The document summarizes the evolution of stars from their birth as protostars through their death as black holes or neutron stars. It describes protostars, supernovae, white dwarfs, neutron stars, pulsars, and black holes. Key concepts are that nuclear fusion begins in protostars once the core reaches 10 million K, all stars eventually run out of fuel and collapse due to gravity, and the sun will progress from nebula to main sequence star to red giant to planetary nebula to white dwarf and finally black dwarf.

Stars form from collapsing clouds of gas and dust called protostars. Once the core reaches 10 million K, nuclear fusion begins and the star is born. All stars eventually exhaust their nuclear fuel and collapse due to gravity, ending as white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes depending on their size. The life cycle of a star like our sun begins as a nebula, then a main sequence star for most of its lifetime, followed by becoming a red giant, planetary nebula, and ultimately ending as a white dwarf.
Stellar Evolution Powerpoint
This document discusses stellar evolution and how we observe stars across the universe. It notes that we can view stars forming, burning, and exploding using satellites and telescopes. The document also discusses the speed of light being 300,000 km/s and how we can observe stars millions or billions of light years away, seeing light from stars up to 10-15 billion light years away. Finally, it mentions that the Sun will gradually increase in radius and luminosity for another 5 billion years as hydrogen fusion provides its energy.
Galaxies nebulae stars notes
Within galaxies, star forming regions called nebulae contain clouds of dust, hydrogen and helium gases. Stars sometimes form within these nebulae as the gases and dust collapse under their own gravity. A nebula with protostars, or young stars that are still forming, is shown in the diagram. The document then goes on to describe the life cycle of stars like our Sun and the changes it will undergo as it evolves and eventually dies in approximately 5 billion years.
Life Cycle of Stars
A nebula of dust and gas contracts over 10 million years to form a protostar and eventually a star through nuclear fusion. Stars exist in a main sequence phase fusing hydrogen for billions of years depending on their mass. As hydrogen fusion slows, gravity causes smaller stars to expand into red giants and later white dwarfs, while larger stars become supergiants and eventually explode as supernovae, leaving behind neutron stars or black holes.
Stars Presentation
Stars are born when contracting gas and dust become hot enough for nuclear fusion to begin. A star's lifetime depends on its mass - lower mass stars burn fuel more slowly and last longer. A star's surface temperature determines the color we see it as - from reddest and coolest to hottest and bluest or whitest. More massive stars above 8 times our sun's mass live between 10-20 million years as supergiants before ending their lives. All main sequence stars eventually become red giants or supergiants, and then either white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes depending on their original mass.
Birth of the star
Stars are formed in nebulae, clouds of dust and gas found in spiral galaxies. Dense parts of these clouds undergo gravitational collapse, compressing to form a rotating gas globule. As the globule collapses over thousands to millions of years due to gravity and pressure, the increasing temperature and rotation cause it to form a central core and surrounding protoplanetary disk. Once the core reaches temperatures over 27 million degrees and nuclear fusion begins, it becomes a stable main sequence star.
13 lives and deaths of stars
The document discusses stellar evolution and the life cycles of stars. It explains that:
- The evolution of stars depends on their masses, with smaller stars like our Sun ending as white dwarfs and bigger stars ending as neutron stars or black holes after supernova explosions.
- Material from older stars is recycled through planetary nebulae and supernova remnants to form new stars, making stars the ultimate recyclers in the universe.
Star Powerpoint
Stars are formed from clouds of dust and gas collapsing under gravity. They spend most of their life fusing hydrogen into helium in their cores, glowing from the heat and pressure of nuclear fusion. When stars run out of fuel to burn in their cores, they die - smaller stars may become white dwarfs, while larger stars explode as supernovae. The material from exploded stars then disperses to form new dust clouds, starting the next generation of star formation.

