Document Summary
Limestone: rock that dissolves with the presence of water. Permafrost: soil with a mean annual temperature below zero. Wind chill: how a cold temp feels on human skin. Windshere: changing wind speed or direction over distance. Enhanced fujita scale: classified tonradoes based on damage. Acid precipitation: slows tree growth and erodes materials. Typhoon: a tropical cyclone over the western pacific. Tropical disturbance: the first stage of a tropical cyclone. Kyoto protocol: big world wise agreement aimed to slow climate change. Climate model: used to forecast the advance and retreat of continental ice sheets may be partially explained by : Comet: originates in the kuiper belt (beyond neptune) Manicouagan crater: looks like a ringed lake in central quebec. Chicxulub crater: located in the yucatan _____ in mexico. Solar nebula: flattened cloud of gas and dust. Ejecta blanket: a layer of breccia surrounded the crater.
