What are the 5 main Fields for E&S Science |
GAMOH or Geology, Astronomy, Meteorology, Oceanography, Hydrology |
|
|
4 Types of Spheres |
hydrosphere(Liquid), lithosphere (Space),biosphere (Living), atmosphere (Gass) |
|
|
Shape of Earth, Is it Flat, What is a Horizontal/Vertical and are all vertical lines around the world parallel |
Oblate Spheroid, No, Horizontal line is a light going upwards with the Y axis and Vertical line is a line going across the X axis and Yes |
|
|
What is the shape of a wave, and what are wavelength and frequency? and units for each |
Shape of wave is a teardrop, Wavelength is the distance between the crest of the wave, and frequency is the repeating event per unit and the unit is meters |
|
|
What is waves capable of doing. (Examples) and What type of light waves are important |
Capable of warming air, transferring music or transferring things in general and the most important lights are inferred to warm us and also viable light to produce photosynthesis |
|
|
What is the mathematical relationship among frequency wavelength and speed of light and what light travels fastest in which media |
Speed of light= Frequency x Wavelength and they travel the fastest in air than rather in water |
|
|
what is a spectroscope and what do emissions and abortion |
spectroscope is an observing a spectrum of light or radiation from any source and they determine the length of each color wave |
|
|
the light waves that make up the electromagnetic spectrum (in order) and longest wavelength and shortest wavelength and primary source for all this |
Radio waves, Microwaves, Infered, Visable, Ultraviolet, X rays, Gamma Rays and most length is microwaves and least length is gamma rays and primary source is stars and galaxies |
|
|
What is a light year and the measure of |
The amount of time it takes for light to travel in space, travels in 300,000 kilometers |
|
|
what does the universe include |
Life things, Planets, stars and galaxies |
|
|
what is red shift |
The way astronomers use to tell distance of an object and that is very far away from the universe |
|
|
Define Big Bang. when did it occur |
Is how people believe the earth was formed and it happened around 13.7 billion years ago |
|
|
3 types of evidence the big bang occured |
1- universe is explanding 2- the amount of elements 3-cosmic microwave background radiation |
|
|
theory |
an educated guesss |
|
|
What type of energy does a stars fusion produce |
helium, hydrogen |
|
|
what man made device produces similar conditions to star fusion |
Vehicles, mainly through the fuel they produce |
|
|
What is an HR graph |
tool astronomers use to classify stars according to color, temperature and type |
|
|
Why is there a pattern in the HR graph |
because most of the stars fall in the category in the same temp and brightness |
|
|
what type of stars only produce helium all their lives |
main seqence stars |
|
|
what type of stars produce elements like iron |
red supergiants |
|
|
key steps in a life cycle of a sun like star |
nublea- prostar-main sequence-red giant-planitary nublea-white dwarf |
