- clouds
- there are 3 main types of cloud
- they are
- curcilus nimbus which are big and fluffy. they bring short heavy showers and form high in the sky.
- Stratus clouds are big blankets of cloud. they are low in the sky and only drizzle with rain.
- Curtis clouds they are thin whispy and verry high up. freezing because they. are made from ice cristals
- types of rainfall
- relph rainfall is when wind hits a mountain and on the windward side it is written but on the other side there is a rain shaddow which is a place which stays dry
- conventional rainfall is when the sun hears the ground causing water to evaporate. then condensation rises and starts to form clouds and when it hits due point it starts raining
- tecktonicks
- how the plates move.when the mantle gets heated it rises to the surface. when the rock gets near the crust itnstarts to harden an come back down.
- layers of the earth
- the crust is the layer we live on. this is sometimes called the skin of the earth
- the mantle forms around hard the earth. it is made from heavy rock.
- the core is mainly iorn. the outer core is luicuid and the inner core is solid
- type of plate
- collision plate boundary
- this boundary forms fold mountains
- this happens when to continental plates collide pushing matiriol upwards.
- the plates are the same density so they rise
- this produces earthquakes because the plates push against each other building up presure.
- districting plate boundary
- this is when an oseanic plate colored with a continental plate
- the osianick plate sinckes beneath the continental plate because it is more dense
- this forms a volcano because the friction of the plate sliding under causes friction with marked the volcano erupt. this friction can also cause earthquakes.
- Constructive plate boundary
- this is where two plates are pulling away from each other. then magma rises and cools to form a volcano
- small earthquakes happen due to the lava wanting to rise
- any plates can pull apart from others
- conservative plate boundary
- this occurs when two plates slide next to each other in opposite directions or even sometimes in the same direction but at different speeds
- the friction is stored untill it cannot hold Koreans is emptied in the form of a earthquake.
- Volcanoes
- shield and composit volcanos
- shield
- less explosive eroptions
- the lava is very watery
- more frequent erouptions
- found at constructive plate boundaries
- composite
- explosive eroptions
- the magma and lava is thicker
- eruptions are rare
- found at destructive plate boundaries
- super volcanoes
- the name 'super volcanoes' were first used in a dockumentary
- there are 7 super volcanoes in the world
- rainforests
- layers
- the emerjent
- canopy
- under story
- shrub layer
- climate in the rainforest
- humid because of rainfall
- very hot
- it is hot because it is near the equator
- deforestation
- the big trees Macke it an ideal place to harvest wood
- it kills animals by tackeing away their homes
- weather and climate
