Ionosphere is ionized by solar radiation and is good conductor
Reflects radio waves in the AM range, but transparent to FM and TV
Ozone layer is between ionosphere and mesosphere; absorbs ultraviolet radiation
![Page 8: Chapter 7 Earth. 7.1 Overall Structure of Planet Earth 7.2 Earth’s Atmosphere Why Is the Sky Blue? The Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming 7.3 Earth’s.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ee65503460f94bf6a95/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Surface heating:
• Sunlight that is not reflected is absorbed by Earth’s surface, warming it
• Surface re-radiates as infrared thermal radiation
• Atmosphere absorbs some infrared, causing further heating

This is known as the greenhouse effect
![Page 10: Chapter 7 Earth. 7.1 Overall Structure of Planet Earth 7.2 Earth’s Atmosphere Why Is the Sky Blue? The Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming 7.3 Earth’s.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ee65503460f94bf6a95/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
History of Earth’s atmosphere:
• Primary atmosphere was hydrogen, helium; this escaped Earth’s gravity
• Secondary atmosphere, from volcanic activity, mostly nitrogen
• Life appeared, creating atmospheric oxygen

Discovery 7-1: The Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming
One result of modern society has been to increase CO2 levels in the atmosphere. A corresponding increase in global average temperature has been seen as well. Exactly how much the temperature will continue to increase is not known.
![Page 12: Chapter 7 Earth. 7.1 Overall Structure of Planet Earth 7.2 Earth’s Atmosphere Why Is the Sky Blue? The Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming 7.3 Earth’s.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ee65503460f94bf6a95/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Discovery 7-1: The GreenhouseEffect and Global Warming
Some possible consequences of global warming:
• Rise in sea level
• More severe weather
• Crop failures (as climate zones change)
• Expansion of deserts
• Spread of tropical diseases away from the tropics

We can use the pattern of reflections during earthquakes to deduce the interior structure of Earth
![Page 14: Chapter 7 Earth. 7.1 Overall Structure of Planet Earth 7.2 Earth’s Atmosphere Why Is the Sky Blue? The Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming 7.3 Earth’s.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ee65503460f94bf6a95/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Currently accepted model

