The usual pattern of weather in a region over a long period
of time
Climate
Where “weather happens,” The atmospheric level that is
composed of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen (O2), 0.9% argon and 0.1%
other gases
Troposphere
Process where atmospheric gases absorb infrared
radiation emitted by Earth and re-radiated back toward
Earth…without it, Earth would be significantly colder and
life, as we know it, would not exist on Earth
What is Greenhouse Effect?
An example…Warm Earth temperature increase evaporation. This puts more water vapour in the air. Water vapour is a
Greenhouse Gas. Water vapour absorbs infrared radiation coming from Earth and re-radiates back to
Earth. This increases the temperature on Earth (i.e., result
impacts the cause)
What is Feedback Loop?
The vertical movement of warm and cold air establishes
this circular current. For example, the North Pole is
heated by warm air that rises at the 60O latitude and moves
northward.
What is Convection Current?
CO2, CH4, water vapour and N2O
What are Greenhouse Gases?
The largest reservoir of carbon near
the surface of the Earth.
What are the oceans?
During photosynthesis, this gas is produced.
What is oxygen?
These substances always contain atoms of carbon AND hydrogen, and often, oxygen
and nitrogen.
What are Organic Substances?
During this process, green plants absorb CO2 from the atmosphere and
use it to manufacture plant fibres, starches and sugars
What is photosynthesis?
It is the source of all energy in Earth’s ecosystems.
What is the Sun?
Working in the Antarctica, scientists drill vertically into the
ice and extract ice cores. To examine the concentrations of
Greenhouse Gases in the Eath’s atmosphere over 500,000 years
ago, the scientists do this procedure…
What is “take a very thin, vertical slice of
the ice?”
Scientists know how fast ice forms (i.e., deposition rate...or depth of new ice added every year). By measuring the concentration of
gases trapped in air bubbles in the ice, scientists can determine the
atmospheric conditions at times in Earth’s history
Ice and snow, sand and open fields reflect a lot of heat
radiation. Forest absorb lots of heat radiation. This example describes….
What is Albedo Effect?
Biogeochemical cycle in which carbon is cycled through the lithosphere,
atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere
What is the Carbon Cycle?
Water expands as it warms up. Thus, the oceans will rise due to melting polar ice caps AND the water will cover even
more area as it warms. The term for water expansion is…
What is Thermal Expansion?
The ocean’s water circulate constantly around the globe…
the major ocean currents of the world. This water circulation…
called Thermohaline Circulation… impacts coastal climates. What two factors
influence thermohaline ocean currents
What is (1) different salt
concentrations and (2) different water
temperatures…at both depth and at the surface?
Resulting from a human source
What is Anthropogenic?
Primary source ofNitrous oxide (N2O)
emissions.
What is management of
livestock feed and waste?
The percentage of the Sun’s radiation reaching the Earth that is absorbed by all the
green plants on Earth.
What is less than 1% of the total
energy(actually 0.26%)?
Ozone occurs in the stratosphere and absorbs this form of radiation of the sun
What is high-energy ultraviolet radiation (UV)?
Altitude, latitude, ocean currents, and proximity to large bodies of water plus wind direction
What are the four factors that impact
climate?
As polar ice caps melts due to Global Warming, the
volume of fresh water entering the oceans
increasing. How does this change potentially impact
the flow of ocean currents?
What is altering the salt concentration
differences in the oceans?
If the zones of higher salt concentration ocean water are
diluted, the difference between low and high salt concentration zones
will be reduced. Water will not flow naturally to dilute the high
concentration, and as such, thermohaline circulation will cease
Total amount of Greenhouse Gas
emissions produced by an organization, event, product or
person.
What is Carbon Footprint?
The type of radiation from the Sun that the ozone in the stratosphere absorbs
What is Ultraviolet (UV)?
UV is high-energy radiation.In strong or large doses, it is
very harmful to our cells.
In the carbon cycle, carbon moves from
terrestrial (ground) to atmosphere. These two events are the primary
cause the carbon movement in this
direction.
What are(1) volcanic eruptions and
(2) forest fires?
