12. 1. Explain the difference b/w weathering & erosion.  Weathering breaks down rocks on Earth’s surface into smaller pieces  Erosion wears away Earth’s surface (wind, glaciers, moving water), and then carries materials away

13. 2. Explain the difference b/w physical & chemical weathering; give example.  Physical- breaks rock into smaller pieces Water freezes in crack, ice splits rock Water freezes in crack, ice splits rock

14. 2. Explain the difference b/w physical & chemical weathering; give example.  Chemical- Δs the actual chemical make-up of the rock Water + CO2  destruction of limestone Water + CO2  destruction of limestone

15. 7. How can glaciers cause erosion?  Slowly move downhill  p.u. soil/rocks  destroy forests, carve u- valleys, alter river course, wear down mtns.

17. 10. How does water cause erosion?  Fast-moving water  cuts into land, wears away soil/rock  creates sediment which grinds away other rocks  Waves erode cliffs, beaches, etc.

18. Earth’s Revolution As it rotates, Earth revolves around the sun (365 days) Tilt + revolution = seasons –Δs in length of days and temp. –Reversed for N & S hemispheres

20. Equinoxes & Solstices Equinox: Spring and Fall –Equal days and nights Solstice: Summer and Winter –Longer day or shorter day

21. Equinoxes & Solstices Spring equinox  March 21- rays hit Equator directly…equal day/night Summer solstice  June 22- rays hit Tropic of Cancer…longest day (US)

22. Equinoxes & Solstices Fall equinox  Sept. 23- rays hit Equator directly…equal day/night Winter solstice  December 22- rays hit Tropic of Capricorn…shortest day (US)

24. Equinoxes & Solstices So if it is summer in Houston, what season is it in Australia? If we are wearing long sleeves and jackets, what are they wearing in China?

25. The Poles For 6 months one pole is pointed toward sun  constant sunlight Other is pointed away  little to no sunlight “lands of the midnight sun”

26. El Nino http://www.teachersd omain.org/resource/e ss05.sci.ess.watcyc.e selnino/http://www.teachersd omain.org/resource/e ss05.sci.ess.watcyc.e selnino/

27. Landforms  Landforms affect climates of places @ the same latitude  Bodies of water moderate temps. b/c they take a long time to change temp.  Gulf of MX is warm water  keeps Houston warmer  Continentality– absence of lg. body of water means more drastic weather changes  Nebraska can have hot summers and receive snow in the winters (4 seasons instead of 2 )  Rainshadow effect  Cool air releases moisture on windward side of mountain; then hot, dry air moves to leeward side creating deserts

28. These are BIOMES! Forests Aquatic Tundra Desert Grasslands What is a biome? http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/glossary/gloss5/biome/

29. How is EARTH made, and how does it make life possible? LITHOSPHERE Greek: Rocky Sphere

30. Why does the SKY swirl and how does it make life possible? ATMOSPHERE Greek: Vapor Sphere

31. Where does the RAIN come from how does it make life possible? HYDROSPHERE Greek: Water Sphere

32. What is life and how do its systems sustain themselves? BIOSPHERE Greek: LIFE Sphere
