Cornell Notes

2. HYDROSPHERE
ATMOSPHERE
precipitation
Water, lakes, ice, humidity
Air surrounding earth
BIOSPHERE
life
wind erosion
water erosion
LITHOSPHERE
Rock, soil, mountains, etc.

4. 4 Layers to the Atmosphere
Thermosphere: absorbs SOLAR RADIATION
Northern/Southern Lights form here
Mesosphere: where SHOOTING STAR burn up
Stratosphere: the protective OZONE LAYER floats here
Protects against ULTRAVIOLET rays
SKIN & EYE CANCER are major risks that could arise without this layer
Troposphere: where WEATHER forms

5. Why do you think that the temperature heats up within the Stratosphere?

6. Ozone Layer Destroyed due to CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons)
Hairspray
Refrigerators
In 1987, banned CFCs

7. Causes of Weather If there are LANDFORMS or BODIES OF WATER present
The direction the AIR moves
How HOT or COLD the air is
How much WATER VAPOR is within the atmosphere

8. Orographics

9. Convectional Uplift

10. Air Masses Maritime Moist air Continental Dry air Tropical Warm air
Arctic/Polar
Cold air

12. Fronts
Air masses moving brings
Cold Fronts
Warm Fronts

13. Cold Fronts Dense – bulldozer Sharp drop in temperature Steep uplift
Heavy Precipitation
Thunderstorms

14. Warm Fronts Sweeps the cold front aside Gradual uplift Milder weather
Light rain
Brings warmer temperatures
