3200 year old tree project

Recount

This is my recount of how they captured the image of the sequoia tree.They had to walk deep into the sequoia national park were the “president” stands. The lifted the huge camera into the air with pulleys and ropes. People had to climb up the tree to measure how far out the camera would go. They had to take hundreds of photos so the camera went side to side and up and down. They had to put all the photos together to make one huge photo of the tree!

Summary

Wow this amazing tree called the “president” he is a Giant sequoias. He has been estimated to be 3200 years old.  He measures 247 ft in length, 45,000 cubic feet on volume, 27 ft high and wide and has over 2 billion needles. He also adds 1 cubic meter of wood a year! Make him one of the fastest growing trees in the world. A Giant sequoias can only be found on the western slope of the Sierra Nevadas in California.That’s 5000-8000 ft above sea level! Until now the tree had never had its photo taken. And they had to take lots of different photos and put them together to make this.

sea vent summary

Kiwi Kids News - news that is out of this world

A group of UK Scientists have found the deepest ever group of sea vents.

The vents, which are like underwater chimneys, spurt out dark water at the bottom of the Caribbean Sea. Officially they are called Hydrothermal Vents and people didn’t know they existed until 40 years ago.

But dont think you will be able to see these vents as they are located around 5km below the water surface!

The vents were discovered using a state of art ship that monitors the ocean bed using a special submarine.

The ship, named after famous explorer James Cook, contains the very latest technology that allows scientists to study further down than ever before.

And one of the most amazing discoveries has been of the 10 metre high chimneys that spill out warm water.

So far, around the world, around 200 groups of vents have been found. These ones in the Caribbean are the deepest.
