Eddies- Describe the many ways that eddies might occur. Understand the distinction between warm-core and cold-core eddies. Learn how eddies contribute to the transfer of water masses and organisms. Understand how eddies may lead to varying patterns of convergence and divergence, which affects ocean production.
It is estimated that the global CO2 emission in 2014 was 35.9 Giga Tonnes(CO2.earth 2). If this emission rate continued, in what year will the amount of CO2 in the air
double, based on our crude atmospheric model? Round to the nearest integer. (Hint: Build the equation by setting the time elapsed as x)
O 5 year
O 120 years
O 12
O 12 million years

- Why are we concerned about the increases in CO2 and other gases that cause the greenhouse effect in Earth’s atmosphere? What steps can we take in the future to reduce the levels of CO2 in our atmosphere? What factors stand in the way of taking the steps you suggest? (You may include technological, economic, and political factors in your answer.)arrow_forwardSuppose a major impact that produces a mass extinction takes place on Earth once every 5 million years. Suppose further that if such an event occurred today, you and most other humans would be killed (this would be true even if the human species as a whole survived). Such impact events are random, and one could take place at any time. Calculate the probability that such an impact will occur within the next 50 years (within your lifetime).arrow_forwardWhat are Earth’s core and mantle made of? Explain how we know.arrow_forward

Why is the surface tension also called surface energy?arrow_forwardCO2 and planetary warming: understanding Earth’s complicated atmosphere Mars has an atmospheric pressure of 6 mbar (compared with Earth atmosphere pressure of 1013 mbar), 96% of which is CO2. The average calculated temperature of Mars is -57°C, whereas the actual average temperature is -55°C so that the amount of warming due to CO2 is only 2°C. On the other hand, the average calculated temperature of Earth, with 0.4 mbar of CO2, is -19°C, whereas the actual average temperature is 15°C so that the amount of warming due to CO2 is 34°C, much greater than that on Mars, which has higher CO2 concentration. Explain how this is possible.arrow_forward
