Stratosphere
Ozone layer, blocks UVA, 30 miles above Earth
Weathering
Effects of wind, water, ice, sun, gravity
Exosphere
is the outermost layer of the Earth's atmosphere. It starts 620 to 6214 miles above earth surface.
Sedimentary Rock
when layers of sediments are compressed
The 5 kingdoms of biology
Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animilia
Processes of the Earth System
Plants, Humans, Heat, Weathering, Erosion, Rock Cycle
biosphere
life
Erosion
moving weathered materials by water or winds to another location
Hydrosphere
water
Meteoroid
Metallic particle that revolves around the sun
metamorphic rock
igneous and sedimentary rock transformed through heat and pressure
Crust
thick, moving plates, outer shell
Atmosphere
Air
Comet
revolves around the sun, has a tail and nucleus, tail faces away from the sun due to solar winds
Eclipse
total or partial obscuring of a celestial body by another body typically involving the Sun, Earth and moon.
Continental Plates
plates under continents
Outer Core
composed of molten iron and nickel that lies above Earth's solid inner core
Order of the planets
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus , Neptune, Pluto
Oceanic plates
plates under the ocean
Ingneous rock
forms when magma cools
Law of Superposition
Old rocks at the bottom, new rock on top// past is on the bottom.
Moon Phases
New, Waxing, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, Waning crescent
How long does it take for the moon to revolve around the Earth?
28 days
Humans
biosphere build dams to control lakes
Plants
biosphere pulls water and nutrients from soil to release oxygen into the atmosphere
Lunar Eclipse
Earth Blocks the moon
Divergent
separating that results in new crusts, rivers, oceans, and lakes
Transform
rubbing that result in earthquakes
Mantle
Causes plates to move (astenosphere and lithosphere)
Solar Eclipse
Moon blocks the Sun
Inner core
solid metal Center of the Earth
Meteor
burns through the suns atmosphere
4 layers of the Earth
Crust, Mantle, Outer core, Inner core
Milky Way
Galaxy where Earth is located
Ionsphere
the layer of the Earth's atmosphere that is ionized by solar and cosmic radiation. It lies 75-1000 km (46-621 miles) above the Earth.
3 contributing factors to weather
solar radiation, earth movement, water cycle
Heat
Solar energy and Radioactivity from the core
Rock Cycle
all rocks come from the mantle minus limestone
Lithosphere
Land
Troposphere
Provides Earths weather and 4/5 the air,
Solar Radiation
heat from sun turns into heat
Mesosphere
burns up meteors , 52 miles above Earths surface, cold
Convergent
collisions that result in mountains, volcanoes, ridges, recycling of crust
Plate boundaries or movement
divergent , convergent, transform
3 kinds of rocks
igneous, sedimentary , metamorphic
5 layers of the atmosphere (highest to lowest)
Exosphere, Ionosphere, Mesosphere, stratosphere, Troposphere,
Constellations
88, used to organize the night sky
Water Cycle
Condensation, water vapor, precipitation, infiltration (water enters soil), ground water, lakes and streams, evaporation , transpiration
Big Bang year
20 million years ago
Earth Movement
seasons are caused by the orbit of the Earth around the sun and rotation of the earth on axis
