​A Weather Station

A place where observation, measuring and recording of weather elements is done
Factors to Be Taken Into Account When Sitting a Weather Station
  • An open place where there is little obstruction of weather elements.
  • Accessible place so that recording can be done easily.
  • A fairly level or gently sloping ground (5◦) so that it’s easy to position weather instruments.
  • The place should provide a wide view of the surrounding landscape and the sky.
  • The site should be free from flooding.
  • The place should have security.
Instruments for Measuring Elements of Weather
  1. Thermometer-temperature
  2. Hygrometer-humidity
  3. Rain gauge-rainfall
  4. Barometer-air pressure
  5. Sunshine recorder-sunshine duration and intensity
  6. Wind vane –wind direction
  7. Anemometer-wind speed
  8. Evaporimeter-rate and amount of evaporation.
THE STEVENSON SCREEN
FIGURE 1: THE STEVENSON SCREEN
A white wooden box mounted on 4 legs used to house thermometers and hygrometers.
The instruments which are found in it are:
  1. Maximum thermometer
  2. minimum thermometer
  3. Six’s thermometer
  4. hygrometer-wet bulb and dry bulb thermometer

​Importance of the Stevenson Screen

  1. Provide shade conditions for accurate temperature recording.
  2. Ensure safety of thermometers because they are delicate.
Qualifications Which Make Stevenson Screen Suitable For Its Work
  1. Painted white for little absorption of solar heat energy.
  2. Made of wood which is a bad conductor of heat.
  3. Well ventilated to allow easier flow of air inside it.
  4. Raised to prevent contact with terrestrial radiation.
  5. Has double roof which acts as an insulator to prevent direct heating from the sun.

understanding LONGITUDES and latitudes

PREVIOUSLY >> WEATHER

UNDERSTANDING LONGITUDES AND LATITUDES

Any location on Earth is described by two numbers-its latitude and its longitude. If a pilot or a ship's captain wants to specify position on a map, these are the "coordinates" they would use. 

wHAT ARE LONGITUDES?

​A lines of longitude is also called a meridian, derived from the Latin, from meri, a variation of "medius" which denotes "middle", and diem, meaning "day." The word once meant "noon", and times of the day before noon were known as "ante meridian", while times after it were "post meridian." Today's abbreviations a.m. and p.m. come from these terms, and the Sun at noon was said to be "passing meridian". All points on the same line of longitude experienced noon (and any other hour) at the same time and were therefore said to be on the same "meridian line", which became "meridian" for short.
[​shurdington.org]
  • Longitudes are imaginary lines that run on the surface of the earth from the north pole to the south pole.
  • Longitudes are used to measure the east and west positions of the earth.
  • Longitudes are measured in degrees.
  • Longitudes are also called Meridians
  • The centre of all longitudes is called The Greenwich Meridian or prime meridian denoted by zero degrees centigrade.
  • The Greenwich meridian passes through Lagos, Nigeria and London, UK
Longitude, is a geographic coordinate that specifies the east–west position of a point on the Earth's surface, or the surface of a celestial body. It is an angular measurement, usually expressed in degrees and denoted by the Greek letter lambda. Meridians connect points with the same longitude. [Wikipedia]

WHAT ARE LATITUDES?

In geography, latitude is a geographic coordinate that specifies the north–south position of a point on the Earth's surface. Latitude is an angle which ranges from 0° at the Equator to 90° at the poles. Lines of constant latitude, or parallels, run east–west as circles parallel to the equator. [Wikipedia]
  • Latitude is defined as a measurement of distance in degrees north and south of the equator
  • The word latitude is derived from the Latin word, “latus”, meaning “wide.
  • There are 90 degrees of latitude from the equator to each of the poles, north and south.
  • Latitude lines are parallel, that is they are the same distance apart
  • These lines are sometimes referred to as parallels.        [ketteringschools.org]

  1. define the solar system
  2. explain the origin of the earth
  3. explain the effects of rotation and revolution of the earth
  4. Describe the structure of the earth.
Picture

​The Earth and the Solar System COURSE OUTLINE

  1. Definition and composition of the solar system
  2. Origin, shape, size and position of the earth in the solar system
  3. Rotation and revolution of the earth and their effects
  4. Structure of the earth
    1. The atmosphere
    2. The hydrosphere
    3. The lithosphere/crust
    4. The asthenosphere/mantle
    5. The barysphere/centrosphere (outer and inner core)

​The Earth and the Solar System

Solar system is the group of heavenly bodies comprising the sun and the nine planets.
The origin of the Solar System
Theories
A theory is a set of reasoned ideas intended to explain facts or events
1. Passing Star Theory
A star with a greater gravitational pull passed near the sun, it attracted large quantities of gaseous materials from the sun, and the materials split, cooled and condensed to form planets, the planets were set in orbit by the passing star
Weaknesses
  1. Doesn’t explain the origin of the sun and star.
  2. Minimal chance of a star approaching another
  3. High temperature, gaseous material drawn from the sun would disperse than condense
  4. The gases should have followed the star since it had a greater gravitational pull
2. Nebula Cloud Theory
There was a slowly rotating cloud of dust and gas called Nebula, As the nebula rotated it flattened into a disc with high concentration of materials at the centre, The high concentration of material at the centre condensed to form the sun. Gases such as ammonia and methane condense to form larger planets that is Jupiter, Saturn, uranius and Neptune. Closer to the centre of Nebula, particles of dust and gas bumping into each other formed the inner smaller planets.
Evidence
Rotation and revolution of planets in anticlockwise direction
Weakness
  1. The origin of nebular is not explained.
  2. Cause of rotation is not mentioned.
  3. All planet should rotate in the direction of the rotation of the nebula that is west to east but Venus and uranius rotates from west to east.
3. Collision Theory
Star with greater gravitational pull passed near the sun. It attracted large quantities of gaseous materials. The materials split into portions. Large portions collided with smaller ones and swept them to form planets. The weaknesses are the same as the passing star’s Theory.
4. Supernova/explosion Theory
There was a violent explosion of a star. A cloud of dust (nebular) remained from the star. There was fast movement of the cloud due to the force of explosion. Rotation speed increased due to gravitational attraction. The cloud flattened into a disc. The matter began to accumulate towards the centre to form a proto-sun which later began to shine. The rest of the cloud collapsed to form planets.
Weaknesses
  1. Doesn’t explain the origin of the star
  2. Doesn’t explain the cause of explosion

"​I like science fiction and physics, things like that. Planets being sucked into black holes, and the various vortexes that create possibility, and what happens on the other side of the black hole. To me it's the microcosmic study of the macrocosmic universe in man, and that's why I'm attracted to it." ~Wesley Snipes
