Second Unit Atmospheric Environment
I. Examination Content Analysis
1. Composition of the atmosphere and the role of the main components of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, water vapor, ozone and solid impurities
Lower atmospheric composition: a stable proportion of dry and clean air (oxygen and nitrogen are dominant), unstable content of water vapor, solid impurities
Nitrogen - the basic components of living organisms
Oxygen - essential for life activities
Carbon dioxide - raw material for photosynthesis; thermal insulation
Ozone - the umbrella for life on earth, absorbing ultraviolet rays
Water vapor and solid impurities - to form clouds and cause rain; impurities: condensation nuclei
2. Vertical stratification of the atmosphere and the impact of each layer on human activities
Atmospheric stratification Temperature changes with height Airflow conditions Other characteristics and human relations Airflow conditions Other characteristics Relationship with human beings
Troposphere The higher the lower the troposphere Troposphere 3/4 of atmospheric mass; water vapor and dust; inconsistency of layer heights at various latitudes Weather phenomena
Stratosphere The higher the stratosphere The higher the stratosphere Flat currents High-altitude flights; presence of the ozone layer
Upper atmosphere Presence of the ionosphere (radio communication; solar activity interferes with short-wave communication
3. Heat process
(1) the fundamental source of energy: solar radiation (the range of wavelengths of various types of radiation and the nature of solar radiation - short-wave radiation)
(2) the heat process of the atmosphere (the thermal role of the atmosphere) - the sun heats up the earth, the earth heats up the atmosphere
the weakening effect of the atmosphere on the sun's radiation: the three forms and the phenomenon of their respective (illustrated by examples)
The main reason affecting the size of the weakening: the sun's altitude angle (the weakening of each latitude is different)
The thermal insulation of the atmosphere on the ground:
Knowledge of terrestrial radiation (infrared long-wave radiation); atmospheric radiation (infrared long-wave radiation)
The process of thermal insulation: strong absorption of terrestrial long-wave radiation in the atmosphere; atmospheric inversion of the radiation will be returned to the surface of the heat (diagrams and examples) (Illustration - such as the time of frost; the size of the daily temperature difference comparison)
The significance of insulation: reduce the daily difference in temperature; to ensure that the Earth's appropriate temperature; to maintain the global heat balance
4, the causes of atmospheric vertical and horizontal movement
(1) the fundamental cause of atmospheric movement: hot and cold inequality (between latitudes; between land and sea)
(2) (2) forms of atmospheric movement:
(2) the atmosphere's heat and cold are not uniformly distributed, and the atmosphere's heat and cold are not uniformly distributed, so the atmosphere is not uniformly distributed. (2) Forms of atmospheric motion:
Simplest form: thermodynamic circulation (diagrams and explanations); examples: suburban winds; sea-land winds; monsoon main causes
Decomposition of the thermodynamic circulation: uneven heating and cooling causes vertical motion of the atmosphere
Difference in horizontal air pressure
Horizontal air currents from high pressure to low pressure
horizontal motion of the atmosphere (winds):
Root cause of wind formation: uneven heating and cooling
Direct cause of wind formation: horizontal pressure difference (or horizontal barometric pressure gradient force)
Three forces affecting the wind: horizontal barometric pressure gradient force; geostrophic bias force; and surface friction
Determination of the direction of the wind: 1 force wind (theoretical wind) - perpendicular to the isobars, with high pressure pointing to low pressure.2 force wind (wind at high altitude) - parallel to the isobars and north rightward, south leftward.3 Force wind (actual surface wind) - diagonally across the isobar, north rightward, south leftward
Note the drawing of the wind direction at a point in the actual surface barometric pressure field in the Northern Hemisphere
5. Three-circle circulation and formation of barometric pressure zones and wind zones
(1) No rotation, uniform surface - single-circle circulation (thermodynamic circulation)
(2) Rotation, surface uniform - three-ring circulation
(3) Composition of three-ring circulation: 0-30 low-latitude circulation; 30-60 mid-latitude circulation; 60-90 high-latitude circulation
Surface formation of 7 pressures and 6 winds: the ideal pattern of latitudinal distribution (banding)
Dry and wet conditions of each pressure band (low-pressure wet; high-pressure dry)
Winds and dry and wet conditions of each wind band (trade winds) generally drier; westerly winds wetter)
Polar front: near 60 degrees, formed by the meeting of the prevailing westerly winds and the polar easterly winds
Barometric and wind belts move with the seasonal north-south shift of the sun's direct point
(4) Influence of sea-land distribution on the barometric and wind belts: the actual surface conditions (blocky)
The most important influence: the difference in the sea-land thermal
Expression (center of atmospheric activity):
July (summer) in the Northern Hemisphere: low pressure in Asia-Europe-Asia; high pressure in the Pacific Ocean
January (winter) in the Northern Hemisphere: high pressure in Asia-Europe-Asia; low pressure in the Pacific Ocean
(5) Monsoon Circulation (pay attention to the graphic)
Conceptual Understanding: it is an integral part of the global atmospheric circulation; the monsoon in East Asia is the most
The causes of the monsoon:
The main cause - the difference in heat between land and sea (can explain the winter and summer monsoon in East Asia; the winter winds in South Asia)
The causes of the summer winds in South Asia - the south-east trade winds of the Southern Hemisphere move northward across the equator and right into the southwest winds (or to generalize: seasonal movement of the barometric pressure belt and the wind belt)
The impact of the monsoon: monsoons of the **** characteristics: the same time as the heat and rain; large seasonal variations in precipitation. The seasonal variations in precipitation make it prone to droughts and floods
The two monsoon climates of East Asia and their respective distribution areas (bounded by the Qinhuai line); the characteristics of their climates
--Temperate monsoon climate: monsoon area north of the Qinhuai line; dry and cold in the winter; hot and humid in the summer
--Subtropical monsoon climate: monsoon area south of the Qinhuai line; mild and rainy in the winter; hot and humid in the summer
--East Asian monsoon climate. Both monsoon climates have the same winter and summer monsoon wind directions and the same causes
-- Note the distribution of air-polluting enterprises in the industrial layout of cities in the monsoon zone Tropical monsoon climate in South Asia:
-- High temperatures throughout the year, alternating between the dry season (controlled by the northeast monsoon) and the rainy season (controlled by the southwest monsoon) Monsoon zones are the main distribution areas of the world's rice cultivation industry
-- East Asia, South Asia, and Southeast Asia's monsoon climate zone and Southeast Asia's tropical rainforest climate zone

