7.E.1 Earth Systems, Structures, and Process Study Guide 1.1 Atmospheric Layers (know characteristics of each) A. B. C. D. E. Troposphere Stratosphere Mesosphere Thermosphere Exosphere a. Know the types of gases found in the atmosphere and amounts of each: nitrogen, oxygen, CO2, water vapor, etc. b. Know the relationship between pressure, temperature, and altitude at each level. 1.2 Water Cycle A. Be able to label each part of the water cycle and know how this affects weather. 1.3 Storm formation, air masses, high and low pressure A. Identify severe storms B. Know the difference between weather and climate C. How do storms form? a. Know cloud types b. Know the different air masses/fronts c. What happens with high and low pressure d. What fuels hurricanes? e. What does wind have to do with tornadoes and hurricanes? 1.4 Weather predictions A. Weather instruments and what they are used for a. Simple instruments (on chart) as well as radar, weather balloons, Doppler Radar, satellites b. Weather maps, 5-day forecast, meteorologist c. Weather symbols d. Cloud formations 1.5 Coriolis Effect & Jet Stream A. What is the Coriolis effect? a. Understand storm rotation due to this B. What is the jet stream? a. Which way does it rotate? b. When will planes fly in the jet stream? 1.6 Monitoring air quality A. Know the difference between climate change, the greenhouse effect, and global warming a. Why is the greenhouse effect good/bad? b. What is the result of global warming? c. Understand reasons why global warming may be a natural event vs. human-caused d. Greenhouse gasses i. What is the main cause of each one? (methane and CO2 mainly) B. Air pollution a. What is bad ozone? Where is it found? b. Who usually is affected by air pollution first? i. Asthma, emphysema, bronchitis, pneumonia c. Acid Rain i. Acids in acid rain d. Alternate energy sources: i. Solar power, hydropower, wind-power, harnessing methane gas e. Stewardship i. What can we do?
