    Earth's systems interact through internal and external heat transfer processes which shape landscapes over time. Heat is a form of energy created by molecular vibration, and is transferred from warmer to cooler objects via processes like ocean currents. The Earth is composed of layers including the inner and outer core, mantle, and crust. Tectonic plates move atop convection currents in the mantle, interacting at divergent, convergent, and transform boundaries which cause volcanoes and earthquakes. The rock cycle illustrates the formation of different rock types through igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic processes influenced by weathering, erosion, and plate tectonics.

    1:18-2:25 and answer questions 1 and
    2.

    Thermal energy always moves from


    warmer to cooler objects.
    Heat is the result of molecules
    vibrating quickly.
    Heat is moving energy.

    The movement of a substance that is


    caused by differences in temperature and
    density.
    EXAMPLES: Ocean Currents,
    Warm equatorial currents flow toward the
    poles, while polar currents flow towards
    the equator

    ASTRONOMY Space: The


    Final Frontier!
    Rotationthe Earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours.

    RevolutionEarths elliptical orbit around the Sun in 365


    days.

    Seasons
    The angle of the Suns rays as they hit the Earth is
    determined by the relative positions of Sun and Earth

    Sun, Earth, and Moon

    The Moon orbits


    the Earth
    The Moon orbit at
    an angle with
    respect to the
    Earths orbit
    around the Sun
    The Moon doesnt
    shine on its own;
    it reflects
    sunlight
    The scale of the
    Moon and Earths

    The Sun shines on


    the Moon.
    When the
    sunlight
    reflects off
    the Moons far
    side, we call
    it a New Moon
    When the
    sunlight
    reflects off on
    the Moons near
    side, we call
    it a Full Moon

    Phases of the Moon

    What are Tides?


    They are the regular rise and fall in sea level on the
    Earth resulting from the gravitational pull of the Moon
    and Sun on Earths waters.

    Lunar Eclipses

    When the Earths shadow covers the Moon, we have a lunar eclipse
