Vapor, CO2, Methane, other
• Atmospheric Pressure– pressure exerted by atmosphere
• Warming– Sun - solar constant is not really constant– greenhouse effect
• warming due to the transparency of a substance to radiation at visible wavelengths and opacity to infrared radiation

The Greenhouse Effect• Solar energy is the
energy source for the atmosphere
• In the greenhouse effect, some of this energy is trapped by infrared absorbing gases in the atmosphere, raising the Earth’s surface temperature above what it would be if there was no greenhouse effect

Mountains
• “elevated parts of the Earth’s crust that rise abruptly above the surrounding surface”
• Causes– folding, faulting,
volcanic activity

Earthquakes
• Defined as “quaking, shaking, vibrating, or upheaval of the ground”
• Earthquake causes– elastic rebound
theory
• Intensity measure– Richter Magnitude
• not linear scale
