Study Notes
Equatorial Circumference of the Earth
- The equatorial circumference of the Earth is approximately 40,075 kilometers (24,901 miles).
Renewable Resource
- An example of a renewable resource is solar energy, as it can be replenished naturally.
Non-Renewable Resource
- An example of a non-renewable resource is coal, which cannot be replenished on a human timescale once extracted.
El Niño Phenomenon
- El Niño is primarily caused by the warming of the Pacific Ocean's surface waters, affecting global weather patterns.
- The phenomenon disrupts normal weather conditions, leading to increased rainfall in some areas and droughts in others.
Atmosphere and UV Protection
- The stratosphere is the layer of the atmosphere responsible for protecting life on Earth from the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This protection is mainly provided by the ozone layer located within the stratosphere.
