WEATHER PATTERNS AND SEVERE WEATHER | Lightning |

Form of static electricity – air is not a good conductor; charge builds up due to lack of conduction

Vertical updrafts/downdrafts strip electrons off of water molecules; hailstones or ice particles may also transfer energy to supercooled water to produce a charge

Positive charge builds at the top of the cloud; negative charge builds near the bottom, which in turn INDUCES a positive charge on high objects on the ground (by electrostatic repulsion; electrons are repulsed because like charges repel)

WEATHER PATTERNS AND SEVERE WEATHER | Lightning |

A single lightning bolt may have:

1-2 million volts

100,000 amperes (measure of the flow of electrons)

And heats the air to 30,000 kelvin (50,000 degrees F)

As the air expands in the lightning channel we hear THUNDER

Most lightning occurs from cloud to cloud (only 20% of all strikes make contact with the ground)

When lightning contacts ground, the first stroke (called the leader stroke) causes electrons to move upward; this is following by many return strokes where electrons are moving between ground and cloud

General relationship: every 5 seconds between lightning and thunder equals about 1 mile distance (3 seconds per kilometer)

WEATHER PATTERNS AND SEVERE WEATHER | Tornadoes |

Intensely rotating columns of air – wind speeds may approach 300 mph or 500 kph

Rotating columns are called funnel clouds before they touch down

Tornadoes actually pull air in near the surface and upward

The column of air is condensed water vapor which takes on the color of the material in the wind system

Average tornadoes are 140 meters wide at the base of the funnel and last 10 minutes on the ground

Strong tornadoes are actually multiple funnels at the base of a main funnel

Rotating columns of air increase their speed due to conservation of angular momentum

Most strong tornadoes form on the southwest edge of a thunderstorm

THE SOLAR SYSTEM | Terms | “Shooting stars”; small (pea size or smaller) meteoroids that enter the Earth’s atmosphere and burn up due to friction with the air

a)

Stoney-Irons

b)

Irons

c)

Meteors

d)

Meteorite

117.

THE SOLAR SYSTEM | Terms | The remain of any meteoroid that hits the Earth’s surface because it was too large to completely vaporize in the atmosphere

a)

Stoney-Irons

b)

Irons

c)

Meteors

d)

Meteorite

118.

THE SOLAR SYSTEM | Terms | Small icy dirt balls that have highly elliptical orbits (very eccentric) with a perihelion that brings them close to the Sun; at perihelion the comet sublimates profusely

Comets

b)

Nucleus

Coma

d)

Ion Tail

Ion Tail

e)

Dust Tail

121.

THE SOLAR SYSTEM | Terms | Made of gases whose electrons are ionized and giving off light (emission spectra); tail always points straight away from the Sun due to the pressure from the solar wind

a)

Comets

b)

Nucleus

c)

Coma

d)

Ion Tail

e)

Dust Tail

122.

THE SOLAR SYSTEM | Terms | Made of rock/dust particles; this tail curves because the particles begin to orbit the Sun; these particles supply the “monthly” meteor showers on Earth

GALAXIES AND COSMOLOGY | Big Bang Theory |

Idea of an expanding universe was first proposed in 1927 by Catholic Belgium priest Georges Lemaitre, based on red-shift studies of “spiral nebula” (really galaxies) by Vesto Slipher (1910).

This idea was supported by Edwin Hubble’s calculations that galaxies were receding from Earth in every direction, and that a galaxy’s red-shift was directly proportional to its distance.