Death of a star
Stars eventually die when they exhaust their nuclear fuel. Small stars cool and shrink into white dwarfs, while larger stars that become red giants either shed their outer layers leaving behind dense neutron stars or explode in gigantic supernovae. The oldest stars are around 13.7 billion years old, formed shortly after the Big Bang, while big bright stars only live for around 10 million years and stars like the Sun will live for approximately 10 billion years.

1) Stars originate from nebulae of dust and gas. They spend most of their life fusing hydrogen into helium through nuclear fusion in their cores as main sequence stars.
2) When stars have exhausted their hydrogen, their cores collapse and outer layers expand, forming red giants. More massive stars explode as supernovae, leaving behind neutron stars or black holes.
3) The sun is classified as a yellow dwarf star. Its atmosphere consists of the photosphere, chromosphere, and corona. Nuclear fusion in its core provides its energy.
Stars
Stars can be classified by their temperature as hot blue stars around 30,000 degrees, cool red stars around 2,500 degrees, or yellow stars like our sun around 6,000 degrees. Constellations like Orion can be identified by patterns of brighter stars. The brightness of stars is measured by their apparent and absolute magnitudes, with lower numbers indicating brighter stars. A nebula is a cloud where stars are born, and the Eagle Nebula is an example. Stellar evolution progresses from protostars to main sequence stars like our sun fusing hydrogen, then to giants and supergiants fusing helium, eventually leaving behind planetary nebulae and forming white dwarfs, or in massive stars, supernovae leading to neutron stars or
Characteristics sun
The Sun is our closest star and provides the energy and heat that allows life to exist on Earth. It is over 4.5 billion years old and its diameter is 1,380,000 km, which is 110 times the diameter of Earth. The Sun's mass is 745 times greater than all the planets combined and its surface temperature is over 5,500 degrees Celsius. The Sun has a photosphere with a grainy appearance made of hot granules, and darker sunspots are formed by changes in its magnetic field.

Stellar evolution by joey
Low-mass stars spend millions of years as protostars collapsing under gravity before arriving on the main sequence. Massive stars collapse more rapidly, in as little as 10,000 years. Once on the main sequence, a star's lifetime depends on its mass - low-mass stars can spend billions of years fusing hydrogen, while high-mass stars may last only a few million years. Eventually a star exhausts its hydrogen fuel and expands as a red giant, then moves to the horizontal branch fusing helium before becoming an asymptotic giant branch star and ending its life as a planetary nebula or white dwarf.
Life cycle of stars
The document summarizes the typical lifecycle of a star in 8 stages:
1. Nebula - a cloud of dust and gas that contracts under gravity to form a protostar.
2. Protostar - the interior heats up to over 10,000K and nuclear fusion begins.
3. Main sequence - nuclear fusion of hydrogen occurs steadily for billions of years.
4. Red giant - the star expands greatly after exhausting hydrogen and fuses helium.
5. Planetary nebula - low mass stars eject their outer layers, forming a glowing shell.
6. Supernova - massive stars explode in a gigantic blast, distributing elements into space.
7. White dwarf - the remaining
19 2 Life Cycle Of Stars
The life cycle of stars typically begins as a ball of gas and dust that collapses under gravity into a sphere. As the density increases, the temperature rises and hydrogen fuses into helium, marking the start of the main sequence stage where the star shines steadily for billions of years. Eventually the star runs out of hydrogen fuel in its core, expands into a red giant many times larger than its previous size, and later may collapse into a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole depending on its original mass.
Life Cycle of Stars Stations
The document provides background information on stars' life cycles and how they are determined by mass. It states that stars with greater mass will have shorter life cycles as they must burn hot and fast to maintain equilibrium, using up fuel quickly and dying young in traumatic explosions. Average stars will live longer, peaceful deaths. It then lists directions for an activity involving classifying stars on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram and answering conclusion questions.
The Sun powerpoint
This PowerPoint discusses the Sun at a high school level. It talks about characteristics, solar activities/events, how energy is created, and many more.
Ch 17 -our dynamic sun
The Sun is a dynamic object with complex internal structure and outer atmosphere. It has a core reaching temperatures over 27 million degrees Fahrenheit where nuclear fusion occurs. Energy radiates outward through the radiative zone and flows in convection currents in the convection zone before emerging in the photosphere. Above the photosphere lies the chromosphere and transition region where temperatures rise into the million degrees before reaching the super-hot corona extending far into space. The solar wind and coronal mass ejections influence space weather throughout the solar system.
Stars
Stars are balls of plasma held together by gravity. Nuclear fusion reactions in their cores release electromagnetic radiation, determining their temperature, color, and luminosity. Stars are classified by temperature from hottest O-type blue stars to coolest M-type red stars. Main sequence stars like our Sun derive energy from hydrogen fusion. As stars age, they evolve through red giant, red supergiant, and white dwarf phases before becoming virtually dead brown or neutron stars. The death of massive stars occurs in supernova explosions that can trigger new star formation.
Stars - Stellar Evolution
A star is a hot ball of mostly hydrogen gas held together by gravity. In the core, nuclear fusion reactions generate energy by converting hydrogen to helium. This process is called stellar evolution. As the star's fuel is depleted, its structure changes. Stars evolve through different stages over their lifetimes, from main sequence stars to red giants or supergiants and eventually ending as white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes depending on their original mass.
The sun
The sun is the largest object in the solar system, containing over 99% of its mass. It emits light and heat that support life on Earth and influence all solar system objects. The sun has various internal layers, including the core where energy is produced through nuclear fusion, and an outer atmosphere. Sunspots, solar flares, and other features periodically appear on its surface. In a few billion years, the sun will expand and grow hotter, eventually making Earth uninhabitable.