Mantle is much less dense than core
Mantle is rocky; core is metallic—iron and nickel
Outer core is liquid; inner core is solid, due to pressure
Volcanic lava comes from mantle, allows analysis of composition
![Page 16: Chapter 7 Earth. 7.1 Overall Structure of Planet Earth 7.2 Earth’s Atmosphere Why Is the Sky Blue? The Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming 7.3 Earth’s.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ee65503460f94bf6a95/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
History: Earth was probably molten when formed and remelted due to bombardment by space debris. Heavier materials sank to the center. Radioactivity provides a continuing source of heat.
![Page 17: Chapter 7 Earth. 7.1 Overall Structure of Planet Earth 7.2 Earth’s Atmosphere Why Is the Sky Blue? The Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming 7.3 Earth’s.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ee65503460f94bf6a95/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
More Precisely 7-2: Radioactive Dating
The number of protons in an atom’s nucleus determines which element it is. However, there may be different isotopes of the same element, with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Many of these isotopes are unstable and undergo radioactive decay. This decay is characterized by a half-life T:
Fraction of material remaining = (1/2)t/T
![Page 18: Chapter 7 Earth. 7.1 Overall Structure of Planet Earth 7.2 Earth’s Atmosphere Why Is the Sky Blue? The Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming 7.3 Earth’s.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ee65503460f94bf6a95/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
More Precisely 7-2:Radioactive Dating
Half-lives have been measured in the laboratory for almost all known isotopes. Knowing these, we can use them for determining the age of samples by looking at isotope ratios.
The most useful isotope for dating rock samples is uranium-238, which has a half-life of 4.5 billion years, comparable to the age of the Earth.
![Page 19: Chapter 7 Earth. 7.1 Overall Structure of Planet Earth 7.2 Earth’s Atmosphere Why Is the Sky Blue? The Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming 7.3 Earth’s.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ee65503460f94bf6a95/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
More Precisely 7-2: Radioactive Dating
This plot shows the fraction of the original sample remaining as a function of time
![Page 20: Chapter 7 Earth. 7.1 Overall Structure of Planet Earth 7.2 Earth’s Atmosphere Why Is the Sky Blue? The Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming 7.3 Earth’s.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ee65503460f94bf6a95/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
More Precisely 7-2:Radioactive Dating
The dating process involves measuring the ratio between the parent nucleus and the daughter nucleus (lead-206 in the case of uranium-238)
![Page 21: Chapter 7 Earth. 7.1 Overall Structure of Planet Earth 7.2 Earth’s Atmosphere Why Is the Sky Blue? The Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming 7.3 Earth’s.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ee65503460f94bf6a95/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Continental drift: Entire Earth’s surface is covered with crustal plates, which can move independently
7.4 Surface Activity
![Page 22: Chapter 7 Earth. 7.1 Overall Structure of Planet Earth 7.2 Earth’s Atmosphere Why Is the Sky Blue? The Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming 7.3 Earth’s.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ee65503460f94bf6a95/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
At plate boundaries, earthquakes and volcanoes occur
![Page 23: Chapter 7 Earth. 7.1 Overall Structure of Planet Earth 7.2 Earth’s Atmosphere Why Is the Sky Blue? The Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming 7.3 Earth’s.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ee65503460f94bf6a95/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Earth’s upper mantle, near a plate boundary; this is a subduction zone, where one plate slides below another
![Page 24: Chapter 7 Earth. 7.1 Overall Structure of Planet Earth 7.2 Earth’s Atmosphere Why Is the Sky Blue? The Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming 7.3 Earth’s.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ee65503460f94bf6a95/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
A plate colliding with another can also raise it, resulting in very high mountains
![Page 25: Chapter 7 Earth. 7.1 Overall Structure of Planet Earth 7.2 Earth’s Atmosphere Why Is the Sky Blue? The Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming 7.3 Earth’s.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ee65503460f94bf6a95/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Plates can also slide along each other, creating faults where many earthquakes occur
![Page 26: Chapter 7 Earth. 7.1 Overall Structure of Planet Earth 7.2 Earth’s Atmosphere Why Is the Sky Blue? The Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming 7.3 Earth’s.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ee65503460f94bf6a95/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Finally, plates can move away from each other, creating rifts
![Page 27: Chapter 7 Earth. 7.1 Overall Structure of Planet Earth 7.2 Earth’s Atmosphere Why Is the Sky Blue? The Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming 7.3 Earth’s.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ee65503460f94bf6a95/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The new crust created at rift zones preserves the magnetic field present at the time it solidified. From this, we can tell that field reversals occur about every 500,000 years.
![Page 28: Chapter 7 Earth. 7.1 Overall Structure of Planet Earth 7.2 Earth’s Atmosphere Why Is the Sky Blue? The Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming 7.3 Earth’s.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ee65503460f94bf6a95/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Plate motion is driven by convection
![Page 29: Chapter 7 Earth. 7.1 Overall Structure of Planet Earth 7.2 Earth’s Atmosphere Why Is the Sky Blue? The Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming 7.3 Earth’s.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ee65503460f94bf6a95/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
If we follow the continental drift backward, the continents merge into one, called Pangaea
![Page 30: Chapter 7 Earth. 7.1 Overall Structure of Planet Earth 7.2 Earth’s Atmosphere Why Is the Sky Blue? The Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming 7.3 Earth’s.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ee65503460f94bf6a95/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The magnetosphere is the region around the Earth where charged particles from the solar wind are trapped
7.5 Earth’s Magnetosphere
![Page 31: Chapter 7 Earth. 7.1 Overall Structure of Planet Earth 7.2 Earth’s Atmosphere Why Is the Sky Blue? The Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming 7.3 Earth’s.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ee65503460f94bf6a95/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
These charged particles are trapped in areas called the Van Allen belts, where they spiral around the magnetic field lines
![Page 32: Chapter 7 Earth. 7.1 Overall Structure of Planet Earth 7.2 Earth’s Atmosphere Why Is the Sky Blue? The Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming 7.3 Earth’s.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ee65503460f94bf6a95/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Near the poles, the Van Allen belts intersect the atmosphere. The charged particles can escape; when they do, they create glowing light called aurorae.
![Page 33: Chapter 7 Earth. 7.1 Overall Structure of Planet Earth 7.2 Earth’s Atmosphere Why Is the Sky Blue? The Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming 7.3 Earth’s.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ee65503460f94bf6a95/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Tides are due to the gravitational force on Earth from Moon—force on the near side of Earth is greater than force on the far side. Water can flow freely in response.
7.6 The Tides
![Page 34: Chapter 7 Earth. 7.1 Overall Structure of Planet Earth 7.2 Earth’s Atmosphere Why Is the Sky Blue? The Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming 7.3 Earth’s.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ee65503460f94bf6a95/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The Sun has less effect because it is farther away, but it does modify the lunar tides
![Page 35: Chapter 7 Earth. 7.1 Overall Structure of Planet Earth 7.2 Earth’s Atmosphere Why Is the Sky Blue? The Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming 7.3 Earth’s.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ee65503460f94bf6a95/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Tides tend to exert a “drag” force on the Earth, slowing its rotation.
This will continue until the Earth rotates synchronously with the Moon, so that the same side of the Earth always points toward the Moon.
