1
Warm up What’s in the flask? Put on your magic glasses and draw what you see!
2
Energizer How is π useful/important in Earth Science? Create a list with your table.
3
What does this diagram tell you?
4
Properties of air Air moves (can push up or down or all around!) Air has volume
5
What makes up the atmosphere? Has it always been this way?
6
Evolution of the Atmosphere 1.Solar System forming – H throughout 2.Earth forms – Fusion starts in Sun, lose some light gasses during the explosions, also low gravity, low density stuff floats away
7
Evolution of Atmosphere Planet crust solidifies, volcanoes begin erupting – spew gasses CO 2, H 2 O (gas), N, etc …, too hot for liquid water 92% CO 2, - very warm, volcanic activity needs to slow for atmosphere to cool enough for H 2 O (gas) to condense to form clouds, rain, oceans etc …
8
Evolution of Atmosphere 3.8 bya – blue green algae evolves PHOTOSYNTHESIS O 2 produced, not enough to affect the atmosphere for a long time, first reacts to form new minerals Eventually affects atmosphere, removing CO 2 and increases the O 2 Begin forming the ozone layer
9
How does the Earth's atmosphere compare to that of other similar planets?
10
Greenhouse Gasses CO 2 (Carbon Dioxide) and CH 4 (Methane) even H 2 0 These gases absorb heat (blanket), release it slowly into space Greenhouse Effect - Greenhouse Effect -
11
Describe what's happening? Explain what the molecules are doing?
12
Comparing Atmospheres
13
What's in this tree?
14
How does the plant get the food?
15
Plant Food? Organisms, including plants, need food to survive. Which of these things do plants use as “food”? Sunlightwater Miracle growleaves Sugaroxygen Carbon dioxidechlorophyll Soilvitamins
17
Carbon Cylce
18
Geologic Carbon Cycle
20
What does the work of George Washington Carver have to do with last night’s homework?
22
Warm up How does the atmosphere change as you move away from the Earth’s surface?
24
What happened in each layer? Troposphere – gets colder, airplanes, more O2, us, weather, living things Stratosphere – spy planes, ozone, weather balloons Mesosphere – meteors burn up, Thermosphere – ionosphere, aurora, magnetosphere
25
How does energy move through the atmosphere
26
Energizer How does energy get from the sun to the Earth?
27
Energy transfer Radiation Convection Conduction Insolation – incoming solar radiation Absorption – energy absorbed Reflection – bouncing off
28
Energy Transfer Conduction – particle to particle Convection – density differences Radiation – “just floats”
29
How does cold air differ from hot air? Cold air denser Hot air – less dense, molecules further apart, more Kinetic energy – molecules are moving faster Conduction convection radiation
30
Insolation What is it? How does it vary?
31
Insolation
32
Color & Texture affect whether energy is absorbed or reflected Absorption – black, dark, dull or bumpy surfaces Reflection – white, light, shiny surfaces
33
Yearly variations

36
Energizer Summarize lab findings How does this relate to the “real world”?
37
Earth’s surfaces Water Land Soil – Sand Snow – forest
38
Albedo Percent reflecting
39
Π Wrap Up What did you notice from your calculations?
40
What are the major points of this chapter?
41
What's the difference between infrared, ultraviolet and visible wave lengths?
42
Predict how each atmospheric gas behaves with visible and infrared rays?
43
What's the difference between the Greenhouse Effect and the hole in the Ozone Layer
44
Stratosphere Ozone layer Ozone molecule, O3, absorbs UV With less O3 more skin cancer, Less plankton food chain disrupted
45
Green House Effect
46
Predict what will happen in each balloon?
47
How does this relate to heat transfer in the atmosphere?
48
Human behavior So..... what does each of these effect? Smog CO 2 CFC’S Replanting a forest
49
Friday's Test!!!! Multiple choice Open response
