  • Layers of atmosphere
    -Troposphere
    -Stratosphere
    -Mesosphere
    -Thermosphere
    -Exosphere
  • thernometer
    -glass thernometer
    -alchol or mercury thernometer
    -digital thernometer
  • convection occurs due to the collision of atomic particles in a heated material.
  • good conductor produced gases, silver, copper, aluminum, and iron
  • poor conductors are also called insulator produces wood, paper, and plastic
  • greenhouse effect - water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, nitrous oxide, chlorofluorocarbons, fluorocarbons
  • Method of charging
    -Friction
    -Conduction
    -Induction
  • Charging by Friction involves the transfer of electrons by rubbing against each other
  • Charging by conduction involves friction at first to charge an object
  • another way of charging an object without any direct contact - Induction
  • Types of meredian
    -prime meredian
    -greenwich meredian
    -antimeredian
  • Longitudes start at the prime meredian, which correspond to 0 degrees, and divide earth into east and west
  • it is a location that uses a chosen reference that will serve as the basis for its location - relative location
  • gives the location that does not change no matter what happens to the surroundings - absolute location
  • Absolute
    • the latitude and longitude of a place
    Relative
    • location of a place relative to another place
    similarities: both used to describe the position of a place on earth surface
  • Land breeze where the convection current moves from the land onto the water
  • Sea breeze a convection current where the cool air from the sea goes into the land
  • Amihan - Cool and dry winds blow from the northeast
  • Habagat - Warm, moist air flows from the southwest.
  • Climate is the average weather of a locality over a long period of time (at least a 30 year period).
  • convection - is a heat transfer through actual physical movement of a fluid (liquid or gas)
  • radiation - can happen in empty space or vacuum
