Study Notes
Atmospheric Science
- The atmosphere is a crucial component of Earth's heat balance, absorbing solar radiation and maintaining temperatures
- The presence of ozone in the stratosphere leads to an increase in temperature with altitude due to the absorption of ultraviolet radiation
- The tropopause separates the troposphere and stratosphere
Pressure Belts
- Pressure belts are horizontal bands of atmospheric pressure that form around the Earth.
Winds
- Planetary winds are global wind patterns caused by pressure differences.
- Easterly winds blow from east to west.
- The atmosphere composes of gases like Nitrogen, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, and others.
Rainfall
- Convectional rainfall occurs when warm, moist air rises and cools, causing condensation and precipitation.
Temperature
- Temperature is influenced by factors like latitude, altitude, and wind patterns
Global Warming
- Global warming is caused by the increased amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which traps heat energy and increases the Earth's temperature.
Self-Esteem
- Love yourself: Embrace your uniqueness
- Engage in activities you enjoy
- Identify and acknowledge your positive traits
