of their physical properties: colour, streak, transparency, luster, hardness, cleavage, fracture, specific gravity, and crystal form. Colour Some minerals can be identified by colour, especially if they aren't ever any other colour - like malachite, which is always green. Colour should never be used as the sole judge of a mineral's identity however, as sometimes chemical impurities can change the colour but not the basic make-up. Streak A mineral's "streak" is found when it is rubbed over a white porcelain tile (called a streak plate). It leaves a line of powder which is always the same colour, no matter if there are impurities in your sample. Transparency This is how much you can see through a sample of your mineral and has three degrees: transparent (see through), translucent (light goes through, but you can't see objects) and opaque (you can't see anything). Luster Luster, or the way light is reflected off a sample of your mineral, is observed on cut or freshly broken samples. The two main types are metallic and non-metallic. Hardness Judged on a scale established by Friedrich Mohs, a German mineralogist, hardness is meaused by scratching your sample with other objects of known hardness to then working out your sample's hardness. Cleavage Minerals that break along flat surfaces can be identified using cleavage. The number of cleavage areas there are can help identify what the mineral is. Fracture You can also identify by fracture, which is the mineral breaking without any cleavage. There can be a curved break called conchoidal, jagged breaks with sharp points, splintery breaks, and uneven breaks which appear as a rough surface. Specific Gravity This is how much more the mineral weighs compared to an equal amount of water. An example is silver, it weighs ten times that of water. Crystal Form Crystal form takes much time and space to happen. There are many categories of crystal form. Some examples are blebs, which look like round blobs, cubic which are square, massive is no crystal shape, rose shaped appears to look like a rose or flower, and geode which is a sphere shape. EDIT: I'll pick 12 this time - thanks Ellie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myriad Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Trivia: Like many other reptiles, chameleons also shed their skin. A chameleons skin will not grow when the chameleon does, so they will shed it when it gets too tight. The shed skin is also a good source of protien, so often a chameleon will eat its old skin. o_O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Challenge: Since I feel all dinosaur-ish. I want you guys to make a Dinosaur Wallpaper Presentation. How to: Use any media (i.e. photoshop, MS Paint, paper, cardboard, etc). It doesn't matter what you use! I will be judging on creativity and research. This is what must be included in the wallpaper, and by "wallpaper" I mean a poster XD. 1) Pick your favorite dinosaur era. Explain it. 2) Pick your favorite dinosaur from that era. Explain its characteristics and anything you want! 3) Provide a few images or draw some yourself! You don't have to be an excellent artist, as long as you show what you have learned! Submission Guide: Just save or scan your file and post it on here! It doesn't have to be a heavy file, just as long as I'm able to read it XD. Deadline: You have until Sunday, January 27th to submit. Winner will be announced on Monday. Judging: After your entry has gone through my judging, I will be making a poll and I will let people decide who wins! They will have all Sunday to do the voting. Even Monday before I post the next question XD. *REMEMBER* DO NOT make this a priority over your own homework. Like I said, you won't be judging much on quality. You can even write the entry on pencil, and you will have a chance to win! As long as I see you have done enough research XD. And you don't have to find unknown trivias or anything. *HINT* You can start by writing about whether your dinosaur was herbivore or a carnivore!
