Study Notes
- A volcano is a geological formation that ejects molten rock, ash, and gas from the Earth's surface.
- There are three types of volcanoes: shield, cinder cone, and composite.
- Volcanic eruptions can be classified into four types: Hawaiian, Strombolian, Vulcanian, and Plinian.
- Volcanic eruptions have both positive and negative impacts on the environment and society.
- Geothermal energy is heat generated within the Earth's core and mantle, which can be harnessed for electricity production and heating.
- Weather refers to short-term atmospheric conditions, while climate refers to long-term patterns.
- Climate change, caused by human activities, is a pressing environmental issue.
- Atmospheric conditions include temperature, pressure, humidity, and composition.
- The greenhouse effect helps regulate the Earth's temperature, but human activities have increased greenhouse gas concentrations.
- Stars are massive, luminous spheres of plasma, and constellations are recognizable patterns of stars in the night sky.
