When the ice melted and the hole created from the ice filled up with water, a kettle lake was formed.

The second picture shows the glaciers and the direction the Pleistocene glaciers moved as they advanced across the surface of the Earth during the last ice age. You will notice that a lot more of the land is covered by glaciers in this picture, compared to the land on the Earth today. In addition, much of the Arctic Ocean was covered in Sea Ice. || || *Solar energy is the heat from the sun. Solar energy is absorbed more by the Earth's surface than atomsphere. About 50% of solar energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface and 30% is reflected back to space by the atmosphere and the last 20% is absorbed by clouds and the atmospheres gases. Solar radiation depends on the energy and of the wavelength of energy being transmitted.

|| Most of our atmosphere is composed of nitrogen and oxygen. They make up to 99% of the Earth's atmosphere. Carbon Dioxide, on the other hand, only makes up .038% but is an efficient absorber of energy emitted by Earth and thus influences the heating of the atmosphere.
 * Electromagnetic radiation is radiation that is emitted or absorbed. There are many different types of radiation. For example there are X rays, microwaves, or radio waves. All these are transmited energy through the vacuum of space. When a certain type of object absorbs radiation energy, there is an increase in molecular motion which increases temperature. ||

Greenhouse gases trap the solar radiation in the Earth. Methane, CO2, and CFC are one of the examples of greenhouse gases. The picture shows the fate of the solar radiation once it passes our ozone layer. Most of the radiation is trapped and is being reflected towards the Earth rather than towards the space. || (above is the link to my wikipage, which includes the 573-577 notes & images) ||  ||

[] || __ My 1st picture about the electro-magnetic spectrum: __ Nitrogen and Oxygen dominate and make up most of the dry air. Tiny solid and liquid particles are called aerosols. The sun emits heat, light, and ultraviolet rays…could cause a suntan. The sun drives all weather and climates and the energy to maintain them. All types of radiation transmit energy through the vacuum of space at about 300,000 Km per sec. and only a little slower through Earth’s atmosphere.

Laws governing radiation:

1. All objects emit radiant energy. 2. Hot objects radiate more energy per unit than cold objects would. 3. The hotter the radiating body is, the shorter the wavelength of the maximum radiation. 4. Good object absorbers of radiation are good emitters of radiation as well. (gases are selective absorbers & emitters of radiation).

__My 2nd picture is on the atmosphere and what effects it:__ About 50% of solar energy reaches the top of the atmosphere, but gets absorbed at Earth’s surface. About 30% more gets reflected back into space by the atmosphere, clouds, and reflective surfaces (snow & water). The last 20% gets absorbed by the clouds and atmosphere’s gases. Water vapor absorbs five times more terrestrial radiation than all combined gases. The atmosphere is heated form the ground up. Greenhouse effect=Water vapor and CO2 allow short wavelengths top enter atmosphere and have objects absorb them. The objects radiate energy, but at long wavelengths. The heat gets trapped and creates a greenhouse effect. Leading land masses cause ocean circulation and influences heat transportation around the world. Volcanic eruptions cause dirt and debris to stay in our atmosphere for many months, maybe even years. || || My first picture illustrates solar energy. On average 50 % of solar energy is absorbed at Earth’s surface. Another 30 % of solar energy is reflected back to space by atmosphere, clouds, snow, or water. The remaining 20 % is absorbed by clouds and atmosphere’s gases. These percentages can vary. More solar energy is absorbed by Earth’s surface then by the atmosphere, therefore the air is not heated directly by Sun but can use the heat from Earth’s surface. My second picture shows electromagnetic spectrum. There are different types of radiation like x-rays, microwaves, or radio waves but they all transmit solar energy throughout the space. When an object absorbs any form of radiation energy, the result is an rise in molecular motion, which can cause a rise in temperature ||

||  || || This image shows the electromagnetic radiation which comprises a major portion of the total energy that radiates from the Sun. X-rays, microwaves, or radio waves transmit energy through the vacuum at 186,000 miles per second. Temperature increases by the result of an increase in molecular motion whenan object absorbs radiant energy. These waves can travel in vacuum and in air. All the electromagnetic waves are arranged in an order from the most energetic to the least energetic. This type of arrangement is called Electromagnetic Spectrum.

The second image is about the greenhouse effect. As Solar radiation powers the climate system, they reflect on the earth. About half of the solar radiation is absorbed by the Earth’s surface and warms it. Some solar radiation is reflected by the Earth and the atmosphere. Infrared radiation is emitted from the Earth’s surface. The gases of the atmosphere mostly water vapor and carbon dioxide allow shorter-wavelength solar radiation to enter, where it is absorbed by the objects inside. || || The first picture shown is one of water vapor. Though it doesn't seem like there is much water vapor in the air, it plays a significant role.Water vapor is the source of clouds and precipitation. It also has the ability to absorb heat and solar energy given off to the earth. Water vapor absorbs five times as much radiation than alll the other gases combined.

My second image shows .lithospheric plates. Lithospheric plates are one of the natural mechanisms of climate change. The shifts of the plates can have a dramatic impact on climate over millions of years. They also affect the ocean circulation, which influneces heat transported around the globe. || ||  ||
