At what point is the tidal range at its greatest? Draw a picture to show the positions of the Earth, sun, and moon. What is a tidal bulge and how is it formed? What chemical reaction produces the sun’s energy? Energy is transferred from the Sun to Earth mainly by At the higher latitudes, there is a lower concentration of solar energy than at the equator. What does this mean? What type of heat transfer do we receive from the sun? a.) Radiation b.) Conduction c.) Convection d.) Electromagnetic rays Label the types of radiation (A-G) on the electromagnetic spectrum to the right. How does Earth’s atmosphere filter some of the electromagnetic radiation? How is solar energy essential to plants? How does the sun’s energy affect food webs on What is the difference in the heating of land and the heating of How does the earth’s magnetic field interact with space? How does it protect us from radiation? For these questions, respond with (A) Fission or (B) Fusion: 1. _____Nucleus of an atom is split into smaller parts 2. _____Two or more atomic nuclei join together 3. _____Emits radiation from the sun that warms the earth Geology (EEn 2.1) Diagram a simple continental and a simple oceanic subduction zone explaining the relation between earthquakes, and the formation of mountains by eruption of magmas formed from melting of ocean floor sediment.