Stellar Evolution by Raveendra Bagade
Stellar evolution refers to the process by which stars change over their lifetime. As stars age, they undergo nuclear fusion in their cores which fuses lighter elements into heavier ones. Eventually the fuel is depleted, forcing the star to evolve into different phases. Stars begin as hot balls of hydrogen gas and spend most of their lives on the main sequence fusing hydrogen into helium. Later, they expand into red giants or supergiants as heavier elements are fused, and ultimately end their lives as white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes depending on their mass.
Form 3 PMR Science Chapter 9 Anatomy of the Sun
The sun is 110 times bigger than Earth and 333,420 times heavier. It is composed primarily of hydrogen and helium and is located approximately 150 million km from Earth. Light from the sun takes approximately 8 minutes to reach Earth. The sun can be divided into four atmospheric layers - the photosphere, chromosphere, corona, and the sun's outer atmosphere. It also has three interior layers - the core, radiation zone, and convection zone. Nuclear fusion occurring in the core produces immense amounts of energy over its estimated remaining 5.5 billion year lifespan.
Nebulae
There are several types of nebulae including diffuse nebulae, emission nebulae, reflection nebulae, and dark nebulae. Diffuse nebulae are clouds of gas and dust where new stars are forming, while planetary nebulae and supernova remnants are formed by material ejected from old, dying stars. Nebulae can be observed using powerful telescopes from both space, like the Hubble Space Telescope, and large amateur telescopes on Earth.
Stellar stages
1. An interstellar cloud contracts over 1 million years until fragments begin to form protostars.
2. As the fragments continue contracting and heating, they become opaque protostars with temperatures around 10,000 K and masses increasing due to gravity overpowering pressure.
3. After about 100,000 years and temperatures over 1 million K in the core, the protostar reaches the T Tauri phase and evolves over 10 million years until nuclear fusion of hydrogen begins, marking the birth of a new star.

