Earth Science Review Book Pages Topics: Atmospheric Cycle Heat Transfer Global Awareness Causes of Weather Predicting Weather

1) Use the information about the atmosphere and its composition for the following bullets. Draw a table at the top of the page with a circle on the right side. Write the main gases in the Earth’s atmosphere on one side of the table and on the other write the percentage that it is present. Based on the transferred percentage, fill in the circle with the composition of the atmosphere measurements. Below the chart, draw a diagram of the atmosphere. Include: Troposphere Height of the layer Air Pressure Temperature Characteristics Unique Characteristic Stratosphere Mesosphere Thermosphere Height of the layer Air Pressure Temperature Characteristics Unique Characteristic Exosphere

2) Write AND answer the following questions, complete the illustration of what the greenhouse effect looks, and complete the fill in the blank passage. What is the greenhouse effect? What are the greenhouse gases? Illustration of how the greenhouse effect looks   Describe the illustration (pg. 32) Illustration of how the greenhouse effect looks

3) Get a copy of the fill in the blank passage comparing Global Warming to the Greenhouse Effect:

4) Draw a map of the global winds on Earth and include: The longitude degree of the different winds. The names of the winds A description of the winds (Please use the chart on page 39) Arrows showing the wind’s direction Write out what the Coriolis Effect is and the impacts the Coriolis effect has on wind direction.

5) Complete the concept map describing the source of pollution. Sources of Pollution Types of Pollution   5) Complete the concept map describing the source of pollution.

6) Write down the following questions and answer them in your booklet. What is AQI? What does AQI stand for? What does AQI measure? How do we use it? Draw and complete the following chart that shows the connection between global winds and pollution. Make sure to write the questions AND answers in the boxes. What are global winds? How are they connected? What is pollution?

7) Draw and complete the air mass concept map 7) Draw and complete the air mass concept map. This is located in your ISN.

8) Get a copy of the Air Masses/Source Region map 8) Get a copy of the Air Masses/Source Region map. Label each air mass and the source region that it affects. Once you are finished, draw and complete the classification of air masses chart. Air Mass Form over land or water? Is the mass dry or wet? Form in cold or warm region? Is the mass warm or cold? Continental Polar   Maritime Polar Maritime Tropical Continental Tropical

9) Complete a diagram/drawing of the water cycle. Make sure to include the following words: Runoff Surface Water Transpiration Condensation Evaporation Precipitation The diagram should have: A picture of each stage The vocabulary word Arrows showing the cycle’s path

10) Draw and label the air pressure system diagram 10) Draw and label the air pressure system diagram. Under it, describe what is happening in in the illustration as well as characteristics of each pressure system (air direction, temperature, weather association).  

11) Draw and complete the front table below. Name Weather Symbol Describe the Front Formation Weather Diagram Cold Front   Warm Front Stationary Front Occluded Front

12) Get a copy of the map. Create your own weather map based on the instructions. Once you are finished, write the question AND answers on the space below it. Where would we expect to find clear or clouds? Where would you expect to find a storm? What happens to the air masses at the cold front?

It contains a high concentration of gas particles 13. Get a copy of the EOG questions and test your knowledge of the Earth systems, structures, and functions. Why does the troposphere experience the greatest amount of atmospheric pressure compared to the other atmospheric layers? It contains a high concentration of gas particles It has the highest temperatures It is the region in which weather occurs  produces the ozone layer   How would you describe the spacing of air particles as you increase in altitude in the atmosphere? The air particles are closer packed/spaced at the Earth’s surface and become less close as you increase in altitude. The air particles are evenly spaced throughout the atmosphere The air particles become closer spaced as you go away from Earth’s surface Which explains why most of the rain that falls comes from the ocean? A The majority of evaporation takes place over the ocean. B The majority of precipitation takes place over the ocean. C Most rivers deposit freshwater into the ocean. D Most clouds form near or over the ocean. Barometric pressure has been dropping all day. What weather conditions will most likely occur? A sunny weather B stormy weather C calm weather D hot weather A sea breeze blows from the ocean toward the shore. Why does this occur? A High pressure over the land causes a downdraft to occur. B The tide carries the wind to the shore as it moves back and forth. C Conduction of heat from the warm water produces wind from the ocean. D Air over land heats faster than air over water, which causes convection. Doppler radar shows a vertical rotating column of air with high wind speeds. Which is most likely occurring? A the formation of a hurricane B the formation of a tornado C approaching warm front D approaching snowstorm
