Landforms 60 - PowerPoint - Version 2

This document summarizes key aspects of tropical rainforests, including their location, climate characteristics, soil type, vegetation layers, threats, and causes of deforestation. Tropical rainforests are located between 5-10 degrees north and south of the equator in countries like Brazil, Indonesia, and the Amazon Basin. They have high temperatures, rainfall, and humidity that support the growth of deep, nutrient-poor soils and several vegetation layers ranging from emergent trees to an understory. Common threats include slash-and-burn agriculture, fires, logging, cattle ranching, and agriculture which have significantly reduced tropical rainforest coverage due to unsustainable practices.

This document summarizes the major water bodies of Earth. It explains that 3/4 of the Earth's surface is covered by water in various forms called water bodies. The largest water bodies are the five oceans: Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic, and Antarctic oceans. It also describes seas as large water bodies smaller than oceans, which can be marginal seas partly enclosed by land or inland seas covering central land areas. Minor water bodies include bays, lakes, gulfs, lagoons, straits, and rivers.

The Great Plains are a flat, expansive area of North America that lies between the Mississippi River and Rocky Mountains. The Plains have deep, fertile soils deposited by water, ice, and wind that make them well-suited for agriculture. Vast grasslands cover much of the Plains, supporting immense populations of wildlife and livestock. At the heart of the Plains ecosystem is grass, which is able to survive a wide range of harsh climates through being almost indestructible. The climate of the Great Plains is characterized by very cold winters and hot summers, with high winds and occasional dust storms.

The document summarizes the major terrestrial biomes of the world. It describes the six biomes as: 1) Desert biome, which is characterized by hot and dry climates with less than 10 inches of rain per year. Common plants include cacti and animals have adaptations for heat and lack of water. 2) Tundra biome, which is located north of the Arctic circle and is the coldest biome with less than 25 inches of rain per year. Plants are low growing and animals have thick fur. 3) Taiga biome or boreal forest, located in northern parts of North America, Asia, and Europe. It has long, cold winters and coniferous trees are abundant. 4) Rainforest biome

The document describes four major bodies of water: oceans, gulfs, rivers, and lakes. Oceans are the largest body of water and have salty water. Gulfs are bodies of ocean water surrounded by land on three sides. Rivers are streams of water that flow across land. Lakes are bodies of fresh water surrounded by land.

The document provides an overview of key facts about oceans: - Oceans cover 70.8% of the Earth's surface and have an average depth of 4,000 meters. The deepest point is in the Marianas Trench at 11,000 meters. - The Pacific Ocean is the largest, covering 30.5% of the Earth's surface. Other major oceans are the Atlantic, Indian, and Southern oceans. - Water has unique properties like existing in solid, liquid, and gas forms and having high heat capacity, which influence Earth's climate and ability to support life. - Ocean depths are divided into zones like the continental shelf, pelagic zone, and abyssal zone that have different environmental conditions

A landform is a natural feature of the solid surface of the Earth or other planetary body. Landforms together make up a given terrain, and their arrangement in the landscape is known as topography. Typical landforms include hills, mountains, plateaus, canyons, valleys, as well as shoreline features such as bays, peninsulas, and seas, including submerged features such as mid-ocean ridges, volcanoes, and the great ocean basins.

The document discusses the five main oceans of the world - the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern, and Arctic oceans. It provides data on the size and depths of each ocean, with the Pacific being the largest and the Mariana Trench in the Pacific being the deepest location at over 36,000 feet deep. Rivers are described as large bodies of fresh water that flow across land into seas or oceans, while lakes are bodies of fresh water surrounded by land.

This document discusses endogenous and exogenous geological processes that shape the Earth's surface and form different types of landforms. Endogenous processes such as faulting, folding, and volcanic activity occur beneath the surface. Exogenous processes including weathering, erosion, and deposition happen at the surface and interact with landforms formed by endogenous events. Landforms are categorized by size, relief, and whether they were formed through erosional or depositional forces, and include plains, mountains, plateaus, hills, canyons, river valleys, moraines, deltas, sand bars, and sand dunes.

The document defines various geographical terms through examples. It provides definitions for terms like archipelago, bay, coast, canyon, cape, cove, channel, cliff, delta, desert, forest, geyser, glacier, grassland, fjord, hill, iceberg, island, isthmus, jungle, lake, marsh, mountain, ocean, peninsula, plain, plateau, river, sea, strait, stream, tundra, volcano, and waterfall. Examples are given for many of the terms to illustrate what land and water features they describe.