4.2 Stars have Life Cycles
Stars change over their life cycles depending on their mass. Low-mass stars like our Sun remain on the main sequence for billions of years, slowly fusing hydrogen into helium. Eventually they expand into red giants and later cool into white dwarfs. High-mass stars burn through their fuel quickly and explode as supernovae after millions of years, leaving behind neutron stars or black holes. All stars form from contracting nebulae of gas and dust.
A1 18 Stellar Evolution
Typical stellar evolution proceeds through several stages:
1. Red Giant Branch: Stars expand and cool as hydrogen fuses to helium in a shell around the core.
2. Horizontal Giant Branch: A helium flash occurs, followed by helium fusing to carbon in the core while hydrogen fuses in a shell.
3. Asymptotic Giant Branch: Helium and hydrogen shells alternately fuse heavier elements, causing the star to further expand and cool before ejecting its outer layers as a planetary nebula.
Life Cycle Ppt.
Stars are formed from dense clouds of gas and dust called nebulas. Over millions of years, the nebula collapses under gravity to form a protostar. Once the protostar's core reaches 10 million K, nuclear fusion begins and the star enters the main sequence stage. During the main sequence, internal pressure balances gravitational forces. Low and medium mass stars end as white dwarfs, then eventually black dwarfs. Massive stars may explode as supernovae, leaving behind neutron stars or black holes.
Life cycle of stars
There are different life cycle stages for stars depending on their original mass. Low mass stars progress through the stages of nebula, main sequence, red giant, planetary nebula, white dwarf, and black dwarf. High mass stars go through nebula, main sequence, red supergiant, supernova, and either become a neutron star or black hole. The main sequence stage can last billions of years for low mass stars but only millions for high mass stars.

Life cycle of stars
The document summarizes the life cycle of stars from their birth in nebulae to their death as either white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes. It describes how stars are born from dense clouds of gas and dust called nebulae. As stars age, they evolve from the main sequence to red giants fueled by nuclear fusion. Small stars eventually die as white dwarfs, while massive stars die spectacularly in supernovae, leaving behind neutron stars or black holes.
PHYSICAL SCIENCE Q1M1.pptx
The document discusses the life cycle of stars from their formation to their death. It begins by explaining how stars formed shortly after the Big Bang from clouds of gas and dust called nebulae. Young stars still forming are called protostars. When hydrogen fusion begins, protostars become main sequence stars, which fuse hydrogen into helium in their cores to produce energy. Eventually a star runs out of hydrogen fuel and expands into a red giant. The most massive stars die in supernova explosions, while smaller stars end their lives as white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes.
Life cycle of a star
This document discusses the life cycle of stars from their formation to their death. It begins by explaining that stars are giant balls of exploding gas made up mainly of hydrogen and helium. The document then outlines the various stages of a star's life: nebula, protostar, main sequence star, red giant, white dwarf, supernova, neutron star, and black hole. For each stage, it provides a brief description of the physical changes occurring within the star. The document emphasizes that stars much more massive than our sun will end their lives as neutron stars or black holes through the supernova process.
Planetary nebulae formation
Planetary nebulae form during the late stages of evolution for low-to-medium mass stars. As a star expands into a red giant, it ejects its outer layers through pulsations and stellar winds. The hot core ionizes the ejected gas, causing it to glow brightly. This energized shell of nebulous gas appears as a planetary nebula. Examples are the Helix Nebula and Ring Nebula. More massive stars may explode as supernovae, leaving behind neutron stars or black holes, depending on the star's original mass. The document discusses these stages of stellar evolution and death that give rise to different astronomical phenomena like planetary nebulae and neutron stars.

The document also describes different types of nebulae and compact objects like neutron stars and black holes.
Birth to blackhole life of a star.pptx
All stars begin as clouds of dust and gas that collapse under gravity. As the cloud collapses it spins and chunks break off, each becoming a star. Smaller stars like the sun become red giants then white dwarfs, while larger stars explode as supernovae, leaving behind neutron stars or black holes. Black holes form when massive stars collapse at the end of their life, their immense gravity crushing matter into an inescapable singularity.
Stars
Stars are spheres of gas held together by gravity. A star's life cycle depends on its mass, beginning as a nebula and ending as a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole. Small red dwarf stars can last trillions of years while massive blue giants only last 10,000-100,000 years before exploding. Our Sun is a medium yellow star that will become a red giant and eventually a white dwarf. Constellations are patterns of stars used to identify positions in the sky.

