5 The Moon- formation & features The Moon vs. Earth How are they different? (list 3 ways),, How did our Moon form? Impact by, billion years ago This theory is great because it explains: Lunar History Step 1: billion years ago, our Moon forms when a giant mars sized object. Material is ejected from earth to form. Step 2: The moon was an that cooled and solidified into 3 layers (, mantle & core) Step 3: the moon was impacted by large, &. These impacts produced craters & deep basins up to 1000 km. Step 4: the number objects impacting the moon. The craters forming during this stage have rays because there is now moon dirt from the earlier impacts. Rayed Crater- Features Volcanoes Volcanoes Produced the = Mare BIG Dark areas Rocks called Rille- large Rilles formed from lava flows. Craters- Highlands Mountains formed by crater material Piles of Rocks called Breccias: made of Regolith: A layer of rock & mineral fragments ( ) that formed from impacts Rayed Craters Regolith (moon dirt) ejects out and makes rays.

6 Moon Facts & Phases Moon Facts The earth s only Orbits the earth in a path called Average distance from the earth to the moon is 384,403 kilometers (238,857 miles) Diameter of 3,474 km, of the earth Gravity of the earth Why do we always see the same side of the Moon? Because: 1) The moon takes to go around the earth (revolve). 2) It also takes to spin once around on it s axis (rotate on axis). Since the moon rotates & revolves at the, we always see the same side! The moon rotates & revolves at the same speed (27.3 days) around the earth So, we always see the! If the moon didn t rotate you would see! Moon Phases of the Moon is always lit by the sun. The Moon shines because it sunlight off of its surface. The phases of the Moon are caused by our eyes seeing the lit half of the Moon as the moon orbits the earth. A common misconception is that the phases of the Moon are caused by the shadow of the Earth. Light on right means moon phases are. Light on left means. 6

8 How Can a Comet Be Studied? Background Astronomers can study comets because they appear at regular intervals in an orbit that can be plotted. These orbits generally form long, narrow loops, called elongated ellipses, around the sun. There are recorded reports of Halley s Comet as early as 240 B.C. Edmund Halley, however, was the first person to calculate the comet s complete period, predicting it would be seen again form earth in The comet appeared in 1759 and since then has been seen roughly every 76 years. In this investigation you will make calculations about the movement of comets. Objectives After completing this investigation, you will be able to: 1) identify the path of a comet, 2) determine how long it takes a comet to complete its period, & 3) project the return dates of a comet FIGURE 1: The Orbit of Halley s Comet A. Study Figure 1. Note the shape of the comet s orbit and the shapes of the orbits of the planets. 1. What is the length, in time of the period of Halley s Comet? 2. Figure 1 shows that the last time Halley s Comet was visible from earth was Using that date, calculate when the comet next is visible from earth? Hint: use your data from question #1. 3. If Halley s comet was visible from earth in 1910, what year was it visible before that? 4. If the gravitational pull of the sun and Jupiter decreased the speed of the comet by 5 percent, when would it next be visible from earth? B. Imagine you have discovered a new comet whose period extends through the orbit of Uranus but not into the orbit of Neptune. On Figure 1, draw in the orbit of the new comet using your red pencil. C. A historical reference refers to a comet in 1784, an amateur astronomer reported sighting it in 1875, and an early US space probe took a close-up picture of it in When would you predict the comet would next be visible form earth? D. Encke s Comet has a period of 3.3 years. Its period decreases by 0.1 day at each revolution. 6. How many days will the period lose in 23 years? day(s) Hint: first calculate how many periods will occur in 23 years 8