The document discusses different types of bodies of water on Earth. It states that about 3/4 of Earth's surface is covered by water, but only 1/2 cup out of a gallon jug represents the amount of fresh water. The largest oceans are the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and Arctic. Lakes are bodies of water surrounded by land, and the Great Lakes are located in Michigan. Rivers contain fresh water and flow into larger bodies of water. Ponds and streams are smaller than lakes and rivers.

This chapter discusses glacial systems and the landforms they create. It describes the two major types of glaciers - alpine and continental - and how they flow via internal deformation and basal sliding. Glaciers erode primarily through plucking and abrasion, transporting material and leaving behind distinctive depositional features like moraines, drumlins, and eskers. Continental ice sheets during the Pleistocene epoch shaped much of North America and Europe through erosion of cirques, arêtes, and fjords, and deposition of till plains, outwash plains, and erratic boulders.

A desert is defined as a region that receives less than 250-500 mm of precipitation per year. Deserts form due to global circulation patterns that result in subsiding air over subtropical regions, limiting rainfall. Key factors that influence desert formation include high surface temperatures, topography such as rain shadows, and proximity to cold ocean currents. Deserts are characterized by sparse vegetation and unique landforms shaped by wind and water erosion like sand dunes, playas, and yardangs. Common desert types include hot subtropical deserts near the horse latitudes, mid-latitude deserts, and coastal deserts near cold ocean currents.

Floodplains develop alongside rivers and are subject to periodic flooding. As rivers mature from steep mountain streams to slow, meandering plains rivers, they develop floodplains marked by features like natural levees, backswamps, and oxbow lakes formed from river meanders. Flooding deposits sediment across the floodplain but slows closer to the river, building up levees. Meanders may eventually be cut off, forming oxbow lakes. While flooding is natural, it can be hazardous to human development, so structures like dams, levees, flood walls, and bypasses are used to control floodwaters.

Communication is the process of sharing messages to generate meaning and occurs in a specific context or situation. It involves a source, message, channel, receiver, feedback, codes, encoding, decoding, and can be impacted by noise. Key components of communication are the source who initiates the message, the message itself which can be verbal or nonverbal, and the receiver who is the intended target. There are various contexts of communication including intrapersonal, interpersonal, public, and mass communication. Effective communication considers factors such as the relationship between individuals, quantity does not determine quality, and communication is irreversible.

It outlines the assumptions of the design method, which include plane sections remaining plane after bending and a linear stress-strain relationship for both masonry and steel. Equations are provided to calculate the balanced reinforcement ratio, as well as the procedure for sizing the cross section and reinforcement given design moment values. An example problem demonstrates how to design a reinforced masonry beam section to resist a given bending moment.

This document discusses different aspects of effective speech delivery, including vocal, bodily, and content elements. It outlines four common methods of speech delivery: reading verbatim from a manuscript; reciting from memory; speaking impromptu with minimal preparation using notes; and speaking extemporaneously with preparation using brief notes. The document provides tips for each method and common mistakes to avoid such as poor gestures, body language, and enumerates speaking mistakes seen in a sample video. Overall, it emphasizes that an effective speech delivery conveys the speaker's ideas clearly without being distracting through a combination of formality, directness, spontaneity, and facial expressions.

Six Sigma is a set of process improvement techniques and tools used to reduce variability and increase profits through statistical quality control. It aims to enhance customer satisfaction and product quality. Key methodologies for implementing Six Sigma include DMAIC, which follows the plan-do-check-act cycle to define problems, measure metrics, analyze root causes, improve processes, and control results. DMADV is used for developing new processes and products. Both draw on techniques like FMEA, DOE, control plans and more. Six Sigma benefits organizations through lower costs, fewer defects, and stronger business performance.

This document provides an introduction to 8086 assembly language programming. It discusses machine code and assembly language, compilers and assemblers, general purpose registers, simple commands, number formats, jumps, labels, logical and shift instructions, and instructions that affect memory. The key points are that assembly language provides a lower-level programming interface than high-level languages, manages memory and registers directly, and uses mnemonics that are assembled into machine code.

This document discusses distortion that can occur during welding processes. It defines distortion as any unwanted physical change to a fabricated structure due to welding. The main causes of distortion are non-uniform expansion/contraction from the welding thermal cycle and internal stresses formed in the base metal. The extent of distortion depends on material properties like thermal expansion and welding factors like process, amount of weld metal, and edge preparation. Different types of distortions like longitudinal, transverse, angular, bending, twisting and buckling are described. Methods to measure and control distortion include welding sequence, fixtures, preheating, and post weld heat treatment. Various materials have a welding suitability index calculated to indicate their distortion sensitivity during welding.

