shape over the course of the month‚ and she wants to investigate why this happens. She hypothesizes that the relationship of the sun‚ Earth‚ and moon creates shadows on the moon. She sets up an experiment with a light bulb to represent the sun‚ a large beach ball to represent Earth‚ and a smaller foam ball to represent the moon. She researches the position of the sun‚ Earth‚ and moon at different times of a month and makes a model of the entire system. 1. Identify the parts of the scientific method in

spaces in between rock and sediment in liquid form. Natural gas is also formed from the remains of microorganisms but is in the gaseous form. Natural gas mostly is made up of methane (CH4) and is highly compressed in small volumes deep within the earth. Coal is highly abundant compared to oil and natural gas. Some analysts predict that the use of coal will increase as oil supplies decline. The coal supplies that we have now could last up to 200 years or longer. Undeveloped countries can not afford

Weather and Atmospheric Water Humidity- the amount of water in the air in a particular spot. Relative Humidity- the percentage of water vapor a certain volume of air is holding relative to the max amt it can contain. 80% humidity means that it is holding 80% of the total amt of water that it can hold at that temp. Heat Index- shows what the temperature feels like due to humidity. Dew Point- the point at which air becomes saturated with water. Water will condense from the air as dew‚ if the

Classzone Assignment #1 (es0103) 1) Looking at the image‚ what are the major parts of our planet that can interact as a system? There are four major parts of our planet that can interact as a system and they are the four spheres. The four spheres are the atmosphere‚ biosphere‚ geosphere‚ and the hydrosphere. 2) Describe each of Earth’s four spheres. List several examples of features in each sphere. The geosphere; mountains‚ rocks‚ dirt The hydrosphere; oceans‚ lakes‚ rivers‚ snow‚ hail‚ rain

Course Syllabus College of Natural Sciences GLG/150CA Version 1 Exploration of Earth Sciences Course Description This course focuses on the dynamic forces impacting Earth’s environment. It is a study of the major constructs in geology‚ oceanography‚ meteorology‚ and astronomy collectively called Earth science. A scientific approach will be used in orienting students to develop an understanding of the interconnectivity of each of these sciences. Policies Faculty and students/learners

12.1 Weathering 1-7 Mechanical and chemical weathering are different because mechanical is when a rock is split and then worn down by the elements‚ and chemical weathering is when different minerals and substances are changed in a rock. Ice and water are involved in chemical weathering because the water soaks into the cracks of the rock and then it freezes and expands so the rock is split more. Upward expansion is related to mechanical weathering because when the rocks are lifted up they become

Equilibrium is meant as the material that is on Earth’s surface that is stable because they have adapted over time in accordance with chemicals and conditions that exist within their environment. When rocks are forced out of equilibrium their forms alter and they are broken down into different particles. The new particles that are formed when exposed to the elements are then in equilibrium

reference to a frost heave.) Plant action Tiny root hairs seek out small cracks and pits in rock. Once the root hairs find a place they grow and expand. The expansion causes great pressure and cracks the rock. Exfoliation Rocks formed deep in the Earth are made under high pressure. When the pressure is released the rocks expand & crack. May also be caused by alternate heating and cooling of rocks by weather conditions. Abrasion- rubbing by other rocks. Chemical weathering is where the rock material
