There are many Geo processes on the Earth because it is in constant motion‚ so the Earth’s surface is always changing; three Geo processes that change the surface of the Earth most are volcanoes‚ tsunamis‚ and earthquakes. Importantly‚ volcanic eruptions are caused by changes in the Earth’s crust. Just outside Rome‚ there are

2 Angles make a difference Aim The aim of this experiment is to test whether the angle of sunlight affects the surface temperature on earth. Hypothesis I believe Block B will receive more sunlight than Block A‚ because the lamp shines directly onto Block B. Materials * * Lamp * 2 thermometers * 2 blocks of wood * Black plastic tape Procedure 1. Cut out two small identically sized pieces of black tape and attach onto wooden blocks so that they make pockets. 2.

Affecting the environment Describe natural factors that have changed the surface and atmosphere of the Earth. Natural factors such as volcanic eruptions‚ changes in the Earth orbit and the amount of energy released from the Sun which can affect the Earth climate. Also human activities can be another reason why atmosphere is of the Earth is changing. When we burn fossil fuel such as coal‚ oil‚ and deforestation have caused the concentrations of heat-trapping “Greenhouse Gas” will increases significantly

Surface Waves: Understanding its movements I. Introduction We treat here an important wave phenomenon‚ the surface wave. It occurs in many physical systems both mechanical and electromagnetic. Mechanical surface waves can exist at the interface between two media with different densities such as the oceans and air. Ordinary sea waves and tsunamis are surface waves. Seismic events can produce both longitudinal and shear waves at the earth’s surface‚ resulting in earthquakes. Electromagnetic surface

Friction on a surface. Aim: To establish the relation between weight of a rectangular wooden block lying on a horizontal table and the minimum force required to just move it using a spring balance Materials required: A rectangular block of wood with a hook ‚ set of weights‚ strong thread and a spring balance. Theory: The force of friction acting on a block of wood is proportional to the normal reaction acting on the block. By the third law of motion‚ normal reaction is equal to the weight