This document discusses principles of casting and splinting and common pitfalls. It begins by noting how casting skills have declined with newer fixation methods, though casting remains important. It then covers materials like plaster and fiberglass, their properties, advantages, and disadvantages. Key principles discussed include properly padding and molding casts to avoid pressure sores, not overtightening, and positioning joints in positions that maintain mobility. The document cautions against errors like blocking finger motion with upper extremity casts. It provides guidance on casting different areas like the hand, elbow, and lower limb in functional positions. Methods of cast wedging to regain reduction are also reviewed.

Residual stresses are stresses that exist in a material after external loads have been removed. They are caused by non-uniform temperatures during welding which lead to uneven strain. Residual stresses form from mismatches in thermal expansion and contraction between the weld metal and base metal. Higher heat input welds and greater restraint during welding generally result in higher residual stresses, with tensile stresses in the weld metal and compressive stresses farther away. Residual stresses can decrease strength and increase susceptibility to cracking if not properly addressed.

The document discusses research data in the arts and humanities. It notes that research data is defined differently across disciplines, with definitions in the arts focusing more on evidence used to generate new knowledge and interpretations, which can include subjective experiences. In the arts, the research process itself is sometimes considered the work, rather than a definite outcome. The document also discusses how data reuse has long been integral to the arts and humanities culture through things like Shakespeare borrowing plots and theorists examining connections between texts.

A parent-teacher conference is a meeting between a teacher and one or both parents/guardians of a student to discuss the student's academic progress and behavior. The conference allows the teacher to share assessment data and class observations with parents, and learn from parents about the student's strengths, needs, learning style and home life to better support the student's learning. Effective conferences are positive, solution-focused, and encourage two-way participation between the teacher and parents.

This document summarizes key aspects of local governments in Texas. It discusses how local governments are limited by the state's antiquated constitution, which was designed for a rural environment. It also describes the different types of municipalities in Texas, including general-law cities and home-rule cities, and the various forms of municipal government like strong mayor-council, weak mayor-council, and council-manager. The document concludes by covering municipal politics, services, and revenue sources like taxes, fees, and bonds.

The document describes the Guided Math instructional framework developed by Laney Sammons. It is a flexible approach that uses whole class instruction, small group work, and independent work to meet students' unique needs. Key aspects include establishing a numerate classroom environment, ongoing assessment to form flexible groups, and using whole class, small group, and independent work components daily. The goal is to promote deep understanding and address gaps through differentiated instruction.

The idea of blended learning—combining digital curricula and tools with face-to-face instruction—for elementary grades is becoming more popular, and educators are finding it works particularly well in mathematics. Our guests will provide successful approaches for implementing this technique, including resources, strategies, and examples of instruction, as well as tips for modeling blended learning in elementary grade math.

Landforms are natural features on the Earth's surface. There are many different types of landforms including mountains, hills, volcanoes, basins, valleys, canyons, plains, plateaus, lakes, coasts, peninsulas, and deltas. Major landforms also include mountains ranges, continental shelves, isthmuses, and cliffs. Bodies of water that help define landforms include oceans, seas, rivers, waterfalls, branches, mouths, canals, gulfs, bays, islands, archipelagos, fjords, and straits.

This document defines and provides examples of different types of landforms. It explains that landforms are natural shapes or features on Earth's surface, and there are many types including mountains, hills, volcanoes, basins, valleys, canyons, plains, plateaus, lakes, coasts, and more. Each landform is then defined in 1-2 sentences, such as mountains being areas much higher than surrounding land, valleys being lowlands between higher lands, and plains being flat areas on the surface.

This document defines and describes various landforms and bodies of water. It explains that bays are areas of water bordered by land on three sides, gulfs are larger than bays and partly surrounded by land, and peninsulas are pieces of land surrounded by water on three sides. Rivers are large flowing bodies of water that usually empty into seas or oceans, and waterfalls occur where rivers fall steeply.

Canyons are deep, narrow valleys that sometimes contain streams, while caves are dark, cool, and wet places that require specialized adaptations for the creatures living there. Mountains have snow at their peaks and rise sharply from the land, as volcanoes explode lava and eruptions form hard rock. Gulfs are portions of sea almost surrounded by land with a narrow opening, whereas islands are smaller than continents and completely encircled by water. Bays connect to oceans or lakes, and harbors shelter ships from storms in connected bodies of water. Cliffs are tall, steep slopes of rock or soil, and hills form from erosion and are part of raised areas of earth's crust. Glaciers contain ice and have pointed
