GG101 Study Guide - Surface Tension, Cubic Metre, Hydrolysis
Document Summary
Developed from classical era mathematics, literature and cartography. A discipline with well developed body of theory coupled with a well developed body of theory coupled to techniques and approaches to solving real world problems. Movement and processes (changes over space and time) A system is a model or representation of a portion of the natural and human landscape. Systems have boundaries ( superficially created by humans for analysis) Open system has transfers of matter and/or energy with the surroundings. Closed system isolated, no exchange of matter or energy. Feedbacks change in a system that causes another change (example fig 1. 1. 1) Thresholds and equilibrium barriers of change (fig 1. 5) Shape of the earth geodesy (science of measurement of the shape of the earth and its magnetic field) Great circles line traced through the centre of the surface of the earth(fig 1-14) Small circles line traced on the surface of the earth not through the centre creating unequal portions (fig 1. 16)
