Mapping the Earth

• Recognize, Interpret, & Create models of Earth’s Features with Mapping.

Topographic Maps show the elevation of an area of land using contour lines.

Earth’s StructureThe Layers of the Earth

Crust- Solid, Oceanic & Continental

Mantle- Largest Layer with lithosphere & asthenosphere; convection currents

Outer Core- Liquid Molten Metal

Inner Core- Dense; Solid; Iron

Heat Transfer• Heat moves in predictable ways

from warm objects to cooler objects

• Heat Energy Moves in 3 ways:• Conduction• Convection• Radiation

Page 7: Mrs. McCarthy’s MCAS Review Earth Science 7 th Grade Curriculum –Mapping the Earth –Earth’s Structure –Heat Transfer –Earth’s History –The Earth in the

Conduction :occurs Conduction :occurs when energy is when energy is passed directly from passed directly from one item to anotherone item to another

Page 8: Mrs. McCarthy’s MCAS Review Earth Science 7 th Grade Curriculum –Mapping the Earth –Earth’s Structure –Heat Transfer –Earth’s History –The Earth in the

ConvectionConvection : movement of

gases or liquids from a cooler spot to a warmer spot.

Examples- Air Masses, Earth’s Mantle; Ocean

ConvectionConvection : movement of FLUIDS (GAS OR LIQUID)

from a coolercooler spot to a warmerwarmer spot.

Radiation :The sun's rays travel in straight lines called heat rays. When sunlight hits the earth, its radiation is absorbed or reflected.

Darker surfaces absorb more of the radiation and lighter surfaces reflect the

radiation.

What are the 3 major factors that effect a region’s climate?

Page 12: Mrs. McCarthy’s MCAS Review Earth Science 7 th Grade Curriculum –Mapping the Earth –Earth’s Structure –Heat Transfer –Earth’s History –The Earth in the

1. Latitude

• Locations closer to Earth’s equator will be warmer

• Locations closer to Earth’s poles will be cooler

Page 13: Mrs. McCarthy’s MCAS Review Earth Science 7 th Grade Curriculum –Mapping the Earth –Earth’s Structure –Heat Transfer –Earth’s History –The Earth in the

2. Elevation

• Higher elevations such as mountain peaks will be cooler than low elevations such as valleys

Page 14: Mrs. McCarthy’s MCAS Review Earth Science 7 th Grade Curriculum –Mapping the Earth –Earth’s Structure –Heat Transfer –Earth’s History –The Earth in the

3. Distance to Coast• Coastal regions near Earth’s oceans will

be effected by water temperature and ocean breezes

• Why?: Because water holds its temperature longer than air and land

Example: Cape Cod is usually warmer than the rest of Massachusetts in the winter and cooler in the summer because it is surrounded by ocean water.

Earth’s History

Millions of years ago all of Earth’s land masses were together in one large super continent called Pangaea.

Over time Pangaea spread apart due to continental drift and sea-floor spreading.

Today, we have 7 continents on Earth.

Page 16: Mrs. McCarthy’s MCAS Review Earth Science 7 th Grade Curriculum –Mapping the Earth –Earth’s Structure –Heat Transfer –Earth’s History –The Earth in the

EvidenceEvidence of the Continental Drift Theory

include:• Physical Evidence (Puzzle-like Continents)

• Fossil Evidence

• Glacial Evidence

• Climate Evidence

• Plant Evidence

America

The Changing Surface• In addition to plate tectonics, Earth’s

surface is ever changing due to:

–Earthquakes

–Volcanoes–Weathering, Erosion & Deposition

Page 18: Mrs. McCarthy’s MCAS Review Earth Science 7 th Grade Curriculum –Mapping the Earth –Earth’s Structure –Heat Transfer –Earth’s History –The Earth in the

• Earthquakes occur when Earth’s plates shift and cause shaking on the surface

• Most Earthquakes occur at Plate Boundaries

Page 19: Mrs. McCarthy’s MCAS Review Earth Science 7 th Grade Curriculum –Mapping the Earth –Earth’s Structure –Heat Transfer –Earth’s History –The Earth in the

• A Tsunami is a tidal wave in the ocean caused by tectonic (Earthquake) movement of Earth’s plates.

Page 20: Mrs. McCarthy’s MCAS Review Earth Science 7 th Grade Curriculum –Mapping the Earth –Earth’s Structure –Heat Transfer –Earth’s History –The Earth in the

Most volcanoes form at plate boundaries

• Diverging- mid ocean ridge, rift valley

• Converging- island arcs/ Mt. St. Helens

• Hot spots- not on a boundary- Hawaii

Page 21: Mrs. McCarthy’s MCAS Review Earth Science 7 th Grade Curriculum –Mapping the Earth –Earth’s Structure –Heat Transfer –Earth’s History –The Earth in the

Rock is broken into smaller pieces by:

• Freezing & Thawing• Release of Pressure• Growth of Plants• Action of Animals• Water• Abrasion

Page 22: Mrs. McCarthy’s MCAS Review Earth Science 7 th Grade Curriculum –Mapping the Earth –Earth’s Structure –Heat Transfer –Earth’s History –The Earth in the

Earth in the Solar SystemAll objects are affected by GRAVITY. Gravity’s force is stronger on larger objects. Our solar system is held together by the Sun’s gravity. The Sun’s gravity keeps the planets orbiting around it.

Page 23: Mrs. McCarthy’s MCAS Review Earth Science 7 th Grade Curriculum –Mapping the Earth –Earth’s Structure –Heat Transfer –Earth’s History –The Earth in the

Just as the planets orbit around the sun due to the Sun’s strong gravity, the moon orbit’s Earth due to Earth’s Gravity.

The moon rotates on its axis and revolves around Earth at the same rate, that’s why only one side of the moon is visible from Earth.

Phases of the Moon

Lunar PhasesThe Moon appears to go through a complete set of phases as viewed from the Earth because of its motion around the Earth, as illustrated in the following figure.

Page 25: Mrs. McCarthy’s MCAS Review Earth Science 7 th Grade Curriculum –Mapping the Earth –Earth’s Structure –Heat Transfer –Earth’s History –The Earth in the

Lunar Eclipses

During a Lunar Eclipse, the Sun, Earth, & Moon align so that the moon is not reflecting any of the Sun’s light. The moon is not visible from Earth at this time.

Day & Night• Earth rotates on its axis once every 24

hours (1 day).

• When Earth is turned toward the Sun, it is daytime.

• When Earth is turned away from the sun, it is nighttime.

Page 30: Mrs. McCarthy’s MCAS Review Earth Science 7 th Grade Curriculum –Mapping the Earth –Earth’s Structure –Heat Transfer –Earth’s History –The Earth in the

Earth revolves around the sun once every 365 ¼ days (1 year).

When the Northern Hemisphere is angled toward the Sun (direct rays), it is summer.When Northern Hemisphere is angled away from the sun (indirect rays), it is winter.
