Theory of plate plate tectonic theory m. explains earths topography and more 1. What is the underlying mechanism for plate techtonics? n. Convection cells in mantle 12. 5 Plate Boundaries o. Divergent rifts, ridges, new oceanic crust p. Ocean-Continent volcanic view chains, trenches q. Ocean-Ocean volcanic island arcs, trenches r. Continent-Continent upfolded mountains s. Trans lick strike-slip faults 13. What is a hotspot? t. Where a plume of magma comes up and breaks the surface, spewing out lava u. Example Hawaiian islands 14. Explosive vs. blooping volcanoes v. Explosive w. Blooping 15. how do oceans and continents form? x. Oceans y. Continents 16.Where do most earthquakes and volcanoes occur? z. G QUIZ 4 temper 17. The two main components that affect climate . Temperature & precipitation 18. Rising stemma vs. Descending charge . Rising pipeline cools, holds less wet vapor, intercourse humidity increases, rain increase . Descending air h decimates, holds more remains of piddle vapor, relative humidity decreases, less rain 19. What is the dew point? . The temperature at which relative humidity ( water supply vapor increase) becomes 100% 20. What are 3 causes of precipitation? . Convection when air is heated and rises . Orographic when air rises as it is blown up the side of a mountain .Frontal when air rises as it is pushed up the leading edge of a frozen front 21. What 3 major factors affect temperatu re? . Elevation, latitude, and green signal gas concentration in atmosphere 22. What causes the seasons? . 23. 5 degree deliver and the revolution around sun, the angles it hits earth 23. What causes is to be cooler in the SW in winter and warmer in summer? . We are angle more perpendicular to the sun in the summer 24. List the 4 major causes of deserts . descending air in Hadley cells . rainshadow effect . cold ocean offshore . being far away from a water source 25. take a shit and define the levels of organization of the living world from organism by biome . Organism (individual living things) . Population (group of individuals of the same species occupying a given field of battle at the same time) . Community (all populations occupying a given place) . Ecosystem (community plus the bodily environment in a given place and their interactions) . Biome (major type of ecosystem) 26. Name and define the five parts of ecosystem structure . Energy Source (usually sunlight) . carna l Environment (non-living materials) . Producers (organisms that make their own food) Consumers (organisms that eat other living things) . Decomposers (organisms that eat waste matter and dead organisms) 27. What are the advantages and disadvantages of internalizing external cost? . Advantages airt economic growth in ways that consider long-term, societal impacts compensable real price lets market regulate. . Disadvantages difficult to determine external costs higher prices will allow competitors that dont internalize external costs to outcompete 28. secern between product and service prudence . Product economy focuses on putting out a product that is consumed. A service economy focuses on the service required by the consumer preferably than the product (e. g. , leasing rather than selling). 29. Soil profile * surface litter fresh and partly decomposed fundamental matter. * top crap where most living things and nutrients are. * zone of leaching where dissolved materials from h igher up move down. * subsoil accumulated materials from above. * parent material partially embarrassed down rock, source of minerals and inorganic material in soil. i. bedrock underlying, new rock. 30. Why are tropical soils not productive for growing crops/ kine in the long run? When vegetation is removed, the thin topsoil decomposes, leaches, and erodes quickly, exit the hard, red, iron-rich soil that is unproductive (and this only takes a few years) 31. DEFINE 0 unsaturated zone upper soil layer that holds both air and water 1 impregnation zone usually lower soil layer where all available pores between soil particles are fill with water 2 water table the top of the zone of saturation 3 aquifer groundwater that is economically retrievable 4 recharge area where water is added to an aquifer 5 discharge area where water is removed from an aquifer (e. g. , wells, springs, rivers, etc. 6 ground water mining removing water from an aquifer faster than it is replenished (discharge ra te greater than recharge rate). watershed the land area around a proboscis of water over which water could flow and potentially enter that body of water. 32. Problems with overpumping ground water . higher costs associated with digging deeper wells and pumping further up . lower water quality . loss of habitat . remitment as water is removed from ground, the soil compacts and the surface sinks which leads to permeneant loss of water holding capacity for aquifer . saltwater intrusion 33. 34. 35.
