ESS205H1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Atmospheric Convection, Stratopause, Tropopause
Document Summary
In higher temperature and warm climates the water vapour content grows higher and keeps the earth warm. // air circulation, which brings warmth: wind: movement of air from a high pressure area to a low pressure area. In the poles, the pressure is higher: therefore the air moves from pole to equator, weather and erosion, atmospheric changes affect the lithosphere, atmosphere changes due to geologic forces; lithosphere changes due to atmospheric forces (check slides) Chapter 12 the internal structure of the earth. The core the centre is the densest of the layer, which is divided into the inner core and the outer core. The pressure is so great that the iron is solid despite the high temperature. In the outer core: temperature and pressure are so balanced that the iron is molten and exists as a liquid even though the composition of the two cores are believe to be the same. Region at the edge of the outer core.