This document provides an overview of star formation, evolution, and death. It discusses how stars form from clouds of hydrogen and helium in nebulas. Once stars accumulate enough mass, nuclear fusion begins in their cores. The document outlines the life cycles of stars of different masses, from red giants to supernovae and the formation of neutron stars or black holes. Key stages in a massive star's death are described, such as the core collapse that causes type II supernovae and the ejection of heavier elements into space.

This document summarizes the life cycle of stars from their formation to their death. It begins by explaining how stars are formed from nebulae due to gravity pulling hydrogen gas together. This leads to the main sequence stage where nuclear fusion of hydrogen to helium occurs, powering the star. Eventually stars run out of hydrogen fuel in their cores. Lower mass stars become red giants then white dwarfs. Higher mass stars explode as supernovae, forming neutron stars or black holes. The document also discusses how different elements are synthesized through stellar nucleosynthesis in the cores of stars during their lives and deaths.
Life Cycle Of Stars
All stars begin as nebulae of dust and gas that collapse under gravity into protostars. They fuse hydrogen into helium during the main sequence stage, which is the longest phase in a star's life. A star's ultimate fate depends on its mass. Small mass stars become white dwarfs after the main sequence, while medium mass stars become red giants then white dwarfs. Large mass stars over 15 solar masses may explode as supernovae, leaving behind neutron stars or black holes.
Star Formations and Life Cycles
This document provides information about star formation and the life cycles of stars. It explains that stars form from collapsing clouds of gas and dust, and describes the protostar and T Tauri stages before stars reach the main sequence. It outlines the stages stars pass through as they age, such as becoming red giants or white dwarfs, and how some massive stars end as supernovae or neutron stars. Color and temperature correlations for different types of stars are also presented.

Stars are formed from dense clouds of gas and dust called nebulae. Once formed, stars exist in different life stages depending on their mass. The main sequence stage where nuclear fusion occurs in the core can last billions of years for smaller stars. Eventually stars run out of hydrogen fuel and expand as red giants before shedding their outer layers. The smallest stars collapse into white dwarfs, medium stars may become neutron stars via supernovae, and the largest stars form black holes.
Stars
Stars are giant balls of gas that produce light and heat through nuclear fusion at their cores. They vary greatly in size, from dwarf stars like our Sun to massive supergiant stars over 200 times the Sun's diameter. Stars end their lives in different ways depending on their mass - smaller stars become white dwarfs, while larger stars explode as supernovae or collapse into neutron stars and other compact objects.
Life cycle of stars
The document summarizes the typical lifecycle of a star in 8 stages:
1. Nebula - a cloud of dust and gas that contracts under gravity to form a protostar.
2. Protostar - the interior heats up to over 10,000K and nuclear fusion begins.
3. Main sequence - nuclear fusion of hydrogen occurs steadily for billions of years.
4. Red giant - the star expands greatly after exhausting hydrogen and fuses helium.
5. Planetary nebula - low mass stars eject their outer layers, forming a glowing shell.
6. Supernova - massive stars explode in a gigantic blast, distributing elements into space.
7. White dwarf - the remaining
Life cycle of a star
A star is born from a contracting cloud of gas and dust called a nebula. Over time, the protostar at the center grows hotter through nuclear fusion until it becomes a main sequence star. Low and medium mass stars eventually expand into red giants, then shed their outer layers to form planetary nebulae, leaving behind white dwarf cores. High mass stars live violently, ending as supernovae that form neutron stars or black holes. All stars ultimately die after exhausting their nuclear fuel.
black hole
1) A black hole is a region of space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape its pull. They are formed when a large star runs out of fuel and collapses in on itself due to gravity.
2) There are three main types of black holes: stellar black holes formed by collapsed stars, supermassive black holes found at the center of galaxies that are millions of times the mass of the sun, and theoretical tiny "pinpoint" black holes.
3) When a massive star runs out of nuclear fuel, its stability fails under its own intense gravity, causing its radius to shrink within its Schwarzschild radius and forming a black hole as its outer layers explode

