I asked a science teacher and she told me some really cool stuff about what the giant's causeway is made of...maybe you should ask one too! Julia S.

ReplyDeleteLOOKS LIKE SOME OF YOU HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH...WE NOW KNOW THAT THE STONES ARE FORMED FROM LAVA FLOWS AND THAT THEY ARE MADE OF BASALT. THE LOCATION IS ANTRIM COUNTY IN NORTHEAST IRELAND...WHAT ELSE CAN YOU FIND OUT? FACTS LIKE THESE EARNED DARREN AND ISABELLA 20 POINTS EACH. I LIKE THE OBSERVATIONS AND SPECULATIONS THAT SOME OF YOU POSTED...5 POINTS FOR EACH OF YOU! MRS. PHILLIPS WOULD BE THRILLED TO TO SEE THAT SABRINA USED THE WORD "PERSPECTIVE" TO DESCRIBE PHOTOGRAPH...THAT IS TOTALLY TRUE...STUFF UP CLOSE LOOKS LARGE AND STUFF IN THE DISTANCE LOOKS SMALL...10 POINTS, SABRINA...YIPEE!!! :^)MISS S.
ReplyDeleteI researched on that and it said that the reason for that "Natural Wonder" is, an acient volcano erupted and caused the rocks to look like hexagons. Megan C. :P :D
ReplyDeleteMost of the stones are hexagon and they were formed by a lava flow. Mac D
ReplyDeleteThey r like stairs & its caused by lava flowing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [___(Crayola)___> M!C@h E.
ReplyDeleteMost people say it happened from noahs flood(: some people say it happened from Huge volcanic eruptions.(: Ally M.
ReplyDeletedid u no it was formed 62-65 million years ago and is very hot and humid and ouflows as is evident in the deep inerbasalticlayer of red and brown which isrich in clay.Lisa R.:p
ReplyDeleteGaint's Causeway is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcanic eruption. almost pf the shapes are hexagonal. :-P

Gaint's Causeway was made by a gaint colcanic eruption. Almost all of the shapes are hexagonal. :-P
ReplyDelete<3<3 Haley A.
It is a teleselation.

MR.PETERSON
as lava flowed through the stone it formed a plateau then as the lava cooled,contraction occurred and caused the stones in shapes of hexagons.Maria G.
ReplyDeleteThe Giants Cause Way is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns the result of an ancient volcanic eruption it is located in county Anthrim on the northeast coast of northern ireland about 2 miles north of the town Bushmills.... Emily B.
ReplyDeleteMost peaple say that it whas made by a lava flow
ReplyDeleteAdrian .A
hey it is melanie.m and what people say is that giant causeway erupted and the lava went through the rocks and made it look that way

ReplyDeleteI LOVE MATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove,

Hola this is Mariela the rock shape like that because the lava hit the rock so that what happen the shape is pentagon
ReplyDeleteHI MR.PETERSON THIS IS MICHAEL.A IT SAID ONLINE THAT LAVA MADE THOSE SHAPES FORM.
ReplyDeleteshalora.c. i am finally posting i think it got there ,because an huge earthquake came and knocked it over and it also looks like
ReplyDeletehexagonal rocks which also brings me to a
conclusion that the hexagons have 6 sides and
6 angles thanks mrs. Sloan!!!!!!!
this is really cool.
ReplyDeletemS.s i am not much of a a science person
