Study Notes

Emotions and Life Support

Different emotions include relaxed, happy, upset, sad, bored, chill, fulfilled, angry, sleepy, and not in the mood.
Evaluate properties of visuals that support life and their roles in organism survival.

Hypotheses on Solar System Origin

Big Bang Theory suggests the universe originated from a singularity with high temperature and density.
Bread-Raisin Model symbolizes the universe expanding with galaxies represented as raisins, which remain unchanged in distance.
Steady-State Theory proposes a universe that continuously expands, forming new stars while maintaining average density.
Oscillating Universe Theory combines expansion and contraction phases, leading back to a singularity.

Earth's Formation Theories

Accretion describes how gravity attracts matter to form planets, with homogeneous accretion explaining a layered Earth structure.
Homogeneous Accretion explains volatile elements' presence, but lacks in addressing certain elemental abundance.
Heterogeneous Accretion accounts for the density variations among terrestrial planets but faces criticism on accretion speed predictions.

Earth's Systems

Earth functions as an interconnected system with both open and closed options for matter and energy transfer.
Open systems exchange both energy and matter; closed systems only transfer energy.

Atmosphere Overview

Atmosphere derived from Greek; contains nitrogen (78.1%), oxygen (20.9%), argon (0.9%), and carbon dioxide (0.1%).
Comprises five layers: troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere, facilitating various weather and radiation absorption processes.

Troposphere Key Facts

Lowest atmosphere layer holds most clouds and weather phenomena.

Stratosphere Features

Contains ozone that absorbs UV light, converting it to heat.

Mesosphere

Coldest layer where most meteors burn up, reaching about -90° C.

Thermosphere

Absorbs high-energy radiation, causing extreme temperatures, and is home to auroras.

Exosphere and Earth's Shape

The exosphere represents the transition to outer space with thin air.
Earth is an oblate spheroid, not a perfect sphere.

Geosphere Composition

Comprises Earth's interior, rocks, minerals, and landforms.
Distinct layers include crust (solid), mantle (semi-fluid upper, liquid lower), and core (liquid outer, solid inner).

Hydrophere

Represents all of Earth's water and its distribution through the water cycle.

Biosphere

Encompasses all living organisms and their interactions with geological and hydrological systems, often referred to as the "zone of life."
Biomes categorized into aquatic, forest, desert, tundra, and grassland, each with unique ecological characteristics.

Rock and Mineral Properties

Luster describes the visual quality of mineral surfaces with types such as metallic and non-metallic.
Hardness measured by Mohs scale indicates mineral resistance to scratching; color and streak can aid identification but may mislead due to impurities.
Crystal form reflects the internal structure, while cleavage denotes the way minerals break along planes of weakness.

Chemical Bond Types

Types of bonds: covalent (strongest), ionic, and metallic (weakest), influencing mineral properties and reactions.
