Earth Science Facts you MUST know:  

1.        When you cut an object into pieces, you don’t change its density.

2.      The Altitude of Polaris is equal to the latitude of the observer.

3.       The Coriolis force deflects currents to the right in the northern hemisphere.

4.      Condensation = phase change from gas to liquid – remove heat energy.

No temperature change.

5.       Freezing = phase change from liquid to solid – remove heat energy.

No temperature change.

6.       Boiling (vaporization) = liquid to gas – add heat – needs the most energy.

No temperature change.

7.       There is no temperature change during a phase change (se 4, 5, and 6).

8.       Low Pressure = lousy, cloudy, humid weather, rising air currents, counterclockwise and convergent circulation.

9.       High Pressure = happy, cloudless, dry weather, sinking air currents, clockwise and divergent circulation.

10.    Weather moves from west to east (northeast trend) in the United States.

11.      Porosity is not affected by particle size.

12.    Potential Evapotranspiration (Ep) depends on TEMPERATURE ONLY!

13.    Minerals have different properties due to their internal arrangement of atoms.

14.    Marine fossils (seashells…) on mountain tops indicate that the land has been uplifted.

15.    The Equatorial regions receive 12 hours of daylight EVERYDAY.

16.    Always remember: “when it doubt, take it out -------your Reference Tables (that is)!!!”
