Test strategies Usually, 1 or 2 answers that are totally incorrect, and then 1 that might sound like it is correct but is not. Studying thoroughly allows you to distinguish between the answer that looks correct and the answer that is correct. Because of the above TAKE YOUR TIME! Don t rush through it, because you may get tripped up by those answers that look correct but are not. ALWAYS put an answer. 25% chance you will get it right by guessing.
In-class activity Imagine you are the professor, post a multiple-choice question. This trains you to anticipate the types of questions, so you can focus on what to study Gets you into that type of thinking
An introduction to science Global climate change Environmental change Properties of scientific models The best scientific model Useful scientific model The steps of a scientific study
An introduction to systems System Atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, biosphere Component Coupled system System diagram Negative coupling Positive feedback system Negative feedback system Equilibrium Stable equilibrium state Unstable equilibrium state
Global energy balance Photon Energy from a particle perspective The relationship between wavelength and frequency Planck function Energy flux The energy emitted by Earth compared with that by Sun Albedo Albedo for some surfaces Incoming solar radiation (insolation) Net radiation
Energy balance and the greenhouse effect Movement of heat (energy transfer) Urban heat island Troposphere Stratosphere The mechanism by which greenhouse gas molecules absorb energy The radiation greenhouse gases absorb, and the radiation greenhouse gases emit Greenhouse gases Clouds and energy Earth s energy balance Greenhouse effect
Atmospheric and Oceanic Circulation Coriolis force Wind patterns generated by the air pressure zones Westerly winds The Earth s Ocean Ocean surface currents Vertical structures of ocean temperature, salinity, and density
