After the quiz is complete, continue with the review powerpoint

4. Heat Transfer through Earth
1. Radiation: electromagnetic radiation generated by the thermal motion of charged particles in matter.
Ex. UV Rays
Microwaves
MRI
Lightbulbs

5. Heat Transfer through Earth
2. Convection: fluid by the tendency of hotter and less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which results in transfer of heat.
Ex. Boiling Water
Movement of material in the mantle
Rising of hot air sinking of cool air caused by heating or cooling unit

6. Heat and Energy Transfer
Conduction: process by which heat energy is transmitted through collisions between neighboring molecules.
Ex. Handle gets hot from heating pan
energy is transferred from the earth's atmosphere to the air

8. Energy Provided from the Sun
The sun's energy is the primary source of energy for all surface phenomena and life on Earth
Sun’s energy  Earth’s climate

9. Factors contributing to Climate and Weather
Air masses
Air fronts
Ocean Currents: Coriolis Effect
Trade winds
Temperature

10. Air Masses
Continental
Polar
Marine
Tropical

11. Air Fronts Draw diagrams in notes Cold front: Cold air takes over warm
Aggressive stormy weather
Warm front: Warm air takes over cold
Clouds and eventually precipitation

12. Ocean Currents Contribute to Weather and Climate
Ocean current is a continuous, directed movement of seawater generated by forces acting upon this mean flow, such as breaking waves, wind, the Coriolis effect, temperature and salinity differences
Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon.

14. Earth’s Crustal Plates
Crustal plates form the outer layer of the Earth.
There are seven major plates and many smaller plates.
These tectonic plates are formed from the Earth's crust and uppermost part of the mantle.

15. Earth’s Crustal Plates
There are two types of tectonic plates.
Continental plates are made primarily of granitic rocks and are much thicker and older.
Oceanic plates are thinner and younger.
Together these plates form the lithosphere.

16. Plate Movement
Tectonic plates move around the Earth at different speeds caused by heat and movement inside the Earth
Scientists monitor plate speed movement using Global Positioning System (GPS) that uses space based satellites to track their movement.

17. Types of Plate Boundaries
Copy pictures into study guide notes

18. Plate Boundaries and their Creations
Convergent: Deep ocean trenches, Mountains, earthquakes, volcanoes
Divergent: Valleys, new continental crust, volcanoes
Transform: Faults
