Document Summary
Land surface temperature anomaly (temps in summer are high, winters are really low) Open systems- inputs of energy and matter, outputs of energy and matter. Example- photosynthesis (water, co2, sunlight) (carbo, oxygen, water) Open & closed systems energy and matter. Open system- inputs (matter and energy) the system operates on that matter and energy and creates an output. Albedo- when it"s really hot, people wear lighter clothing. North or south of equator (lines of latitude-- parrells) distance between the two are the same. Ex- equator, tropics- tropic of cancer (northern hemisphere), tropic of capa (southern hemisphere) Negative feedback puts the brakes on any change. Will get burnt from snow because the light energy is getting. Plants will suck co2 out of the atmosphere. The earth completes a rotation every 24 hours. Each hour the earth rotates 15 degrees (behind time) Sun- rises in the east, sets in the west.
