Relative Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air at any given time. 100% relative humidity means Dew Point. It will or it is already raining.

Dew Point=100%

4. What is dew point?

Steps in Finding the Relative Humidity

Step 1: Dry bulb temperature – Wet bulb temperature= ______ Step 2: Find this number at the top of the chart and place your finger on it. Step 3: Find the dry-bulb temperature in the first column on the left. Step 4: The relative humidity is where column and row intersect on the chart.

5. What is the relative humidity based on the chart on the left?

Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun.

13. What causes tides?

Tidal bulge appear on opposite side because the earth and the moon orbit each other

Neap Tide

Spring Tide is higher high tide

14. Which has more influence on earth’s tides?

Earth’s tides

15. How are Weather and Climate different?

Weather Climate

Both weather and climate deal with the condition of the atmosphere.

Day to day (shorter time)

Years(longer time)

Warm or hot region because of its nearness to the equator.

Cold region because of its nearness to the North pole.

16. Where do polar and tropical air masses come from?

are associated with thunderstorms and most violent weather

produces less violent weather (light to moderate continuous rain

Raining for many days, flooding

these fronts are often characterized by storms that are dissipating (disperse).

17. What kind of front forms cumulonimbus clouds?

18. What is the Soil Triangle?

A soil texture triangle is used to classify the texture class of a soil.

19. A soil with 30% clay, 50% sand, and 20% silt is called a ________________ . sandy clay loam

CLAY SILT

SAND

20. What are the components of soil?

21. What is soil texture?

Organic matter or humus, water, oxygen, and inorganic rock material

Measure of volume proportion of sand, silt , and clay.

22. What is soil porosity?

23. What is soil permeability?

Water holding capacity of the soil.

The rate at which water pass through the soil.

24. Which has higher permeability sand or clay?

25. What is loam?

Sand has higher permeability than clay.

Loam is the type of soil best for growing plants.

The moon has more influence to the tides than the Sun because of its proximity or nearness.

26. Why does the moon has more influence on earth’s tides than the Sun?

27. Which is the foot wall and which is the hanging wall?

A is the _______wall while B is the _______ wall.

A is the hanging wall and B is the foot wall.

28. Describe the motion of the foot wall and the hanging wall in a normal fault.

Foot wall

Hanging wall

29. Describe the motion of the foot wall and the hanging wall in a reverse fault.

Foot wall

Hanging wall

30. What is the epicenter?

Epicenter is directly above the focus.

Earthquake

Seismic wave

Kepler’s 1st law – orbits of planets are elliptical.

31. What is Kepler’s 1st law?

32. Kepler's second law- the line joining the Sun and planet sweeps out equal areas in equal times, so the planet moves faster when it is nearer the Sun.

Kepler’s 2nd Law

P is precession

N is nutation

R is the rotation of Earth’s axis ( 26,000 years)

P is precession

N is nutation

R is the rotation of Earth’s axis ( 26,000 years)

33. Which causes our northern star to change? P is precession

P is precession

N is nutation

R is the rotation of Earth’s axis ( 26,000 years)

34. What causes nutation?

Uneven gravitational pull of the moon.

35. What type of plate boundary lies in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean?

Divergent Boundary– Mid-Ocean Ridge

36. What area has the most occurrence of earthquake and volcanic eruption?

Pacific Ring of Fire – around the Pacific Ocean

37. What kind of plate boundary lies in the Pacific Ring of Fire ?

Convergent Boundary

38. Which Type of fault is a horizontal shear?

39. What is the Coriolis effect?Wind travels in a straight path but because Earth is spinning from the west to the East.

•Wind curves to right in the northern hemisphere.

•Wind curves to the left in the southern hemisphere.

40. What is one of the dangers of open pit mining?

Landslide. Other dangers include water pollution, habitat destruction.http://news.yahoo.com/utah-avalanche-largest-modern-history-221000689.html

Wind and water erodes soil and pollution into river basins, watersheds, and lakes.

41. What causes river basins, watersheds, and lakes to be shallow and eutrophied?

Dredging is the removal of materials like rocks and sediments from bodies of water to make them deeper.

42. What is dredging?

to provide access to ports and harbors.

to protect against flooding and erosion.

to create recreational facilities like beaches through sand nourishment.

provide construction materials such as sand, gravel, shell and clay.

to remove or remediate subaqueous pollutants and improve water quality and sediment habitats.

43. What are the Reasons for dredging?

Alfred Wegener first proposes Continental Drift in his book published in 1915. Suggests that 200 million years ago there existed one large supercontinent which he called Pangaea

44. Who proposed the Continental Drift theory?

Plate tectonics explains the movement of the Earth's plates and also explains the cause of earthquakes, volcanoes, oceanic trenches, and mountain formation.

45. What is plate tectonics?

46. What is the lithosphere?

47. What causes the continents to drift?

Convection current in the mantle.

48. What are the three types of plate boundaries?

1 2

3

49. What kind of plate boundary forms the following landforms?
