WA, Describe wave refraction, seiche (standing waves in enclosed or semi-enclosed
bodies), and resonance; how do these affect the coast and people?
Give this one a try later!
, Seiche:
-a resonant wave in a body of water caused by a disturbance by wind or
seismic activity
-Water sloshes back and forth withing water body, wave racing between
opposing shores
-Period varies from few seconds to several hours, depending on the size of
the water body and the complexity of the water body itself and its
shoreline (Larger bodies of water have longer periods)
-Heights can range from a few cm to several meters
-Called slosh on great lakes, always present but small
-Can be observed when tsunami enters semi-enclosed body
EX, List some of the major impact features preserved on the Earth's surface and
explain why impact craters appear to be rare on Earth
Give this one a try later!
-Manicougan impact crater in northern Quebec: 214 million years ago in the
Late Triassic, 70 km in diameter but was probably as wide as 100 km before
glacial erosion stripped away the upper levels
-Associated with 4 others (around same time) including Saint Martin Crater
in Manitoba (40 km in diameter) and the Rochechouart Crater in France (25
km in diameter)
-Reassemble continents to late triassic times
EX, Identify important historical figures in the development of stratigraphy and
biostratigraphy Archbishop of Armagh, James Ussher
Give this one a try later!
, -(1581 - 1665):
-calculated the Earth to be 6,000 years old by adding up all the dates
mentioned in the Bible. -He arrived at a date of October 22, 4004 BC as the
date of the creation of planet Earth
ST, identify atmospheric layers
and explain how they relate to storms
Give this one a try later!
Solar energy is absorbed at 3 different heights:
-top (THERMOSPHERE), absorption of non-visible light
-Middle (STRATOSPHERE), absorption of UV by good
ozone
-Bottom (EARTH SURFACE), light shines and heats ground,
ground heats air in troposphere (bottom 11km) and powers
storms
describe hail hazards, locations and times of greatest risk, and appropriate safety
procedures
Give this one a try later!
-occur in late afternoon/evening
HAZARDS: injury/death, dent metal, break windows, flatten crops, kill
livestock
SAFETY: Safety glasses in case it breaks windows in car, If possible turn
away from storm and drive away, Stay under something for protection
-Riskiest hail location: Oklaholma, In Canada, Alberta (Red Deer)
, ST, explain how solar energy can get into the atmosphere to
power storms
Give this one a try later!
-warm ground warms air (sensible heat) which increases temp, and
evaporates water (latent heat) to increase humidity
-temperature and humidity are the fuel for storms!!
-Thunderstorm threshold: Time around sunset, late afternoon early evening
is most likely
EX, Identify important historical figures in the development of stratigraphy and
biostratigraphy James Hutton
Give this one a try later!
Scottish geologist; used cross cutting relationships in Earth age studies
ST, explain tornado hazards and safety procedures, and times and locations of
greatest risk.
Give this one a try later!
-Usually move SW to NE in north America
-Rotational speeds are much faster than translation (Cause the damage)
-Short lived, narrow damage path (less than 1km wide and 100km long)
-Greatest frequency in southern Ontario
