  1. Today Wednesday 21AUG13 • Complete Unit 1 Section 4 Reading Guide • If you have not taken Section 1 or 2 Quiz, you will today. • PowerPoint Section 4 • Quiz Section 3 tomorrow, Thursday.

  2. Learning Targets: • I can describe transitions the Earth has gone through and scientific reasons why. • I can explain evidence from the deep past that is used to inform us about today’s conditions on Earth. • I can explain how the Earth’s geological carbon cycle acts as a thermostat.

  3. Unit 1 Section 4 Carbon Cycling and Earth’s Climate http://www.nexus-wallpaper.com/wallpaper/nature/seasons-tree/

  4. 34. Put the following in order (1,2,3,4) starting with what happened first. __4__ oceans were created __2__ planet’s surface cooled and solidified __1__ the rain of meteors and rock bodies from space ended __3__ water vapor in the atmosphere condensed and fell as rain http://www.hardydrew.com/motion-graphics/9184-videohive-item-ocean-storm-150981.html#.UhQYF4zD8eE

  5. Match the following terms to correct phase that describes each. Atmosphere water bodies Hydrosphere the solid part of the Earth Lithosphere layer of gases around the Earth http://gfl.usgs.gov/AtmosphericProcesses.shtml

  7. The Earth’s geochemical cycle is the flow of chemical substances between: a. Atmosphere b. Hydrosphere c. lithosphere http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ocean_Beach,_Northland,_New_Zealand.jpg

  8. 37. During the development of the Earth’s atmosphere, the temperatures remained within a moderate range because the carbon cycle includes a natural sink - a process that removes excess carbon from the atmosphere. http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=Carbon+Cycle+&qs=n&form=QBVR&pq=carbon+cycle+&sc=8-13&sp=-1&sk=#view=detail&mid=2F98C702530E8D8EEFF42F98C702530E8D8EEFF4 http://eschooltoday.com/ecosystems/the-carbon-cycle.html

  9. 38. The carbon cycle has 4 basic stages. Describe each stage. rainfall scrubs CO2 out of the air, producing carbonic acid (H2CO3), a weak acid. this solution reacts on contact with silicate rocks to release calcium and other cations and leave behind carbonate and bicarbonate ions dissolved in the water. This solution is washed into the oceans by rivers, and then calcium carbonate (CaCO3), also known as limestone, is precipitated in sediments. Over long time scales, oceanic crust containing limestone sediments is forced downward into Earth's mantle. Eventually, the limestone heats up and turns the limestone back into CO2, which travels back up to the surface with magma. Volcanic activity then returns CO2 to the atmosphere.

  10. 39. This balance between CO2outgassing from volcanoes and CO2 conversion to calcium carbonate through silicate weatheringhas kept the Earth's climate stable through most of its history. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=qFqbLO2wepA http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=volcanoes&qpvt=volcanoes&FORM=IGRE#view=detail&id=DDFAB4E65A15978BD955FAC2AC8A1FE33946DFC9&selectedIndex=37

  11. 40. Why is Venus a runaway greenhouse while the Earth has fluctuated but has adjusted? Venus has no water on its surface, so it has no medium to dissolve CO2, form carbonic acid, and react with silicate rocks. As a result volcanism on Venus continues to emit CO2 without any carbon sink, so it accumulates in the atmosphere. http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=venus&qs=n&form=QBIR&pq=venus&sc=8-3&sp=-1&sk=#view=detail&id=E3531CC5F263993340FD0F868ADCD5A6557D2F2D&selectedIndex=51
