My favorite map projection would have to be the Gnomic Projection probably because the name is super cool, and more importantly, It shows only one hemisphere at a time. I prefer map projections that single out one section of a map at a time. It is easier to work with, and shows how close some land forms in the Northern & Southern Hemisphere are a lot closer than they seem. For example, on a map, Alaska and Russia look far apart. If you look at a Gnomic Projection of the Northern Hemisphere, You can see how close Alaska and Russia truly are. Thousands of years ago, A bridge used to connect the two land formations. As time went on, they slowly separated, and now about 100 miles separates them. On a regular globe, one would probably not be able to interpret this. The Gnomic Map Projection is super interesting, and my pick out of the four different map projections.

The best renewable resource in my opinion is Solar Energy. Solar Energy is used all over the world at schools, houses, and businesses. It is an effective and fairly easy way to “go green.” It has improved over the past years by now including net metering. Net metering is the transportation of unused electricity from the solar panels to the electricity power lines. I think this renewable resource energy is the best because the sun is free, and technology has allowed us to be able to store the solar panel electricity to be used during evening times. It may be expensive, but in the end, it is all worth it. 
Oceanography is definitely the most interesting subject of Earth Science be
cause it integrates the science of chemistry, physics, geology, and biology all into one basic science. With oceanography, you have different habitats to study such as beaches, coral reefs, estuaries, hydrothermal vents, kelp forests, and even sea grass beds. Oceanographers study all aspects of the ocean- the chemisty of its waters, the geology of its seafloor, the physics of its interactions with the atmosphere, and the biology of the organisms. While studying oceanography, the learner gets a better understanding of how the ocean works. The study of the oceans is also linked to understanding global warming and related biosphere concerns. Oceanography is an interesting branch of Earth Science, and in my opinion, the coolest topic of Earth Science.
