Blog 10 for The American Museum of Natural History

On May 20, I went to AMNH and my group member were Mario, Saquaya, Justin Mara and me. AMNH has four floors and Cullman Hall of Universe Warburg Hall of New York State Environment, Spitzer Hall of Human Origins, Guggenheim Hall of Minerals, Morgan Memorial Hall of Gems, Milstein Hall of Ocean Life, North American Forests Hall of Biodiversity, Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Hall, Gottesman Hall of Planet Earth, Stout Hall of Asian Peoples, Akeley Hall of African Mammals Margaret Mead Hall of Pacific Peoples, Sanford Hall of North American Birds, Akeley hall of African Mammals, and Milstein hall of Advanced Mammals. We learned two halls: one is Gottesman Hall of planet Earth and Milstein Hall of Ocean Life.
Although I took the photos of the information plates with my cell phone to post on my blog, I could not post these to my blog because I don’t know how to connect to computer. But I noted the some of them. According to information board, there are four corners which are Universe, Galaxies, Star, and Planet; “Green house effect is that visible sunlight heats planet surface, which reradiates the energy as infrared light. Certain atmospheric gases absorb and trap much of this infrared energy, raising the temperature at the surface, temperature increase until the energy escaping the atmosphere balance the energy received from the Sun. This atmospheric heating is known the Greenhouse effect.” And also, we learned about that “Earth cycles: cycle of a living planet; the earth in a dynamic planet. Geological and biological processes cause energy and the elements necessary for life carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and phosphorus…”
We also learned about global warming issue in the Earth and space center. Accord to information boards, “Green house gases: A troposphere Story that solar radiation warm the earth’s surface. Some of the heat is radiated back to the atmosphere, where it is trapped by green house gases. The most important greenhouse gas is water vapor. Without it, the earth’s average temperature is warm enough to support life over most of its surface.” Global warming is that “The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increases due to the extensive burning of fossil fuels, which started with the industrial revolution around 1850. Since then, global temperature has also increased because carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas scientists believe it is partly responsible for this warming.”
I was interested in the various kinds of sea animal such as shell, gold fish, jaw, tuner, in the Milstein Hall of Ocean Life. There were two floors in the dark. On the basement, there are wide hall and Big Television. It had being shown the behavior of Walfs fish.In the middle of hall, there was a giant dolphin.
According to Google search, Milstein Hall of Ocean Life look like as following pictures.






I understand that ocean world is part of the earth and origins of our human beings. At the same time water makes the animals’ lives and it is very important for lives.I impressed about between ocean and animal of relationship.
