Knowledge (Here's a quiz) Links and Other Resources (related websites and research materials) For the past 140 years, U.S. oil and gas companies have been helping to improve the quality of life in the United States by making it possible for people to live in harmony with our nation's variable and, sometimes, not-so-friendly climate. Our products keep homes warm in winter and cool in summer. They help parents get their children to school and themselves to work. We supply the fuels that help farmers sow and reap their crops and transport them to market. Oil and natural gas are ingredients in medicines, crop fertilizers, fabrics, and plastics. Airplanes fly, trains roll down the tracks, and buses speed along the highway powered by our products. In short, the energy born of oil and natural gas products enables all of us to live our lives with relative ease and comfort, year-round, through all kinds of weather. Recently, scientists have been debating whether the burning of oil and natural gas products and coal are affecting the climate of our globe and

184. Plate Movements And Climate Change Student exercise from Karen L. Bice of Pennsylvania State University. http://www.beloit.edu/~SEPM/Earth_Works/Plate_Movements.html

PLATE MOVEMENTS AND CLIMATE CHANGE Karen L. Bice Department of Geosciences Pennsylvania State University University Park, PA 16802 Level: Grades 7 and above Estimated Time Required: 50 minutes Anticipated Learning Outcomes Students will gain an understanding of how the movements of the Earth's plates over the past 180 million years (abbreviated My) may have affected the climate of the continents. Students will use maps of ancient continental positions and, with some basic concepts about climate zones, hypothesize what climate changes may have occurred due to plate movements. Background Climate is simply weather "averaged" over a time period of one year or more. In general terms, the climate in most of the United States and Canada is "temperate". Moving to the south, closer to the equator, the climate is "subtropical" and then "tropical". At the Earth's poles the climate is termed "polar". Each of these climate zones is characterized by a distinctive temperature range, rainfall amount, and type of vegetation. In a very simplified sense, climate zones are oriented roughly parallel to lines of latitude about the Earth. However, according to the theory of plate tectonics, the continents "ride" on dynamic plates which make up the Earth's surface. Although the resulting movement of the continents is very slow, over millions of years it is enough to get a continent from one place to another, and that movement may take the landmass through several latitudes and climate zones.

NSSDC Master Catalog: Spacecraft Mars Climate Orbiter NSSDC ID: Other Name(s) Mars '98 Orbiter Mars Surveyor 98 Orbiter Launch Date/Time: 1998-12-11 at 18:45:51 UTC On-orbit dry mass: 338 kg Nominal Power Output: 500 W Description The Mars Surveyor '98 program is comprised of two spacecraft launched separately, the Mars Climate Orbiter (formerly the Mars Surveyor '98 Orbiter) and the Mars Polar Lander (formerly the Mars Surveyor '98 Lander). The two missions were to study the Martian weather, climate, and water and carbon dioxide budget, in order to understand the reservoirs, behavior, and atmospheric role of volatiles and to search for evidence of long-term and episodic climate changes. The Mars Climate Orbiter was destroyed when a navigation error caused it to miss its target altiude at Mars by 80 to 90 km, instead entering the martian atmosphere at an altitude of 57 km during the orbit insertion maneuver. Science Objectives Spacecraft and Subsystems The Mars Climate Orbiter is a box shaped spacecraft about 2.1 m high, 1.6 m wide, and 2 m deep, consisting of stacked propulsion and equipment modules. The total spacecraft launch mass of 629 kg includes 291 kg of propellant. An 11 square meter solar array wing, measuring 5.5 m tip-to-tip, is attached by 2-axis gimbal to one side and a 1.3 m diameter high-gain dish antenna is attached by 2-axis gimbal to a mast at the top of the propulsion module. The MARCI and PMIRR instruments, as well as a UHF antenna and battery enclosure, are mounted to the bottom of the equipment module.
