Reason for the Seasons
This movement of Earth causes night and day.
What is Rotation
We see the moon because sunlight is......
reflected off the moon
Above average water height
High tide
When wavelength decreases, what happens to frequency and energy?
Frequency and energy increase
Name of an item, natural or man-made, that orbits another object.
Satellite
When an object orbits around another object.
What is "Revolution"
Roughly how many days does it take for the moon to orbit the Earth?
30 days
Below average water height
Low tide
This wave carries the most energy and can be used to treat cancer
Gamma wave
Pearland High School football is in the second round of playoffs. This is the team they will play on Friday.
Who are the Dickinson Gators?
What causes seasons such as summer and winter?
The tilt of the earth and the revolution.
Full moon
The Moon and Sun both contribute to gravitational pull on Earth and the oceans, but why does the Moon have a greater effect on Earth's tides?
Because of how close the moon is to Earth.
Which color of visible light is the least energetic (longest wavelength, lowest frequency)
Red
How long does it take for the Earth to revolve around the sun?
365.25 Days
If the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun then what season is the southern hemisphere experiencing?
These lunar phases causes a Spring Tide
New and Full moon
Lunar phases for Spring Tide (greatest tidal range)
New and Full Moon (straight line)
Longitudinal waves carry particles. What is happening to them as magnetic force moves along an EM wave?
The particles expand and compress
Which type of EM wave are concerned with that is emitted from the sun and may cause skin cancer?
Ultraviolet Rays
Explain why we have a leap year.
Because the Earth takes 365.25 days to revolve around the Sun so every four years a day is added to the calendar to deal with the .25 day.
Lunar phase that occurs after a new moon, approximately 7 days later and light is illuminated on the right side.
1st Quarter
Lunar phases for Neap tide (smallest tidal range).
1st and 3rd Quarter (created 90 degree angle with Earth-Moon-Sun).
The order of the EM spectrum from shortest wavelength to longest wavelength (hint: there are 7)
gamma, x-ray, UV, visible light, infrared, microwave, radio
Approximately how many hours are there between consecutive high tides?
Around 12 hours
