The document discusses energy transfer in the atmosphere and hydrosphere. It explains that the atmosphere and hydrosphere absorb and store thermal energy from the sun, acting as heat sinks to help regulate Earth's temperature. Radiation from the sun is mostly absorbed by gases in the atmosphere like water vapor, carbon dioxide, and ozone. Conduction and convection transfer heat within the atmosphere. The hydrosphere includes water in oceans, lakes, ice, and vapor in the air. The water cycle involves evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. Ocean currents influence global and regional climates.

Oceans are a vast body of salt water that covers almost three to fourths of the earth's surface.
Seas are smaller, found on the margins of the ocean and are partially enclosed by land.
Seawater:
High density, high heat capacity, colder, salty and slightly compressible (its volume decreases under pressure), thus its density increases with pressure.
Why is Ocean Circulation Important?
•Similar to winds in the atmosphere, they transfer significant amounts of heat from equatorial areas to the poles and thus play important roles in determining the climates of coastal regions.
•The ocean circulation pattern exchanges water of varying characteristics, such as temperature and salinity
•ocean currents and atmospheric circulation influence one another.
•in addition, they transport nutrients and organisms

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2. What is the Atmosphere?
• Surrounds the Earth
• made up of 21% Oxygen , 78% Nitrogen
• Thermosphere, Mesosphere, Stratosphere,
Troposphere
• Each layer has different temperatures
3.
4. Radiation in the Atmosphere
• Source : Sun
• Most of the radiation energy is absorbed.
• Some energy is reflected back into space
Radiation is when particles or waves are
transferred in a medium or space, in the
form of electromagnetic waves
5. Absorption
►Turns energy into another type of energy,
eg. Thermal energy
►Water vapor , carbon dioxide, ozone, major
absorbing gases
►Clouds, atmosphere , land radiates energy
back into space
6.
7. ► The atmosphere and hydrosphere are the two
essential parts of the climate system
They both are able to absorb and store thermal
energy , so they act as heat sinks.
► Absorbing thermal (heat) energy and storing it
helps regulate the temperature of the Earth.
8. How Is Energy Transferred in the
Atmosphere?
• Conduction is when heat gets transferred in
solids and fluids by molecules bumping into
each other (by contact).
• Convection is when molecules (heat) moves
throughout a liquid or gas.
• .
• .
9.
10. The Water Cycle
The continuous
movement of water into
the air, onto land, and
then back to water
sources.
11. Evaporation
• Liquid water is heated by the sun and then rises
into the atmosphere.
• Water continually evaporates from Earth’s
oceans, lakes, streams, and soil.
• Majority of water evaporates from the oceans.
12. Condensation
• Water vapor forms water droplets on dust
particles.
• Water droplets form clouds, in which the
droplets collide, stick together, create heavier
and larger droplets.
13. Precipitation
• After the larger droplets form during
condensation, they fall from the clouds as:
– Rain
– Snow
– Sleet
– Hail
14. The Hydrosphere
• The hydrosphere includes all of the water on
or near the Earth’s surface.
• This includes water in the oceans, lakes, rivers,
wetlands, polar ice caps, soil, rock layers
beneath Earth’s surface, and clouds.
16. The Earth’s Oceans
• All of the ocean’s are joined.
• 70% of Earth’s surface is covered by salt water.
• Largest Ocean = Pacific Ocean
• Smallest Ocean = Arctic Ocean
17. Ocean Water - Salinity
• Ocean water contains more salts than fresh
water.
• Most of the salt is sodium chloride. NaCl
• The salt comes from:
– dissolved out of rocks on land and carried down the
rivers into the oceans.
– Underwater volcanic eruptions
18. Ocean Water
• Salinity – concentration of all the dissolved
salts. (Average – 3.5% by weight)
• Salinity is lower in places that get a lot of rain
or fresh water that flows into the ocean.
• Salinity is higher where water evaporates
rapidly and leaves the salt behind.
19. Ocean Water – Temp. Zones
• The surface of the ocean is warmed by the
sun.
• The depths of the ocean have temperatures
slightly above freezing.
• Thermocline – The boundary between the
warm and cold layers where the temperature
falls rapidly with depth.
21. Temperature Regulation
• One of the most important functions of the world
ocean is to absorb and store energy from the
sunlight.
• The capacity of the ocean to absorb and store
energy from sunlight regulates temperature in
the Earth’s atmosphere.
• The world ocean absorbs over half of the solar
radiation that reaches the Earth’s surface.
