12. 1. Explain the difference b/w weathering & erosion. • Weathering breaks down rocks on Earth’s surface into smaller pieces • Erosion wears away Earth’s surface (wind, glaciers, moving water), and then carries materials away

13. 2. Explain the difference b/w physical & chemical weathering; give example. • Physical- breaks rock into smaller pieces • Water freezes in crack, ice splits rock

14. 2. Explain the difference b/w physical & chemical weathering; give example. • Chemical- Δs the actual chemical make-up of the rock • Water + CO2 destruction of limestone

15. Slowly move downhill p.u. soil/rocks destroy forests, carve u-valleys, alter river course, wear down mtns. 7. How can glaciers cause erosion?

17. Fast-moving water  cuts into land, wears away soil/rock  creates sediment which grinds away other rocks Waves erode cliffs, beaches, etc. 10. How does water cause erosion?

18. 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

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

21. 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)

22. 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)

24. Equinoxes & Solstices • So if it is summer in Houston, what season is it in Australia? • If we are wearing long sleeves and jackets, what are they wearing in China?

25. 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”

26. El Nino • http://www.teachersdomain.org/resource/ess05.sci.ess.watcyc.eselnino/

27. Landforms • Landforms affect climates of places @ the same latitude • Bodies of water moderate temps. b/c they take a long time to change temp. • Gulf of MX is warm water keeps Houston warmer • Continentality– absence of lg. body of water means more drastic weather changes • Nebraska can have hot summers and receive snow in the winters (4 seasons instead of 2  ) • Rainshadow effect • Cool air releases moisture on windward side of mountain; then hot, dry air moves to leeward side creating deserts

28. These are BIOMES! Aquatic Desert Tundra What is a biome? Forests Grasslands http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/glossary/gloss5/biome/

29. How is EARTH made, and how does it make life possible? LITHOSPHERE Greek: Rocky Sphere

30. Why does the SKY swirl and how does it make life possible? ATMOSPHERE Greek: Vapor Sphere

31. Where does the RAIN come from how does it make life possible? HYDROSPHERE Greek: Water Sphere

32. What is life and how do its systems sustain themselves? BIOSPHERE Greek: LIFE Sphere
