Scientific Investigation and Earth Space Systems

AB
Density=mass (m) /volume (v)
Warm (air, water, magma)rises because it is less dense
Cold airsinks
Latitudelines run east and west
Longitudelines run north and south
The closer the Contour Linesthe steeper the slope of the land
Countour lines form V's pointdownstream of rivers
Water Cycleincludes evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff
We have 2 high tidesand 2 low tides
Tides are caused bygravitiational pull of Earth, Moon, and Sun
Wavesmostly generated by wind
Weatherdescribes day-to-day changes
Climatedescribes long term weather patterns
Areas near the Equatorreceive the most isolation
High pressuresbring cool and dry weather
Low pressuresbring warm and wet
Two types of planetsInner and Outer
Inner Planet (rocky)Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars
Outer Planet (Gaseous)Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune
Venus' atmospheremostly CO2 and dense due to greenhouse effects
Cometsknown as dirty snowballs
Asteroidrocky or metallic iron objects
Apollo 11first manned landing on the moon
Neil Armstrongfirst man on the moon
a mineralfound in nature, inorganic, solid, with definite composition and structure
Oxygen and siliconmajor elements found in Earth's crust
Igneous rocksproduced by the cooling of magma or lava
Extrusivefast cooling
Intrusiveslow cooling
Metamorphic rocksformed by heat and pressure
Sedimentary Rocksformed from rock fragments, organic material, or chemical precipitation
Fossilsfound in layers of sedimentary rocks
