Earth's Spheres
What is the lithosphere?
Layer of Rocks
What is latitude?
Parallel Lines
North and South, includes the equator.
What are isolines?
Lines drawn on a field map to connect all of the points on that map that have the same value.
What is the density of an object with a mass of 45grams and a volume of 13cm3? Round to the nearest tenth.
3.5g/cm3
What does extrapolate mean? How do you extrapolate using a graph?
To estimate based on known information, with a graph you follow the data points in the direction they are going.
What layer of the Atmosphere do meteors burn up?
Mesosphere
What is the highest degree of latitude?
90degrees north or south
Name the different types of isolines.
Isobar
Isotherm
Isohyet
Contour Line
If you know the Density and the Volume, how do you find the mass?
Mass=D(V)
What is the rate of change formula?
Rate of change= change in value/change in time
What is Ozone?
3 oxygen atoms
Absorbs harmful UV radiation
Which lines are vertical? And what is the highest they go to in degrees?
Longitude- 180degrees E or W
Name 5 rules of Isolines
1. Connect equal points of data
2. Close the circle around hills or depressions or extend to boarder
3. Isolines never cross each other
4. Close together represent higher gradient
5.Far apart represent less gradients
If you know the Density and the Mass, how do you find the volume?
Volume=mass/density
Where is the rate of change formula found on your reference table?
Front page, third formula down.
At an altitude of 40km, what is the temperature in the stratosphere?
25 degrees C
How many time zones are their? And what interval are they at?
24 1 hour intervals
What is the gradient formula?
Gradient= Change in field value/distance.
You have a density of 5.8g/cm3, and the mass of 65grams. Find the volume rounding to the nearest tenth.
Volume= 11.2cm3
What is the best example of a cyclic event?
a. the appearance of Halley’s comet every 76 years
b. a hurricane moving up the east coast an hitting Long Island
c. an earthquake near Washington DC
d. a tsunami striking the east coast of Japan
a
Using page 10 of your reference table, at a depth of 2000km what sphere of the interior earth would you be in? What is the density range?
Mantle
3.4g/cm3-5.6g/cm3
How many degrees does Earth Rotate in 24 hours?
360degrees
Find the gradient of the problem given to you by Ms. McCracken. #13
40ft/mile
What is the mass of an object with a density of 4.8g/ml and a volume of 5ml?
24g
What is the point of putting information in a graph?
To see the relationship that exists between the data and see the information visually.
