The materials of the earth surface
The earth is made up of solid materials predomunant in the litosphere, liquid more usual in the idrosphyre and gaseus predominant in the admosphere
Materials in the admosphere
The admosphere is made up of mostly gaseus materials. There are also solid and liquid materials like the minute drops of water nd ice that make up the clouts. As far as we are concermet the most inportant material in the asmosphere is air. Air is not a gas but a michure of gases, it is made up of 78& nitrogen, 21% oxigent and 1% other gases
materials in the hydrosphere
The hydrosphere is made up almost exclusively of 1 material, water. Most of the water in the hydrosphere is in a liquid state but the solid water, ice and snow, is sow sow consideret to be part of the hydrosphere. There maybe other materials in the water of te hydrosphere. For example sea water is very reach in salts. We can say that sea water is a mitsure of sant a water
Materials in the litoaphere
The litosphere is made up of rocks and mineral. These are solid materials, which can be many diferent types, chapes,sizes and colors. Sand is made up of small particles of rock. Clai is also made up of minute particles of rock mixt whit water.
workshop
Air pollution is the introduction of chemicals, particulate matter, or biological materials that cause harm or discomfort to humans or other living organisms, or damages the natural environment, into the atmosphere.
EXAMPLES
Nitrogen oxides (NOx) - especially nitrogen dioxide are emitted from high temperature combustion.
Carbon monoxide - is a colourless, odourless, non-irritating but very poisonous gas.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) - a greenhouse gas emitted from combustion but is also a gas vital to living organisms. It is a natural gas in the atmosphere.
Where is the earth is more pollutet?
  • Chernobyl, Ukraine
  • Dzerzinsk, Russia
  • Haina, Dominican Republic
  • Kabwe, Zambia
  • La Oroya, Peru
  • Linfen, China
  • Mailuu-Suu, Kyrgyzstan
  • Norilsk, Russia
  • Ranipet, India
  • Rudnaya Pristan, Russia

Because are the most evolution countries of the earth....because they have most enterprices.

The inside of the earth :
when we study the indide of the earth we find three layers: the crust, the mantle and the nucleus.
The Crust: Is the external layer of the earth. Its thickness varies from 6 to 12 kilometres on the sea beds to around sixteen km in th continental aries where the great mountain ranges are lokedet
The Mantle:is the layer wich goes from the earth´s crust down to a depth of two, 2900 km
The core: Is the inner-mostlayer. It goes from a depth of 2900 km to de earth´s core which is locker about 6378 km from the surface.The earth´s crust and the mantle form the litosphere.

material of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HydrosphereEarth's lithosphere In the Earth, the lithosphere includes the crust and the uppermost mantle, which constitute the hard and rigid outer layer of the planet. The lithosphere is underlain by the asthenosphere, the weaker, hotter, and deeper part of the upper mantle. The boundary between the lithosphere and the underlying asthenosphere is defined by a difference in response to stress: the lithosphere remains rigid for long periods of geologic time, where as the asthenosphere is plastic. The lithosphere is fragmented into plate tectonics (shown in the picture), which move independently relative to one another.The concept of the lithosphere as Earth’s strong outer layer was developed by Barrell, who wrote a series of papers introducing the concept (Barrell 1914a-c). The concept was based on the presence of significant gravity anomalies over continental crust, from which he inferred that there must exist a strong upper layer (which he called the lithosphere) above a weaker layer which could flow (which he called the asthenosphere). These ideas were enlarged by Daly (1940), and have been broadly accepted by geologists and geophysicists. Although these ideas about lithosphere and asthenosphere were developed long before plate tectonic theory was articulated in the 1960s, the concepts that strong lithosphere exists and that this rests on weak asthenosphere are essential to that theory.The lithosphere provides a conductive lid atop the convecting mantle; as such, it affects heat transport through the Earth.The division of Earth's outer layers into lithosphere and asthenosphere should not be confused with the chemical subdivision of the outer Earth into mantle, and crust. All crust is in the lithosphere, but lithosphere generally contains more mantle than crust.There are two types of lithosphere:Oceanic lithosphere, which is associated with Oceanic crustContinental lithosphere, which is associated with Continental crusthyerosphere: HydrosphereFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThe movement of water around, over, and through the Earth is called the water cycle, a key process of the hydrosphere.A hydrosphere (from Greek ύδωρ - hydor, "water" + σφαίρα - sphaira, "sphere") in physical geography describes the combined mass of water found on, under, and over the surface of a planet.Contents [hide]1 Other hydrospheres2 See also3 References4 External links[edit]Other hydrospheresA thick hydrosphere is thought to exist around the Jovian moon Europa. The outer layer of this hydrosphere is almost entirely frozen, but current models predict that there is an ocean up to 100 km in depth underneath the ice. This ocean remains in a liquid form due to tidal flexing of the moon in its orbit around Jupiter.It has been suggested that the Jovian moon Ganymede and the Saturnian moon Enceladus may also possess sub-surface oceans. However the ice covering is expected to be thicker on Jupiter's Ganymede than on Europa.atmosphere: AtmosphereFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaFor other uses, see Atmosphere (disambiguation).View of Jupiter's active atmosphere, including the Great Red Spot.An atmosphere (from Greek ατμός - atmos, "vapor" + σφαίρα - sphaira, "sphere") is a layer of gases that may surround a material body of sufficient mass,[1] by the gravity of the body, and are retained for a longer duration if gravity is high and the atmosphere's temperature is low. Some planets consist mainly of various gases, but only their outer layer is their atmosphere (see gas giants).The term stellar atmosphere describes the outer region of a star, and typically includes the portion starting from the opaque photosphere outwards. Relatively low-temperature stars may form compound molecules in their outer atmosphere. Earth's atmosphere, which contains oxygen used by most organisms for respiration and carbon dioxide used by plants, algae and cyanobacteria for photosynthesis, also protects living organisms from genetic damage by solar ultraviolet radiation. Its current composition is the product of billions of years of biochemical modification of the paleoatmosphere by living organisms.

  • Que es un sistema de estrellas binarias?
    desart to stars tha turn around acommon senter point










    cluster stars system

    these are groups of tens, hundreds or thousansof stars










    diferent types of stars, stars have different characterics:
    color:when we luck at the stars though binocules or evenwith the naked eyes we can see different tound and different stars. Some are bluish, readdish, orange, and so on.
    - the sun is a yellow star.

    on the other hand,sirius be of comies majoris a hundred times smaller than the sun
    bear

    brightness
    some stars are brigther than others.sirius is very bright other sars are so faint that we cannot see them with the naked eye, they have been discoverd thanks to the use of telescopes
    light
    some stars emmit more light than others, to stars emitting the same amount of ligth will not be as brigth as each other is they are at different distances from the earth.

What are the celestial bodies in the solar system

The solar system is made up of the sun and the celestial bodies that orbit around the sun.

°The sun is a star. It is yellow. The energy that is generated and transmited from the sun is what sustains.

°There are nine planets which orbit around the sun. In the order of the closet to the sun to the farthest away from the sun they are: Mercury, Venus , The earth , mars, jupiter,saturn,uranus,neptune and pluto .Some planets also have other bodies orbiting around them. There are also satellites. For example,the moon is the earth satellite . Some planets hve more than twenty satellites.

°There are other bodies orbiting around the sun such as comets and asteroids. We can see a long tail on the comets when they get close to the sun.
We can say then,that the solar system is made up of a star(the sun),nine planets with their satellites ans other smaller bodies.(asteroids and comets)
