greenhouse effect. The longer infrared wavelengths radiated by sun-warmed objects do not pass readily through the glass. The trap of this energy warms the interior of the vehicle. The trapping of the hot air so that it cannot rise and lose the energy by convection also plays a major role. Stephen Novdia stated‚ “The greenhouse effect was discovered by Joseph Fourier in 1824‚ first reliably experimented on by John Tyndall in 1858‚ and first reported quantitatively by Svante Arrhenius in 1896” (Global Warming)

MODULE E – Planetary Engineering: Mesozoic Tectonics Lesson 17 – Plate Tectonics 101 Introduction - Plate Tectonics = “Grand Unifying Theory” explaining relationships between processes within Earth From Theory of Continental Drift - Alfred Wegener in 1915 The Theory of Plate Tectonics 1) Earth’s surface consists of many lithospheric plates including crust (continental or oceanic) and immediately underlying mantle‚ cold and rigid 2) These plates are presently moving around on Earth’s surface

objects for insulation because black will radiate the heat greatly. I have found information from the internet‚ that the polystyrene will be the best in insulator. I will have to bung up the end of the test tube as well because heat will be lost by convection currents. By keeping the test tubes well insulator the water molecules should be zooming around in the water at the same speed for a longer time with all that trapped heat energy. Prediction I predict that polystyrene will be the best insulator

Chapter One Introduction to Geology "study of the Earth." Geology literally means Physical geology examines the materials and processes of the Earth. Historical geology examines the origin and evolution of our planet through time. • Geology is an evolving science - the theory of plate tectonics was just accepted in the 1960’s. • • . Geology seeks to understand the origin of our planet and our place in the Universe - answers to these questions are also posed outside of the realm

Earth’s Energy Budget Introduction: This Albedo lab was created to help explain the process in which the Earth reflects solar energy back to space. The fraction of radiation reflected by an object is known as an albedo. In relation to the atmosphere‚ as solar radiation reaches certain colors on the surface of Earth‚ more radiation is absorbed by darker colors‚ which in turn decreases the solar radiation that reflects back to the atmosphere.

Chapter 1 1. Define sustainability. What role does concern for future generations play in the notion of sustainability? The ability for a society to meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs 2. Distinguish between natural resources and environmental services. Natural resources – we get from the environment to meet our biological and economic needs and wants Environmental services – natural processes
