Environmental Science
It is the study of the impact of humans on the environment
What is environmental science?
The narrow layer around the earth's surface in which life can exit.
What is the biosphere?
Nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other gases are all parts of this mixture.
What is the atmosphere?
Core, mantle, and crust
What are compositional layers of the earth?
Water vapor forms water droplets on dust particles.
What is condensation?
It is to understand and solve environmental problems.
What is a goal of environmental science?
Energy enters and leaves the system, gut matter does not.
What is a closed system?
Thermosphere, Troposhpere, Mesosphere, and stratosphere
What are layers of the atmosphere?
The solid part of the earth that consist of all rock, as well as the soils and loose rocks.
What is geology?
Precipitation, evaporation, and condensation
What are the major processes of the water cycle?
It encompasses many sciences and is thus called this type of science.
What is an interdisciplinary science?
When an organism in the biosphere dies, its body is broken down and the matter in its body becomes available to other organisms.
What is the energy flow in the biosphere?
It extends from abut 18 km to an altitude of about 50 km. Temperatures rise as altitude increases here.
What is the stratosphere?
Athenosphere, mesophere, outer core, inner core, and lithosphere
What are the physical layers of earth?
Surface and Deep
What are the two type of ocean currents?
What is ecology?
It is made up of the uppermost part of the geosphere, most of the hydrosphere, and the lower part of the atmosphere.
What is biosphere?
A molecule made up of three oxygen atoms and reduces the amount of UV radiation that reaches earth
What is ozone?
The outer most layer of earth divided into pieces.
What are tectonic plates?
The rock layer that stores and allows the flow of groundwater.
What is an aquifer?
This science helps us model how pollutants travel underground.
What is geology?
This project is an attempt to model the biosphere.
What the Eden Project?
It is found in the atmospheric layer, farthest from earth's surface, thermosphere. Sometimes ions radiate energy as light here. It is the lower thermosphere.
What is ionosphere?
Lithosphere, cryosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, geosphere, and hydrosphere.
What are earth's inner connected spheres?
Smaller streams or rivers that flow into larger ones.
What are tributaries?
