How does a convection cell occur?

  • Hot magma in the asthenosphere begins to rise, similar to the way hot air rises.

  • As it rises to the top of the asthenosphere, it cools and becomes more dense.

  • This cooler, dense magma then sinks again. As it sinks, it gets warmer, until the process begins again

  • This movement of magma is what drives the plates to move.

Direct vs. Indirect Light

  • The way light travel and how it hits the surface of our planet impacts the seasons.

  • LIght travels in straight lines and it is more radiant and its effects stronger when the line hits a surface in a straight angle.

  • Also, the effects of the radiation from the sunlight diminish when it hits the surface in an angle.

0.40 is the largest number (0.40 is like fourty cents compared to 0.08 which would be eight cents.), so the TROPOSPHERE has the most water vapor.

media

117

Physical Geography

Physical geography is the study of the earth, the parts of the earth, and how they interact with each other.

For example:

Landforms-mountains, valleys, hills, oceans

Weather-thunderstorms, hurricanes, droughts

Climates


118

Multiple Choice

Which layer of the atmosphere has the most water vapor?

1

Thermosphere

2

Mesosphere

3

Stratosphere

4

Troposphere

119

Seasons: How does the Earth-Sun System affect seasons?

  • The distance between Earth and the sun stays relatively constant throughout the Earth’s orbit. 

  • Solar energy travels in a straight line from the sun and hits different parts of the curved Earth at different angles — more directly at the equator and less directly at the poles. 

  • The Earth’s rotation axis is tilted with respect to its orbital plane around the sun. Earth maintains the same relative orientation in space, with its North Pole pointed toward the North Star throughout its orbit.

120

0.002 is the smallest number, so the Thermosphere has the lowest air pressure.

Human Geography

Human geography is how human activity affects or is influenced by the earth.

Examples:

Weather affects what we use/wear

Raining we use umbrella

Snow means a heavy jacket and boots


Climate dictates how our houses are designed

Europeans don't use air conditioners

134

The percentage of Nitrogen, Oxyen, and Argon remain the same in EVERY layer of the atmosphere. Even though the total amount of air decreases as you travel up and away from the earth, the amount of each kind of gas in the air stays the same.

media

135

How does the tilt of the Earth impact our seasons?

  • Because the Earth’s axis is tilted, the most direct and intense solar energy occurs over the summer months, and the least direct and intense solar energy occurs over the winter months. 

  • The change in season at a given place on Earth is directly related to the orientation of the tilted Earth and the position of Earth in its orbit around the sun because of the change in the directness and intensity of the solar energy at that place over the course of the year.
