1 1 Geology 1001/1101 Sec 003 Chris Paola Class 10: the water planet

2 2 Chapter 11 THE HYDROLOGIC CYCLE AND GROUNDWATER

3 3 Key ideas about water Fresh vs salt vs ice Surface vs ground water vs ice Water availability –Aquifers and groundwater flow –Areas of high and low rainfall; deserts Ocean flow

52 52 Sea salt What’s in it? How salty is the ocean? Where does the salt come from? Why isn’t there more of it?

53 53 Sea salt

54 54 Ocean vertical profiles

55 55 Ocean circulation Wind (surface to ~ 1000 m) Density differences: thermohaline First meet M. Coriolis…

56 56 Coriolis force

57 57 Coriolis force Coriolis animation

58 58 Coriolis force

59 59 Coriolis force Coriolis + centrifugal movie

60 60 Coriolis force Coriolis always acts relative to the direction of motion: 90 deg to right in the NH 90 deg to left in the SH

61 61 Coriolis force How large is the Coriolis force? Why don’t you feel it when you walk around? Why does it change sign as we cross the equator? http://www.ems.psu.edu/~fraser/Bad/BadCoriolis.html

62 62 Coriolis force

63 63 Coriolis force Lo P Pressure Coriolis

72 72 Modeling ocean surface movie

73 73 Misconception: The deep (thermohaline or density-driven) circulation

74 74 Air Circulation: Familiar Simple Symmetrical

75 75 Why does ocean water sink? Water is heated & cooled, but…

76 76 Why does ocean water sink?

77 77 Why does ocean water sink?

78 78 Why does ocean water sink?

79 79 Why does ocean water sink?

80 80 Why does ocean water sink?

81 81 Why does ocean water sink?

82 82 Why does ocean water sink?

83 83 Why does ocean water sink? The polar water that sinks fastest is saltier water from tropics!

84 84

85 85 Why does ocean water rise?

86 86 Why does ocean water rise? Not Temperature!

87 87 Why does ocean water rise? Not Temperature! Not Salinity!

88 88 Why does ocean water rise? Not Temperature! 1 wind Not Salinity!

89 89 Wind blows surface water away, Why does ocean water rise? Not Temperature! 1 wind 2 Not Salinity!

90 90 Wind blows surface water away, allowing deeper water to rise Why does ocean water rise? Not Temperature! 1 wind 2 3 Not Salinity!
