Australia Geography Geographical links Australia is the only nation to occupy an entire continent. In land area (7 682 300 square kilometres) it is the world's sixth largest nation. Australia lies in the Southern Hemisphere between the Pacific and Indian Oceans and has seven external territories including the Australian Antarctic Territory. Its closest neighbours are New Zealand to the east, Papua New Guinea to the north and Indonesia to the northwest. Australia has a tropical monsoon climate in the north, a temperate to Mediterranean climate in the south and a vast, arid interior. Important features of its climate are the highly irregular rainfall, the extreme rate of evaporation of available water, and the large temperature ranges. The continent has a generally flat land surface, with relatively low precipitation and run-off rates. Mountain ranges in the southeast are often snow-covered in winter, but Australia generally experiences mild winters and hot summers. Australia is the second driest continent, with its freshwater and ground water resources having a limited capacity. Drought is a recurring climatic feature over most of the continent. Many Australian soils are derived from ancient material and the rate of soil formation is slow. As a result, soils tend to be shallow and infertile. Significant deposits of minerals are found across the continent. These include oil, coal and gas, iron ore, bauxite, copper, nickel, zinc, gold, mineral sands, manganese, diamonds and uranium.

Relative actual water vapor content of the air Humidity max. water vapor capacity of the air Bringing vapor pressure to saturation point: o Evaporation increases as unsaturated air moves over lakes or the ocean o And temperatures can decrease as air moves over cooler surfaces. o Uplift - any process by which air is raised to a higher altitude. We can appreciate where precipitation is distributed around the g lobe, therefore, by understanding that most ppt occurs as air cools when it is forced to rise. Uplift can result from 3 processes, o mixing of air masses of different densities (as along the polar front o convection o Orographic movement of air up and over mountains Deserts occur where there is o inadequate supply of water (interior of large land masses)

Oceanography index introduction Oceanography covers all we know about the sea, its formation, geology, mineralogy, extraction, fisheries, biology and much more. For this web site we have made a conscious selection. If you are in a hurry, read this first. (located on this page) (3 pages) oceans The world's oceans cover more than 70% of the Earth's surface. At places they are as deep as the tallest mountains. Read more about their size, surface distribution, origin, evolution, features, crust, tectonic plate movement and more. (14 pages) ocean properties The salt water has important properties for life in the seas, properties that influence the circulation of the ocean water. Read more about its temperature, seasons, density and productivity. (8 pages) waves Waves are caused by the wind blowing over the ocean's surface. They promote the exchange of gases between the ocean and the atmosphere and bring water movement to coastal habitats. They are responsible for the shape of our coasts and the formation of dunes and beaches. Waves can also destroy. Tsunamis and mega tsunamis are special waves. In this chapter you'll find all you need to know about waves. (14 pages) tides The tides are caused by the rotation of the Earth in the presence of the gravitational pull of moon and sun. Often interpreted as a water 'bulge' travelling around the globe, being balanced by an equal bulge on the other side, recent discoveries have made this simplified concept much more interesting.

Systems EALRs Lesson Description Examples of Lesson Use Grade Levels Essential Learnings How Plants Grow A plant is a biological system with these basic requirements for functioning and growing: sunlight, water, air, soil, and space. This activity allows students to explore what happens when a plant's basic needs are not met. Activity: 4-8 Variation:K-2 Science Communication Math Arts Sunlight and Shades of Green (p.137) This activity introduces students to photosynthesis, the process that enables trees and other green plants to use sunlight to manufacture their own food. Science Communication Arts Have Seeds, Will Travel (p.139) A plant is a biological system. Its processes and components enable it to grow and reproduce. This activity will introduce your students to one aspect of a plant's reproductive system: its seeds. PeninsulaK K-8 Science Reading Communication Arts Water Wonders (p.142) The water cycle is the system by which Earth's fixed amount of water is collected, purified, and distributed from the environment to living things and back to the environment. Plants play a large part in the cycle by absorbing water with their roots and transpiring it as vapor through their leaves. This acitivity will introduce students to the various steps of the water cycle and the various paths water can take. They will also make connections between the water cycle and all living things.
