GEOG 2050 Lecture : 3 GEOG Notes
Document Summary
As a planet forms, water from within comes to the surface and outgasses: outgassing- continuing process where water/water vapor emerge from layers deep within and below the earth"s crust, ex: yellowstone. Even though most common compound, it exhibits 2 uncommon properties: hydrogen bonding, creates surface tension, causes capillarity, water"s attraction to itself, water"s attraction to things. Heat properties: ice, solid phase, water, liquid phase, water vapor, gas phase, evaporation, condensation, sublimation, evaporation, liquid to water vapor, condensation, water vapor to liquid, sublimation. Refers to the amount of water vapor in the air: many ways to estimate, 1. Step one: an air parcel is : warm: low density, cold: higher density. Step two: 2 opposing forces: upward buoyant force, downward gravitational force. O conditionally unstable- dar > elr > mar. O stable- dar & mar > elr. Starting temperature, you will rise to 1000m and you will figure out what your new temp.
