Anderson, 2009. Ocean provinces. 3 major provinces. Continental margins. Shallow-water areas close to shore. Deep-ocean basins. Deep-water areas farther from land. Mid-ocean ridge. Submarine mountain range. On Monday and Tuesday…. We found the density of liquids and rocks. . We learned that denser materials sink, and lighter materials float.. We learned that granite is lighter than basalt and that iron is denser than both.. What is “pressure”, what is “density”, and how do we measure them?. Who contributed to our current ideas and theories about pressure?. Where can we see pressure measured on a daily basis?. Important Questions. What is a current?. 1. An Ocean Current . is a directed, continuous movement of ocean water generated by various forces.. 2. Currents are caused by various factors:. Temperature. Different salinity levels. PAGE 29. What do you see in this picture? . What type of landform is Florida? . How do you think this storm affected the weather in Florida?. L. A. M. E. C. O. W. S. Step One:. Label your foldable as shown on the right. 2. The denser the atmosphere…. the greater its weight, and . the greater its air pressure.. 3. atmospheric pressure -. . a.k.a. .; . barometric pressure or air pressure.. the pressure due to the weight of the overlying atmosphere.. Ch.5.1 Heat Transfer. page 155-159. Earth is a system made up of many parts.. The atmosphere is the envelope of gases that surrounds the planet. . The condition of Earth’s atmosphere at a particular time and place is . PES 1000 – Physics in Everyday Life. Macroscopic vs. Microscopic Quantities. We have been studying the motion of regular-sized (. macroscopic. ) objects. We know these objects are made up of countless atoms and molecules (. Earth/Space. S.W.B.A.T.. Explain how winds and the .
