If you have a question that is simple and easy to answer, post them here. If you would like to answer these questions, go ahead. Just make sure you explain the answers and what steps you went through to get them. Please do not just post the answer and be done with it. We are here to learn, and to help each other.

If you have a complicated question that will take some time to answer, check the "Thread Index" to make sure it hasn't been answered already. If it hasn't then create a new thread and ask it there. The Subject should be a brief summary of the question, or the topic your asking about. Then explain what you are having trouble with and we will try to answer them as soon as we can.

If you have any questions revolving around where you should ask your Earth Science related questions, PM me.

Having trouble with Earth Science? Want to be a "Down to Earth" person? Well you found the right place!

Before you start asking questions, though, I ask you to read these rules and understand them before posting. These rules must be followed at all times.

~Follow All Site Rules

~No Spamming: This is the Earth Science thread. If you have a question about Geology, Oceanography, Astronomy, Meteorology, etc. You ask here. If your question doesn't pertain to Earth Science find a thread that is more appropriate. Another form of Spamming is posting nonsense words or sentences that serve no purpose. For example if you want to say: "I just ate a cookie. And it was yummy." or "Why is the sad cebu sad?" Those type of questions are considered spam and will be closed right away.

~Be Patient: I know that when you have a question you are eager to get it answered, but sometimes we can't get to it right away. Please be patient with us. There might come a time when your question will go unanswered for a period of time. This doesn't mean that we are ignoring you. We all have lives outside of the internet.

~Be Polite: If you disagree with something another student says or you want to correct someone on a question, please try your best to be polite. We are all friends here, and we want to be courteous to each other. Before you say something that might hurt another person's feelings, think about how the other person will take it first.

~We Are All Students Here: There might be a question that we won't understand or know the answer to. It happens. This is a Student to Student forum, and we are just learning things ourselves. If we don't know the answer to the question we will certainly tell you, and help figure out the answer. That way we all learn.

~Do not post "Answer only" replies: If you want to help another student and know the answer to his/her question, that is fantastic. Just keep in mind we are trying to help people understand Earth Science. Please don't post answers to questions without explaining them. Explain the steps you went through to get that answer, and how you understand it.

~No plagiarizing: If you "google" an answer to a question, make sure you cite where you get your answer from. Plagiarizing is serious business and will not be taken lightly.

~Always check the Thread Index before posting: If your question has already been answered the link will go in the Thread Index. Please do not make duplicate threads.

Lastly, have fun learning! Learning doesn't always have to be a chore, and besides popular belief, science can be fun! If you have any questions feel free to PM me. C:

This is our Earth Science Thread Index. Here you will find a link to every thread. I would advise you to use this as a reference. If you have a question and it has already been answered, check this thread before you create a new one. Please do not make duplicate threads. If you do, your thread will be closed immediately.

Hello Everyone!

My name is Kiki, and I'm a Sophmore in Highschool. I am currently taking two advanced science courses this year: Anatomy and Honors Chemistry. Yeah I am that crazy. I play five instruments: Piano, Piccolo, Flute, Bassoon, and I sing. Music has always been my passion, along with writing and sciences. I am the mod of Earth Science here on S2SHH, because Geology ROCKS.

When I "Grow up" (Funny saying that now.) I want to be a neurologist. A neurologist is a doctor who specializes in the nervous system and diseases evolving the brain. I have always been fascinated by the human brain and I would love to study it in-depth. Eventually I would want to write books about the human brain to farther my personal study and also to educate those who are interested as well.

I am extremely bubbly and a happy-go-lucky person. This will show over time, trust me. Even though I have a strange obsession over Edgar Allen Poe. I am a proud Nerdfighter (DFTBA), and Monty Python nerd and I will always remain obsessed with Harry Potter. (And I do realize this paragraph had nothing to do with school. C:)

If you ever have a question feel free to PM me. I will not bite, but Darla does. "I am a piranha. I live in the amazon!" (Finding Nemo) But seriously, feel free to PM at any time.