The document summarizes key information about stars and stellar evolution:
- Proxima Centauri is the nearest star to our sun at about 270 km away, while the next closest stars are much farther.
- A star's apparent brightness depends on both its luminosity and distance from Earth. Luminosity is measured by absolute brightness or total power radiated.
- The Hertzsprung-Russell diagram plots stars' temperatures and luminosities and helped show stages of stellar evolution.
- Stars evolve through stages as giants, dwarfs, white and brown dwarfs, neutron stars, pulsars, planetary and diffuse nebulae as their cores fuse hydrogen and heavier elements.

This document defines key terms related to the animal kingdom, including invertebrates, vertebrates, feedback inhibition, blastula, protostomes, deuterostomes, radial symmetry, bilateral symmetry, and more. It describes animals as multicellular, eukaryotic heterotrophs and outlines their essential functions of feeding, respiration, circulation, excretion, response, movement, and reproduction. Complex animals are noted to have high cell specialization, internal organization, bilateral symmetry, a head with sense organs, and a body cavity.
Biology 26.2
Sponges contain specialized cells like choanocytes that use flagella to move water through the sponge for feeding, respiration, circulation, and excretion. They have structures like spicules made of calcium carbonate or silica that form their skeleton, and archaeocytes that produce these spicules. Sponges reproduce through internal fertilization and larval stages, and some can form protective gemmules during unfavorable conditions.
Biology 22.5
Angiosperms are flowering plants that reproduce sexually through flowers. Flowers contain ovaries that surround and protect seeds. Angiosperms are divided into monocots and dicots based on whether their seeds have one cotyledon (monocot) or two cotyledons (dicot). Flowering plants can also be annuals, biennials, or perennials depending on whether their life cycle is one, two, or more than two years.

The document discusses Precambrian time from 4.56 billion years ago until the Cambrian period over 4 billion years later. It describes shields as flat expanses of ancient metamorphic rock within continental interiors. Stromatolites are layered mounds formed from algae trapping sediment and calcium carbonate. Earth's original atmosphere lacked oxygen but primitive organisms evolved photosynthesis which began releasing oxygen into the atmosphere around 2.5 billion years ago.
Earth science 13.4
The Cenozoic Era saw the rise of mammals as the dominant land animal, replacing reptiles. Flowering plants known as angiosperms also became the dominant land plant over gymnosperms. Major geological events like mountain building, volcanism, and earthquakes occurred in western regions due to plate tectonics during this era. Mammals were better adapted than reptiles for more active lifestyles through bearing live young and maintaining steady body temperatures.
Earth science 13.2
The Paleozoic Era saw an explosion of life, as the continents of Gondwana and Laurasia formed most of the southern and northern portions of the supercontinent Pangea. During the Cambrian, Ordovician, and Silurian periods, life was restricted to the seas surrounding Gondwana, which contained the continents of present-day South America, Africa, Australia, Antarctica, and parts of Asia. By the end of the Paleozoic Era, around 400 million years ago, all continents had fused into the single landmass of Pangea, and plants first began moving from waterside habitats onto land.
Earth science 13.3
The Mesozoic era was the Age of Reptiles, where reptiles like dinosaurs quickly became the dominant land animals due to developing shelled eggs. Gymnosperms also dominated as the prominent plant during this time. A major geological event was the breakup of the supercontinent Pangea. Many reptile groups went extinct at the end of the Mesozoic era.

Continental drift is the hypothesis that the continents were once joined together and have since drifted apart. Originally proposed by Wegener, it suggests the continents were part of a supercontinent called Pangaea approximately 200 million years ago that has since broken apart, moving the landmasses into their current positions. Fossil and rock evidence support this idea, including matching fossil organisms and mountain ranges found on separate continents today that indicate the continents were once joined.

