Latitude the distance from the equator that measures in degrees. TROPOSPHERE is the first layer in the atmosphere Longitude is the distance from the prime meridian, measured in degrees. STRATOSPHERE is the second layer in the atmosphere MESOSPHERE is the third layer in the atmosphere Insular this is the neighboring countries. THERMOSPHERE is the fourth layer in the atmosphere Vicinal this is the neighboring bodies of water. EXOSPHERE is the fifth layer in the atmosphere The great circle is prime meridian Meteors burn up in thelayer of Mesosphere to earth’s surface from being hit The imaginary line that split the Earth into northern part of the world and by most meteoriods. southern part of the world is called hemisphere In this layer, weather occurs troposhere Equator is the imaginary line around the planet between north pole and The exophere is the thinnest layer. Thickest (troposphere) In the stratosphere presence of ozone observed south pole Airplanes, clouds, and hot air balloon are in troposphere. The Most Common Minerals in the Philippines Aurora borealis is the northern light 1.Gold Aurora australis is the sourthen light 2. Copper Auroras can be found in thermosphere 3. Chromite Intertropical Convergence zone (ITCZ) is a low pressure zone where the 4. Platinum northeast trade winds and the southeast trade winds meet or converge 5. Gravel Weather is the atmospheric condition is a short period of time Igneous Rocks Sedimentary Rocks Metamorphic Rocks Climate is the atmospheric condition in a long period of time Basalt Breccia Marble Seasons is marked by particular weather. Gabbro Limestone Slate Monsoon is the prevailing seasonal winds Granite Shale Sea breeze- is the cool air from above the water then moves toward the land. Obsidian Siltstone Land breeze- The cool air from above the land then moves toward the water. Pumice Equinoxes- This is when the length of day and night is in equal (12 hours) Solstices- The sun reaches either its lowest or its highest point in the sky at Different Types of soil noon. Summer and Winter soltices s Laterite- This type of soil may form in countries with a hot and wet tropical climates Amihan- North East monsoon such as Philippines. Habagat- South west monsoon also bring significant amount of rainfall to our Pedocal- This type of soil has accumulated calcium carbonate through time. country Pedalfer- This soil is rich in iron oxide and aluminun. Umbra is the darkest part of the sun”s shadow. *Renewable resources can be used to generate renewable energy. Penumbra is the faint outer part of the sun’s shadow Renewable resources are those can be replenished through time Syzygy is the alignment of the Earth, sun and the moon with the earth Non-renewable resources are those that take long time to be replenished. Global warming is the phenomenon in which the average surface temperature of Earth increases.
