Science Module 5
a quick study for your Module 5 Science Exam on 10/12/2017
| Cryosphere | Includes all of the frozen water on Earth and areas of frozen ground |
| Hydrosphere | Is all of the rest of the water on Earth that is not frozen |
| Biosphere | Living things, on, in, or surrounding the planet Earth. |
| Atmosphere | A layer of gases surrounding the Earth. |
| Geosphere | All the solid & molten rock; is made u of the Earth's solid crust, ocean crust, inner layers of the Earth (which are liquid rock), and the solid inner core. |
| Temperature | Depends on where you are in the world; is the current weather outside, in an area. |
| Climate Examples | Louisiana is usually hot; It is usually cold in Michigan. |
| Temperature Examples | It is currently snowing in Michigan; It is currently raining in Colorado. |
| Median | The number in the middle Middle (*think of the median on the interstate) |
| Mean | The average of a set of numbers; can be found by adding up the set of numbers, and dividing by how many numbers are in that set of data |
| Mode | The one that occurs the most in a set of numbers. |
| Altitude | A location's distance above the ocean; measured in (ft.) - Higher = colder - Lower = warmer |
| Distance from the equator | - Closer = closer to the earths rays so (Warmer) - Farther = cooler/colder - not as close to the earth's rays |
| Direction of winds | Wind from North & South poles = cold Winds from equator = warm |
| Ocean currents | Near warm water currents = warmer climate Near cold water currents = colder climate |
| Distance from a large body of water | Closer to the ocean = warmer in the winter & cooler in the summer Farther from the ocean = cooler in the winter & warmer in the summer |
| Why does the equator have more sunlight? | The suns rays shine directly on this part, causing it to have more sunlight, and to be much, MUCH! warmer. |
| Where are tropical climates? | Near the equator and warm (65 ºF) year round; located in the southern tip of Florida. Example: Florida beach |
| Dry climate example | The desert |
| Mild climate example | Louisiana |
| Continental climate | Canada, Michigan |
| Mountain area example | Mt. Everest |
| The difference between global warming(gw) and the greenhouse effect.(ge) | GW, caused when GE is too strong, the sun's rays come through the Earth's atmosphere; the greenhouse effect is used to keep the sun's harmful rays from coming through the Earth's atmosphere Greenhouse effect = good Global warming = bad |
| What are the greenhouse gases? | 1. Water vapor 2. Carbon dioxide 3. Methane 4. Nitrous oxide 5. Ozone |
| The greenhouse effect can also be compared to _________________ . | A greenhouse; used to keep the plants inside warm, but not let all the heat to get inside. |
| A hole in the ozone layer is bad, why? | This can cause the sun's harmful rays to enter Earth and can produce global warming. |
| The result of the greenhouse effect. | Can protect the Earth from its rays, but if it gets to strong, it can cause global warming which is ver bad. |
| What would help people from flooding. | Dams - designed to hold back water for a near by city to stay safe Levees - used to help extend the height of a river bank. |
| Examples of Warnings for tornadoes in communities | Tornado sirens; A weather app on your phone the alerts your of dangerous weather. |
| How to protect yourself from the Sun's rays? | Use sunscreen, wear long-sleeves and pants, and wear sunglasses. |
