1. Chapter 19:
Earth’s Atmosphere

2. 3 methods of energy transfer
Radiation (EMR)
Conduction (BY TOUCH)
Convection (MOVEMENT OF GAS OR LIQUID)
3 methods of energy transfer

3. Greenhouse effect – “good” & natural global warming “bad”

4. Latitude vs solar energy

5. Earth’s orbit affects angle of sun’s rays

6. How does the atmosphere circulate?
Fluids move from high to low pressure
Equator moves faster than poles
Warm air rises, cold air sinks
Earth rotates
How does the atmosphere circulate?

7. Coriolis Effect: curving of moving object’s path b/c of rotation

8. Coriolis Effect in action

9. Global winds: set up by Coriolis effect & convection

10. Jet streams

11. Local winds caused by uneven heating

12. Valley breeze – warm air moves up mt. breeze – cold air moves down

13. The End
