GEOG 2050 Chapter : GEOG 1 2 3
Document Summary
Inner planets: sun on the left and first mercury, no atmosphere, sun boiled it off. Equator it is the equinox: causes an uneven distribution of energy around the earth, oblique rays, vertical rays, tropics of capricorn/ cancer. Key concepts: energy, earth"s energy budget, equilibrium. If the wavelength has more frequent ends then it is short, less it is long. Red is very long, purple is short: electromagnetic spectrum, everything to the left of visible light are long waves and everything to the right are short waves, longer wavelengths up to tens of miles. O2, h2o: h2o loves to react- solvent! Inert: doesnt react with other elements, e. g. Noble gases and n2 gas: noble gases, he, ar, kr, xe, and rn are inert gases, sources are radioactive decay (inside the earth and breaking down of other molecules) and formation of the solar system or supernova.
