The Earth and Its Seasons. Why Do We Have Days? Day and night are determined by the Earth’s rotation. The light from the Sun is always being emitted.

Seasons. What Causes Seasons? Seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth’s axis as it moves around the sun. Seasons happen because the Earth is tilted.

Earth-Sun Relationships (3.1)

Climate vs. Weather Weather: condition of atmosphere in 1 place during a limited time

Climate vs. weather Climate: weather patterns of an area over a long period of time

The most important factor of climate is Earth’s position in relation to the sun

Earth’s Tilt Axis: imaginary line runs from pole to pole, through center –Tilted at 23 ½ º angle –Places receive diff. amounts of light at diff. times

Earth’s Tilt Areas with direct sunlight  warmer temps. (Tropics, Equator) Areas with indirect sunlight  cooler temps. (High latitudes/ mid-lat)

Earth’s Rotation Earth rotates on its axis –One complete rotation = 24 hours –From west to east, one hemisphere at a time

Earth’s Revolution As it rotates, Earth revolves around the sun (365 days) Tilt + revolution = seasons –Δs in length of days and temp. –Reversed for N & S hemispheres

Equinoxes & Solstices Equinox: Spring and Fall –Equal days and nights Solstice: Summer and Winter –Longer day or shorter day

Equinoxes & Solstices Spring equinox  March 21- rays hit Equator directly…equal day/night Summer solstice  June 22- rays hit Tropic of Cancer…longest day (US)

Equinoxes & Solstices Fall equinox  Sept. 23- rays hit Equator directly…equal day/night Winter solstice  December 22- rays hit Tropic of Capricorn…shortest day (US)

Equinoxes & Solstices So if it is summer in Houston, what season is it in South Africa? If we are wearing long sleeves and jackets, what are they wearing in China? Alaska Summer Solstice Alaska Winter Solstice

The Poles For 6 months one pole is pointed toward sun  constant sunlight Other is pointed away  little to no sunlight “lands of the midnight sun”

The Greenhouse Effect The perfect balance must be kept: –Too much heat escapes  freeze –Too much heat is trapped  dry out

Climate Change: Warming Basic Theory

Climate Change: Cooling/Cyclical

Climate Change: Warming Basic Theory Read pages Be prepared to share key concepts (cause & effect)

Current Events Search Find two articles, one from each side of the global climate change debate –Global Warming vs. Global Cooling –OR Human-caused Climate Change vs. Cyclical Climate Change Staple/Tape RELIABLE articles into spiral. Include citation. Make t-chart of comparison points. Write a ½-1 page reflection on YOUR opinion
