Energy - Open vs. closed systems

Free vs. Bounded

Dynamic/ Steady state/ Potential

Weathering - Solution - Lava Cooling

Volcanism / Diastrophism = open

(Erosion of hillside & sedimentary transport in H20)

Geoid tend to Equilibrium

Isostacy vs. Eustacy

Energy balance in systems

Humans use 40 of Earth Productivity

(wind, tides, geothermal heat)

26% of Evapotranspiration

Processing Rock, Cement, Placers, Diatomaceous, Earth

Radioactive Power Plants

Power - Rate of doing work

(Energy overtime ) = kwh or horse power

Albedo refers to sunlight reflected from a surface

30 reflected

Absorbed

Evaporated

S R = 3000, Energy source on earth

Heat, gravity, acceleration

Extraneous Energy - meteor / Asteroid etc.)

Humans concentrate energy

Solar Constant - Radiant Energy - Atmosphere - Greenhouse and Blanket Effect

Terrestrial gradients - latitude -Season - Grid

Altitude-3.0 vs. 5.5/1000

Mt. Barrier & Deserts

Diurnal Variation

Blanket/ Greenhouse - Fog - Dew - Frost

Hydrologic cycle

Glacial Storage (180 - 250)

(20,000 yago) 425-450 ft lower.

(Saltation, Suspension, & Solution)

Gravity & Tides vs. Equilibrium

Coreolis Effect

Geothermal heat flow - 1 degree/69 mi (20 - 30 km)

Heat release, volcanoes, geysers, hot springs

Volcanism / Rock cycle

Mountain Building - Thermal & density energy