With earth located as shown, will the comet s tail be visible to the unaided eye on earth when the comet is a t position A? explain your answer Label the above picture with the following parts of a comet: Coma Nucleus Tail 9
10 Models of Eclipses Modified from Earth-Science-Prentice Hall Background Information As the moon and the earth revolve around each other and the sun, they block some of the sun's light. When the sun or moon is blocked out by another object, an eclipse occurs. There are two types of eclipses- a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse. During a lunar eclipse, the moon passes through the earth's shadow. And during a solar eclipse the moon is directly between the sun and the earth. Shadows cast into space during an eclipse have two parts. The completely dark inner shadow is the umbra. The outer area where light is only partially blocked is called the penumbra. Purpose: To draw a model of a solar eclipse & a lunar eclipse and identify the parts of a shadow. Materials: Ruler, Colored pencils Procedure: 1. Color the sun red, the moon yellow, and the earth blue in both Figures 1 and On Figure 1, use the ruler to draw a line from each side of the sun to the same side of the moon. Extend these lines until they touch the earth. (A1 drawn to A2) & (B1 drawn to B2). 3. On Figure 1, use the ruler to draw a line from the same points on the sides of the sun to the opposite sides of the moon. Extend these lines until they touch the earth. (A1 drawn to B2) & (B1 drawn to A2). 4. Color in the shadows produced by the moon. Color the inner shadow black and label it umbra. Color the outer shadow purple and label it penumbra. 5. On Figure 2, use the ruler to draw a line from each side of the sun to the same side of earth. (A1 drawn to A2) & (B1 drawn to B2). Extend these lines beyond the earth. 6. On Figure 2, use the ruler to draw lines from the sides of the sun to the opposite sides of the earth. (A1 drawn to B2) & (B1 drawn to A2). Extend these lines beyond the earth. Figure 1 Figure 2 A1 A1 A2 A2 B2 B2 B1 B1 Conclusions 1. What type of eclipse have you drawn in Figure 1? In Figure 2? 2. At what phase is the moon in Figure 1? In Figure 2? 3. What type of eclipse occurs when the moon is between the Earth & Sun? 4. What type of eclipse occurs when the Earth is between the moon and Sun? Critical Thinking and Application 1.

12 Characteristics of Ocean Waves Most waves are caused by wind. As a wave moves through water, the surface of the water rises and falls. The highest part of a wave is referred to as the crest; the lowest part is called the trough. The wave height is the difference in level between the crest and the trough. The wavelength is the distance between two successive crests or troughs. The time required for two successive crests or troughs to pass a certain point is referred to as the wave period. Wave speed can be calculated using the following relationship. wave height = 1/2 wl wave speed = wavelength 1.3 wave period When waves move into shallow water, the troughs begin to drag along the bottom and slow down, while the crests continue at their normal speed. As a result, the front of the wave becomes steeper than the back of the wave. Eventually the crest topples over and the wave is said to break. Waves break in water that has a depth equal to approximately one-half the wavelength or about 1.3 times the wave height. Use the background information and the diagram below to answer questions 1-4. Use the diagram on the left for questions Label the wave crests and wave troughs on the diagram on the left. 2. What is the wavelength? 3. What is the wave height? 4. What is the speed of the waves if the wave period is 4 seconds? Use the diagram on the right for questions In what depth of water would a wave begin to break if it had a wavelength of 3 meters? 6. According to the diagram, how far from shore would a wave break that had a wave length of 3 meters? 7. What would the wave height be for the wave described in the previous two questions? 8. What would happen to the distance from shore that the waves were breaking if increased winds caused an increase in the wave heights? Activity modified from Earth Science, Prentice-Hall, Inc. 12

As the water moves on to the shore the wave 13
14 Tide Predictions Purpose: To plot the tide curve showing the three types of tides Background: There are three types of tides. Range is the difference in height between low water and the high water for a given period of time. Diurnal tide - has only one high water and one low water each day. The tides along the Vietnam and China coast are diurnal. Semidiurnal tide - has two high waters and two low waters. There is little difference between the high waters and little or no difference between the low waters. Tides along the east coast of the United States are semidiurnal. Mixed tide - has two high waters and two low waters each day with considerable difference between the two high water heights and the two low water heights. Range- is the difference in height between low & high water for a given time. Procedure A. Use the data table to plot the tide curve & answer the questions below. 1. What day shows a diurnal tide? 2. What day shows a mixed tide? 3. What day shows a semidiurnal tide? 4. What day shows the greatest range in tides? 5. What type of tides do San Diego County beaches experience? Day Time Height (ft.)
