Create a Concept map of: Earth’s systems: hydrosphere, atmosphere, geosphere, biosphere - Define these systems and provide examples of what each sphere consists of
Create a Concept map of:
- Earth’s systems: hydrosphere, atmosphere, geosphere, biosphere
- Define these systems and provide examples of what each sphere consists of
- Examples of interactions between systems
- Describe specific instances of interactions between different systems
- Negative and positive feedback loops
- Explain the difference between negative and positive feedback loops and relevant examples of
- Energy flow and matter cycles
- Explain how is energy transferred through the difference systems and how is matter finite and recycled through the Earth’s systems
- Matter cycles : hydrologic cycle, carbon cycle (reservoirs and processes)
- Outline the main reservoirs/stores of water and carbon and the processes that move water and carbon between them
- Greenhouse effect
- Explain the importance of an atmosphere in terms of energy and the role that greenhouse gases play in this effect
- Human impacts on processes and stores of water cycle and carbon cycle
- Describe specific examples of ways that humans disrupt the balance of water and carbon cycle processes and stores (cause & effect)
- Albedo effect and climate change
- Explain the albedo effect and its role in climate change
- Ocean acidification: causes and effects
- Describe the cause and effect of ocean acidification and solutions
- Atmospheric composition and effects
- Outline the characteristics and composition of the Earth’s atmosphere and how it affects our climate; compare it to our neighboring planets
- Seasonal trends in carbon dioxide and outcomes
- Use evidence to describe changes in carbon dioxide levels in our atmosphere caused by both natural processes and human activity
