Geography

yanalaym [24]3 years ago
5 0
Here are some 5 facts I find interesting

-Some people use the term lithosphere to describe the geosphere. Depending on the definition of geosphere (which is debated by scientists), lithosphere can mean the same thing.

-The geosphere includes everything that looks like solid ground, including the ocean floors, sand in the deserts, rocks, mountains and every bit of land or formation on the continents.

-Aristotle, the Greek philosopher who lived from 384 - 322 BC, considered the geosphere to include the motion of earth, water, fire, and air

-There are eight major tectonic plates making up the earth's geosphere. They are constantly moving, but usually only a few centimeters each year,

-Scientific study related to the earth's geosphere can be broken down into specific disciplines including those covered in geology, geography, geochemistry, geomorphology, geophysics, glaciology, mineralogy, petrology, and volcanology.

How does the movement of air affect the type of weather that forms from high-pressure and low-pressure systems?
Rom4ik [11]
Low pressure generally occurs in areas that are rainy and cloudy, whereas high pressure occurs in areas that are sunny and have mild temperatures. As air rises, it condenses into a low pressure, meaning clouds and rain. As air sinks, it creates a high pressure, meaning sunny.
