Jupiter Jupiter is the fifth planet of the Solar System. Form leaves from denominated outer or gaseous planets. It receives his name of the Roman God Jupiter (Zeus in Greek mythology). One is the planet that offers a greater brightness throughout the year following its phase. It is, in addition, after the Sun the greater celestial body of the Solar System, with a mass almost twice and average the one of other planets together (318 times heavier than the Earth and 3 times more than Saturn). Jupiter also owns the faster turnover rate of planets of the Solar System: tour on its axis in little less than 10 hours. This turnover rate is deduced from the measures of magnetic field of the planet. The English scientist Robert Hooke observed in 1664 a great meteorological formation that could be the Great Red Spot. Nevertheless they do not seem to exist later information of the observation of such phenomenon until century XX. In any case, it as much varies much of color as of intensity. Jupiter has an extensive magnetosphere formed by a magnetic field of great intensity. The Jupiter magnetic field could see from the Earth occupying a space equivalent to the one of the Full Moon in spite of being much more far. The Jupiter magnetic field is in fact the larger structure in the Solar System The main Jupiter satellites were shortages by Galileo Galilei the 7 of January of 1610, reason for which it is called Galilean satellites sometimes to them.

Machu Picchu Machu Picchu is located 2,400 meters above de sea level.Is situated on a mountain ridge above the URUBAMBA VALLEY in Peru. Machu Picchu is probably the most familiar symbol of the Inca Empire.It is also one of the new seven wonders of the world. Machu Picchu was discovered by Hiram Bingham that was an American historian.Since then, Machu Picchu has become an important turist atracction.Machu Picchu was built in the classical Inca style, with polished dry-stone walls.Its primary building are the INTIHUATANA,THE TEMPLE OF THE SUN,AND THE ROOM OF THE THREE WINDPWS. Architecture: Most of the constructions in Machu Picchu uses the clasical Inca architecture style of polished dry-stone walls of regular shape.The Incas were masters of this technique,called ashar, in wich blocks of

Climate: It is tropical,warm and sunny days and cold nights.It is very rainy between December to March,but it still wonderfull, but you allways have to bring a jaquet or an ambrella, and you will be fine.

Tsunamis A tsunami is a series of waves created when a body of water, such as an ocean, is rapidly displaced. Earthquakes, mass movements above or below water, some volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions, landslides, underwater eathquakes, large asteroids impacts and detonation of nuclear weapons at sea all have the potential to generate a tsunami. Due to the inmense volumes of water and enegy involved, the effects of tsunami can be devastating. Since meteorites are small, they will not generate tsunami. Here are some images media type="custom" key="2807573" The greek historian Thudydides was the first to relate tsunami to submarine quakes, but understanding of the nature of tsunami remained slim until the 20th century and is the subject of ongoing research. many early geological, geographic, oceanographic, etc., texts refer to ¨Seismic sea waves¨- these are now referred to as ¨tsunami¨. Some meteorological storm conditions - deep depressions causing cyclones, hurricanes- can generate a storm surge which can be several metres above normal tides nivel. This is due to the low atmospheric pressure within the centre of the depression. As these storm surges come ashore the surge can resemble a tsunami, inundating vast areas of land. These are not tsunami. Such a storm surge inundated Burma (Myanmar) in May 2008. The term tsunami comes from the japanase meaning harbor(¨tsu¨) and wave (¨nami¨). Tsunami are common throughout japanese history; approximately 195 events in japan have been recorded. Tsunami are sometimes referred to as tidal waves, a term that has fallen out of favor, especially in the scientific community, in recent years because tsunami actually have nothing to do with tides. The once popular term derives from their most common appearance, which is that of an extraordinary high incoming tide. media type="custom" key="2809739" media type="custom" key="2810035" Enrique Rosas  bj!! 6TO A - Prof. Gerardo Lazaro
