The purpose of this blog is to have fun learning about Earth Science and Geology. From moon phases to the rock cycle if it's on the NYS Earth Science Regents I'll blog about it because geology rocks! So let's look at some gneiss (nice haha) rocks together! P.S. Geologists love puns so there will be lots of them!

28,000 Rubber Ducks Lost at Sea
In 1992 a Cargo Shipping container filled with 28,000 rubber ducks fell into the ocean. These little rubber ducks started popping up in different oceans all of the world and still are today! Learn more here! These ducks actually taught us about the ocean currents which are listed on page 4 of your Earth Science Reference Table. See if you can track the route the ducks took using page 4 of your Earth Science Reference Table. What do you think about all the plastic floating around in the ocean with the ducks? How can we solve this pollution problem?
