What is this projection, Describe
Globe
Helps civilians determine location and find direction, High use in cell phones and cars.
Global positioning system
In order to create a law we first need what
Facts
What is absolute location
Absolute location is the pin point location using minutes and seconds to know exactly where we are at on the globe. it uses lines of longitude and latitude.
Two types of forces
Constructive and Destructive
Provide examples of each
What is this projection
Robinson Projection
The Measurement of Longitude and Latitude
Degree
During the creation of Earth (according to the Nebular Theory) what occurred
Heavier elements were pulled twords teh sun creating teh rocky plannets and lighter gasses were blown away creating the gas giants.
Helps civilians determine location and find direction, High use in cell phones and cars.
Global positioning system (GPS)
Rule of Four
Observation, inference, predication, Scientific attitude
What is this projection, Describe
Conic Projection
List and describe all four Earth Spheres
Hydrosphere- This is the area in which all water is connected, the hydroshere is not just teh water but all life that depends on the water and interaction. The Hydrosphere does go through a recycling process with the help from the Athmosphere
Athmosphere- This is the Connection point of all the Earths gasses above ground. It provides a protection from the sun and UV rays, It filters the Hydrosphere and provides the needed life sustaining gases for life.
Geosphere- Is the rocky material of earth, there are multiple layers that are consistant and a crust that is not Uniform, the geophere is active which allows the earth to change each day.
Biosphere- is the point of connection with all life on and in earth. It overlaps all other pheres
What can humans tangibly separate the Earth into
Spheres
video and microwaves to find and see water, land, fires, pollution, natural resources and almost anything that is desired by researchers.
Remote Sensing
The Steps of scientific inquery
1. question. 2. hypothesis. 3. Experiment. 4. Data 5. Conclusion 6. communicate results.
