Earth to Class

Important Earth Science Relationships	Created by Fred Welfare
DIRECT	INVERSE

Amount of runoff-stream's velocity	Air Pressure decreases as altitude increases
Angle of Insolation: as the angle increases, the heating power also increases	Air Temperature decreases, as air expands
Chemical weathering-temperature	Atmospheric transparency decreases as air pollution increases
Coriolis effect-speed of rotation	Density Change: density decreases as air temperature increases
Density-depth within the Earth	Deposition increases as speed decreases
Deposition: the denser the particles, the faster it settles	Hurricanes strengthen as air pressure decreases
Eccentricity: as foci distance increases, the greater the eccentricity	Infiltration decreases as slope increases
Evaporation-temperature	Physical Weathering increases as air temperature drops
Gravity-mass	Radioactivity decreases over time
Greenhouse gases-warm atmosphere	Revolution period: as distance to the Sun decreases, orbital speed increases
Mass and Volume: as mass increases, so will its volume	Soil Capillarity increases, as particle size decreases
Mid Atlantic Ridge: the further from the MAR, the older the rocks	Specific heat: the higher the number the slower the substance heats up
Permeability-grain size	Water Vapor decreases as altitude increases
Polaris's altitude-latitude
Pollution-Population
Pressure Gradient: as air pressure increases, so does the wind velocity
Pressure-depth within the Earth
Red Shift: the further the galaxy is, the greater the Red Shift
Seismic Waves: distance seismic waves travel - further apart the distance of P & S
Soil Development: soil horizons increase over time, if there is no erosion
Steepness of gradient-stream velocity
Water Table: as rainfall increases, the water table increases
