  1. UNIT 1 DYNAMIC EARTH AND BEYOND Beyond Earth • Tools of Astronomy • Electromagnetic Radiation • Satellites & Telescopes • Moon • Creation, Features, & Phases • The Space Race • Synergy of the Sun-Earth-Moon • Solstices and Equinoxes • Influences and Effects • Our Galaxy • Type • Location Within • Our Solar System • Terrestrial Planets • Gas Giants Science of the Earth • Parts of Earth Science • 4 Major Areas • 4 Major Systems • Dynamic Earth • Tornados, Tsunamis, & Earthquakes • Exacerbation and Mitigation Unit I: DYNAMIC EARTH AND BEYOND

  2. BEYOND EARTH TOOLS OF ASTRONMY LIGHT – Reaches Earth because it was Emitted from or Reflected off of distant objects • Only mechanism absent particles and fragments that have entered our atmosphere or been obtained via some form of sampling device • Commonly referred to as electromagnetic radiation • Electric and Magnetic disturbances traveling through space in waves • Goes beyond the realm of “visible” light that the human eye can detect • All are arranged according to their Wavelength, but can also be classified by Frequency Wavelengthis the distance between peaks of a wave, while Frequencyis the number of waves per second All based on the SPEED of Light C = λf C = speed of light, λ = wavelength, f = frequency All electromagnetic radiation has the same c (speed) Unit I: DYNAMIC EARTH AND BEYOND
