Scientific Method
Atmosphere Trosphere Stratosphere --- ozone Mesophere Thermosphere
Earth’s Sphere Hydrosphere --- water on earth Litosphere --- crust and rocks Atmosphere --- gases above earth All life is from the top of the litospher to the bottom stratosphere
Earth’s Regoions
Heat Transfer Conduction - touching Convections – winds and currents Radiation- electromatic waves Energy is from the sun Heat (hot air) rises
Water Cycle Evaporation Condensation Perception Runoff Transpiration Dew– at time of condensation
Winds Winds are caused by uneven heating of the Earth’s surface by energy from the sun Oceans heat slower --- give off heat slower Winds from the ocean are called ocean winds and cool during the day and warm at night
Tools Rain gauge – measures rain fall Hygrometer – measure humidity Barometer – measures air pressure
Weather What causes floods? High precipitation High runoff
Hurricanes are over water, formed when air moves to the center and rises. Tornados form over land
Greenhouse Caused by man made pollution Transportation/cars The pollution causes the heat to be traped and heats the Earth, polar ice will melt, seas will rise. What can we do??? Plant trees? Stop pollution
