Discussion Question: Climate Change A+
The link below explains how scientists study past climates. After the introduction, there are 6 more links within the web page. Please go
over each of the six links. Then, write one paragraph about each link explaining what you learned in your own voice. You should end up
with 6 paragraphs total.

Please always write in your own words and hence, your own voice. Plagiarism is completely unnecessary.
1. List the five REASONS for seasons. Please be careful. I am not looking for INFLUENCES on
seasons such as, Global Warming and winds. Think about axial parallelism, for example. (20
points).
2. Are we closest to the sun during the Northern Hemisphere summer or winter (5 points)? Is it
called the aphelion or the perihelion (5 points)?
3. When does everyone receive 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night (5 points)?
4. During what Northern Hemisphere season do the penguins in Antarctica (the Southern
Hemisphere) receive 24 hours of darkness (5 points)?
5. The water molecule is polar with two offset hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom.
What are two characteristics or properties of the water molecule due to its polarity (10 points)?
6. The dew point temperature is 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Relative humidity is at 50%. Saturation
vapor pressure is 24 millibars. What is the actual vapor pressure in the air in units of millibars?
It is not a trick question. Look in the textbook under…

An understanding of the Earth's systems and spheres takes practice. More importantly, we can see the "Domino Effect" of the spheres as they interact with one another. We have learned that while endogenic processes are separate from exogenic process, the lithosphere affects the atmosphere which affects the hydrosphere, and the biosphere.
