Milankovitch - Samenvattingen, Aantekeningen en Examens

Climate - correct answer -Average weather patterns in a particular area over the course of a year Greenhouse gases - correct answer -Gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, water vapor, and ozone in the atmosphere which are involved in the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse effect - correct answer -1. Earth absorbs sunlight's energy. 2. The Earth also emits energy (helping it to cool down) 3. When this balance (radiative balance) is thrown out of whack by gases such as methane, t...

SCI 225 Exam 2 Study GuideAbsolute dating (radioisotopes) - correct answer putting a date on the age of fossils. Explain how the Milankovitch cycles influence climate - correct answer Eccentricity (shape of Earth's orbit) Circle orbit=ice age oval orbit= interglacial Obliquity (the magnitude of the tilt) low tilt= ice age high tilt=interglacial Precession (direction of tilt/wobble) When all three parameters are at their extremes we get ice ages. Describe geologic features in Mic...
