What's Happening to the Earth?
This change in the planet is the most concerning for low-lying nations such as the Maldives and Bangladesh.
Sea Level Rise
Hydrocarbon (fuel) and oxygen are necessary reactants for this type of reaction.
Combustion
Light from distant (or near) stars can be studied with a specialized type of telescope known as a _______________.
Spectrascope
This is the official classification of our star, the Sun.
Yellow Dwarf
"Go where nobody's been. Have you ever had fun like this?"
Beyonce - Cuff It'
Tuna
Nuclear fission utilizes heavy elements such as ___________ or ___________ and breaks them down into lighter elements to generate energy.
Uranium or Plutonium
If you were to look at pure, white light with no obstructions with a spectrascope, you would see this type of color pattern.
Rainbow or All Colors.
Later on in our Sun's life, it will enter this phase, where the color will change, and it will get MUCH larger.
Red Giant
“When my depression works the graveyard shift. All of the people I've ghosted stand there in the room”
Taylor Swift - Antihero
Increases in this atmospheric gas have been correlated to increasing global temperatures.
Carbon Dioxide
Nuclear ___________ occurs when two light elements, such as hydrogen, combine to form a heavier element releasing a TREMENDOUS amount of energy.
Fusion
Using the spectra from the Sun, we can determine that the Sun is composed of these two elements.
Hydrogen and Helium.
After our star has used up all it's hydrogen, it will leave behind a pure carbon corpse and enter this last stage of it's life cycle.
White Dwarf
“Yeah, I've been pourin' ninety to a hundred. Feel like nothing's gonna cut it, that's the hard truth”
Morgan Wallen - Youproof
Increases in this measurement is leading to increases in storm strength and intensity and is also lengthening hurricane season.
Ocean Temperature
This is the product of nuclear fusion.
Helium
In class, I showed you a famous album cover that had prism separating light. What band did this album cover?
Pink Floyd
All stars are born in clouds of dust and gas called ________________.
Nebula or Nebulae
"I used to think I was smart. But you made me look so naïve"
Olivia Rodrigo - Vampire
Scientists believe that we are experiencing Earth's 6th ___________, as more and more species are in danger of dying out due to rapid climate change.
Mass Extinction Event
These two molecules are the products of combustion.
Water and Carbon Dioxide.
As light passes through a gas, the gas absorbs some of the light resulting in THESE forming on the spectagraph.
Emission Lines (Emission Spectra)
Stars that are much more massive then our Sun end their life cycles in the most energetic explosions in the Universe, which are known as a _________________.
Supernova
"Tryin' to strike a cord, and it's probably A minor"
Kendrick Lamar - Not Like Us