This document discusses seismograms and the different types of seismic waves that are recorded, including P waves, S waves, and surface waves. It explains that seismograms amplify and electronically record ground motion from earthquakes, allowing scientists to determine the epicenter location using travel time graphs from multiple seismographs. The document also covers historical intensity and magnitude scales used to describe earthquake size and introduces moment magnitude as the most widely used scale today because it estimates the energy released.
Biology 28 2 groups of arthropods
This document defines and describes key anatomical terms used to classify groups of arthropods. It discusses the cephalothorax, thorax, and abdomen found in crustaceans, as well as specific structures like the carapace, mandibles, chelipeds, swimmerets, chelicerae, pedipalps, and spinnerets. It concludes with three key concepts: arthropods are classified by body segments and appendages, especially mouthparts; crustaceans typically have two antennae, two or three body sections, and mandibles; and chelicerates have chelicerae mouthparts and two body sections, with nearly all having four pairs of walking legs.
Biology 2.4
Chemical reactions involve reactants being converted into products through breaking and forming chemical bonds, requiring a minimum amount of energy called the activation energy. Catalysts like enzymes speed up reactions by lowering this activation energy, with enzymes being protein catalysts that facilitate substrate reactions within cells.

This document discusses radiometric dating and how it is used to determine the absolute ages of rocks and minerals. It explains key concepts such as radioactivity, half-life, and how comparing ratios of radioactive isotopes like carbon-14 and carbon-12 can be used to calculate radiocarbon dates for samples. Radiometric dating relies on the fact that radioactive isotopes decay at a constant rate and comparing the amounts of parent and daughter isotopes allows the age of a sample to be estimated.

Wind shapes landscapes through processes like deflation, desert pavement formation, and loess and dune deposition. Deflation is the lifting and removal of loose material by wind. Desert pavement is a layer of coarse pebbles created when wind removes finer material. Loess deposits are windblown silt deposits that form blanket-like layers, while dunes are ridges of wind-deposited sand that can vary in shape depending on wind and vegetation factors.
Earth science 7.2
Much of the weathered debris in deserts comes from mechanical weathering like alluvial fans formed where stream slopes abruptly decrease. While chemical weathering is less common, over long periods clays and thin soils can form. Desert streams are ephemeral, only flowing after rain, and often drying up before reaching oceans due to evaporation and soil infiltration. Most desert erosion comes from running water, though wind also erodes deserts, water does the most erosional work.
Earth science 7.1
Glaciers are large masses of ice that originate on land from compacted snow and move due to gravity. During an ice age, large ice sheets form on continents and flow outward, carving U-shaped valleys and depositing unsorted sediment called till. Valley glaciers are smaller glaciers confined to mountain valleys that flow due to plastic deformation and basal sliding between the ice and bedrock.
Earth science 6.3
Groundwater exists below the surface in the saturated zone where all spaces between rock and sediment are filled with water. The water table marks the top of this zone, and groundwater moves slowly through porous and permeable materials. Springs form where the water table intersects the surface, and overuse or contamination can threaten groundwater supplies in some areas. Karst regions have irregular terrain with sinkholes caused by erosion of soluble rock by groundwater in caverns below the water table.

This document defines key terms related to streams and their processes, including bed load, capacity, alluvium, delta, natural levee, floodplain, flood, drainage basin, divide. It also describes concepts such as how streams erode and deposit sediment according to flow velocities, and how flooding occurs and can be mitigated. The overall work of streams is to shape the landscape through erosion, transportation, and deposition of sediment within drainage basins.
Earth science 6.1
The document discusses key concepts about running water and the water cycle. It defines terms like infiltration, transpiration, gradient, stream channel, discharge, tributary, base level, and meander. It explains that water constantly circulates among the oceans, atmosphere, geosphere, and biosphere in the water cycle. Balance in the cycle means annual precipitation equals evaporation globally. A stream's ability to erode and transport materials depends on its velocity, while gradient decreases and discharge increases from headwaters to the mouth.