22. Water Bodies as Temperature buffers
• The northern hemisphere is 39 percent land and 61 percent ocean. The
southern hemisphere is 19 percent land and 81 percent ocean. Due to larger
portion of water in the southern hemisphere the land south of the equator
experience an annual temperature variation by 7.3 degrees Celsius from
summer to winter. In the northern hemisphere the variation could be up to 14.3
degrees Celsius.
23. Temperature Regulation
• Local temperatures in different areas of the
planet are also regulated by the world ocean.
• Currents that circulate warm water cause the
land areas they flow past to have a more
moderate climate.
24. Regional Climate
• The great lakes are also
known for the strong
moderating effect they
have on the climate of the
areas that surrounded
these lakes. These huge
water masses keep
summer and winter
temperature moderate,
they also provide a lot of
moisture.
25. Ocean Currents
• Surface Currents - Streamlike movements of
water that occur at or near the surface of the
ocean.
– Result from global wind patterns
– May be warm-water or cold-water currents
– Influence the climate of land areas they flow past
26. Ocean Currents
• Deep Currents – Streamlike movements of water
that flow very slowly along the ocean floor.
– Form when cold, dense water from the poles sinks
below warmer, less dense ocean water and flows
toward the equator.
– The densest, coldest water is located off the coast of
Antarctica.
– This cold water sinks to the bottom of the ocean and
moves very slowly northward to produce the Antarctic
Bottom Water.
28. • Oceans are warmer near the equator than oceans
near the polar region. The atmospheric circulation
that is set up between the equator and the poles
helps in the redistribution of water masses.
• Wind that blows over the ocean surface drags and
starts to move the surface water, these currents
are influenced by the Coriolis force. The Coriolis
force is used to describe the effect of Earth’s
rotation on the motion of moving objects.
• Ocean currents are influenced by the position of
landmasses. In the Pacific currents correspond to
the patterns of the surface winds; currents are
more complex near the Indian and Atlantic Ocean.
In the North Atlantic, the Gulfstream pushes the
warm water towards the North Pole and cold air
back towards the equator.
Ocean Currents and Coriolis Force
29. • The region that lies between 23.5 degrees north
and 23.5 degrees south of equator is called
tropics. This region receives a large amount of
solar energy which creates a flow of warm
current, which flows towards the poles. When
the current reaches the poles it starts its
journey back towards the equator, this process
is defined by great ocean conveyor belt. In a
conveyor the currents carrying warmer and less
dense water move in one direction while
currents carrying salty and cold water move in
the opposite direction.
• The conveyor occurs due to two facts. First
reason is due to the variation in water
temperature, as warm water is lighter and less
dense than the cold water. Second reason is due
to the difference in amount of salt present in
the ocean water. As freshwater is lighter and
less dense than the salty water. Due to these
two factors stated the creation of thermohaline
circulation is created.
Conveyor Belt and Thermohaline
Circulation
30. Cycle of Ocean Current
• Within the oceans there is a sophisticated system of
massive streams that helps to circulate the ocean waters.
The gulf stream that moves into the North Atlantic sinks as
it cools and returns south though the Atlantic seafloor, it
then flows as a bottom current up until the South Atlantic
form there it rises to the surface in the Indian Ocean and
the Eastern Pacific to warm up and then turns west
towards the Gulfstream. For a complete run through this
current system takes about 1000 years.
• This current system is very delicate minor changes can
upset the balance of temperature differences and
prevailing winds. Scientists have said that the melting of
the Greenland icecap can cause so much melt water of low
salinity and density that this could prevent the Gulfstream
from sinking and returning as a southward bottom current.
This would affect the current system and cause waters
near the equator and regions close to the equator to get
warmer and northern Europe to get colder
32. Fresh Water
• 3% of all the water on Earth is fresh water.
• Most is locked up in icecaps and glaciers
• Also found in lakes, rivers, wetlands, the soil,
rock layers below the surface, in the
atmosphere
33. River Systems
• A network of streams that drains an area of
land
• Contains all the land drained by the river
including the main river and its tributaries
• Tributaries – smaller streams or rivers that
flow into larger ones
35. Groundwater
• Rain and melting snow sink into ground and
run off the land.
• Some ends up in streams and rivers but most
trickles down through the ground and collects
as groundwater.
• Less than 1% of all water on Earth.
36. Aquifer
• Aquifer - A rock layer that stores and allows
the flow of groundwater.
• Recharge Zone – The surface of the land
where water enters an aquifer.
