1. Weather and Atmosphere

3. Warm up (1-5-15) Welcome Back! Get a warm-up off the front table please! Write down what you remember about the atmosphere that we discussed last semester. – Think about the layers and the way the air moves in each layer.

4. Outline Objectives Test Review Write to Learn Review from last semester Weather and Atmosphere

5. Objectives Describe the formation of Earth’s early atmosphere and the composition of the lower atmosphere Demonstrate how the Earth system continually recycles gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor, and how natural events and human activities disturb an atmosphere in balance.

6. Write to Learn…. How do other parts of the Earth system affect the composition of the atmosphere?

7. Quick Review Composition of the atmosphere? – Nitrogen (78.08%) – Oxygen (20.95%) – Argon (0.934%) – Carbon Dioxide (0.036%) What are the layers of the atmosphere? – Troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere Has the composition of the atmosphere remained stable throughout Earth’s recent history? – Yes, efficient recycling system between the atmosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere

8. Atmosphere Layer of gases that surround the Earth Help keep some material out, and keep other material close to the Earth

9. Geosphere The solid parts of the Earth The surface

10. Hydrosphere Liquid water component of the Earth

11. Biosphere All ecosystems on Earth The zone of life on Earth

13. Heat and the Atmosphere What are the 3 ways that heat energy moves? – Conduction, convection, radiation How can you define each of these terms?

14. How Heat Energy Moves

15. Structure of the Atmosphere

16. Insolation and the Atmosphere What is insolation? – Incoming solar radiation – Some insolation is absorbed by gases in the atmosphere and some reaches Earth’s surface Half of insolation reaches surface What is the greenhouse effect? – Infrared radiation remains in Earth’s atmosphere, helps Earth thrive as a planet, accumulation of carbon dioxide and water vapor in the atmosphere can absorb radiation and act as a blanket for the Earth What is the global heat budget? – Model used to represent the overall flow of energy into and out of the atmosphere

17. Apply what you know… Go back to your write to learn question from earlier… Using the information that we talked about and reviewed today in class, revise your answer to that question… Think about the 4 different zones of the Earth. – How do other parts of the Earth system affect the composition of the atmosphere?

18. Warm up (1-6-15) What are the four zones of the Earth that help maintain the recycling system for our Earth? What do you think would happen if one of those zones wasn’t doing its job correctly? Make a prediction about what would happen if the atmosphere did not do its job of protecting the Earth?

23. Write to Learn Explain why you think there are different temperatures from place to place on the Earth? Use some of the terms that we reviewed yesterday, like insolation, heat budget, green house effect, ozone

24. Local Temperature Variations Insolation heats Earth’s surface and atmosphere unequally – Intensity of insolation varies with the time of day, latitude, and time of year – Characteristics of material affect how much insolation is absorbed and how the absorbed energy changes the temperature Pavement gets hotter than grass Page 374
