Q

What is the greenhouse effect?

A

Most of the sun’s rays are absorbed by the earth’s surface. Once the surface is heated, some infrared rays escape back into space. Greenhouse gases trap some infrared rays and send them back to earth, heating it’s surface even more.

A

Yes.

33
Q

What are tides caused by?

A

The gravitational pull of the moon and sun on the water s of earth.

34
Q

Which influences the earth’s tides more, moon or sun?

A

Moon since it’s closer to earth.

35
Q

What are examples of cons of an energy ressource?

A

Expensive, not green, not renewable, not suited for certain climates or areas.

36
Q

What are examples of pros of an energy ressource?

A

Green, renewable, low cost to produce, reduce dependance on oil and gas.

37
Q

What is low and high tide?

A

Low tide, when the water is low. High tide, when water levels are high.

41
Q

What is a consequence of melting pack ice?

A

Loss of habitat for animals.

42
Q

What is albedo?

A

Albedo is an expression of the ability of surfaces to reflect sunlight (heat from the sun).

43
Q

What is the cryosphere?

A

Layer made up of frozen water on earth.

44
Q

What is thermohaline?

A

Thermohaline circulation is a part of the large-scale ocean circulation that is driven by global density gradients created by surface heat and freshwater fluxes.

45
Q

What are surface currents caused by?

A

The winds.

46
Q

DO surface currents make water warmer or colder?

A

Warmer.

A

By the number of particles (mass) and agitation (temp)

63
Q

How is temperature determined?

A

It measures the ammount of agitation of susbstance (speed of movement)?

64
Q

What is the law of conservation of mass?

A

Matter cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed. What goes in must come out.
