by Today we observed the sediment samples through a magnification lense. The sediments were filtered out by a sieve which filters out any material that is less than 63 microns. The leftover sediments that were less than 63 microns were made up of pyrite, quartz, and some clay. We also analyzed the geography of the ocean floor using data in a computer. All the students took turns to edit the data, as the data needs to be accurate on showing the geography of the depth in the ocean. It was a terrific day, filled with useful scientific information on the importance of marine geography.
