Document Summary
About landscape appreciation and understanding why landscapes look the way they do. Climatologists, bio-geographers, meteorologists, climatologists, hydrologists, glaciologists, zoogeographers. System any ordered, interrelated, set of things and their attributes, linked by flows of energy and matter, as distinct from the surrounding environment outside of the system. Any set of related events or objects and their interactions . Input some sort of interaction output. Open system inputs of energy and matter flow in and out of the system. Closed system system is shut off from surrounding environment so that energy and matter are self-contained. For a system to maintain a steady-state condition it must possess the capacity for self- regulation. Over ice-mass loss which increased melt-pond area. Result the response counters the initial variable. Steady state equilibrium a balance of energy and material over time, in which conditions are constant = a steady state condition. Dynamic equilibrium an imbalance of energy and material over time, in which conditions vary.
