Hello its Robin here. I would like to say that I went to the Galapagos. This   is the first thing I learned about: Darwins thiery of evolushoun. Darwin thout that spesies changed over time There was a struggle of igsistans. papulatoin grows faster then its food. There is natural varyations in babys. Serton varyations are more likely to servive = fitnis. Over time the sevivel of the fitnis changes an animal apirens / body. Now I would like to tell you guys where we went and what we saw. The fist moment I was in the Galapagos I was on an airplane of course but after that we got into our hotel in San Cristobal island and stuff so we wanted to do some stuff. So we went to a beach called Mann beach for some reason. These are the animals we saw: sea lions- marine iguana- worbler bird- and thats all. In the same day we went to a different beach called Corola beach. These   are the animals we saw: sea lions- lava lizards- marine iguana- manta ray- turtles- worbler bird- crabs- and thats all. O

  The Geology of the Galapagos By Sam Beesley The Galapagos islands consist of many different islands formed by volcanoes which were produced by the tectonic plate (nazca plateau) passing over a hot spot in the earth's mantle. A hot spot is when the earth’s crust gets really thin allowing magma from the mantle to rise and form volcanoes. Hawaii was also formed in this way.  The Galapagos islands are slowly moving eastward and diving below the sea when they hit the tectonic plate that formed the Andes mountains.  This means that the eastern islands (San Cristóbal and Española) are roughly five million years older than the western islands (Isabela and Fernandina) Which also means that there have been other islands that are currently either under the sea or in “Liquid hot Magma”. The volcanoes on the Galapagos islands are not constructed like most volcanoes. While most are more cone shaped, the volcanoes on the Galapagos have some of the widest tops in the world.

               “Mom, what is that shining stuff in the water?” Jane asked. “I think it’s the reflection of the moon,” I said. Her eyes were fixed on the black water of the night. Eight of us were tightly packed on the inflated sides of the panga, wearing our ill-fitting life jackets, as we left the shore behind. We headed towards one of the handful of boats with twinkling lights seen in the distance. Jane leaned back and dipped her hand in the water. Iridescent yellow and green flecks of gold trailed in her hand’s wake.  “Jane, sit back up so you don’t fall off the boat.”  “That is not the moon, mom.” She was right. Bioluminescent plankton erupted along the sides of the panga as we zipped through the water. In the twilight sky, the stars multiplied from a few to infinity over the course of the ride, and the moon’s whole face was visible although only a crescent was illuminated. That night on the panga ride, we were put under the night’s spell and seemed to pass through a