Unit III Terrestrial and Marine Environments
Major rock-forming minerals and the three main types of rocks
Chemical elements -- minerals
Major rock-forming minerals - rocks
Major rock-forming minerals: quartz, mica, feldspar, calcite, etc.
There are three major groups of rocks according to their origin:
Magmatic rocks:
divided into intrusive rocks (e.g. granite - composed of feldspar, quartz, and mica) and extrusive rocks (e.g. basalt)
Granite is an excellent building material and decorative material
Sedimentary rocks: formed by external forces; e.g., limestone; form rock formations (which often contain fossils)
Limestone is an important raw material for burning lime and cement
Metamorphic rocks: e.g., marble (mainly composed of calcite, which is an excellent building and decorative material)

Effects of plate movements on the earth's surface - formation of sea-land distribution, land land-geomorphic patterns
Plate tensional boundaries ( growth boundaries): formation of rift valleys and oceans, e.g., East African Rift, Atlantic Ocean
Plate extrusion boundaries (extinction boundaries): often form mountain ranges
Continental and oceanic plate extrusion - trenches; island arcs, coastal mountain ranges

Summary
The constant interaction of internal and external forces, the transformation of energy and exchange of materials between the earth and the outside of the earth, especially the circulation of materials on the earth's surface, which is directly participated by the atmosphere, water, and the biological world and plays an important role, has a profound influence on the surface morphology, and the formation of rocks on the earth's surface, the change of landforms, and the development of the soil layer are closely related to this.

Rivers, lakes, and groundwater have a complementary relationship between the water source (determined by the water level is not higher); natural water resources in the constant movement of renewals and the cycle of transformation of each other Lake Water and reservoirs regulate seasonal and inter-annual changes in river runoff (e.g., Poyang Lake and Dongting Lake in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China)
Sea water temperature and salinity and their relationship with the environment
Distribution patterns of sea water temperature:
A Changes in the oceanic heat balance in the Northern Hemisphere with latitude - P70 Fig. 3-3
(heat balance factors in the figure, the temperature zones in which the surplus and deficit zones are distributed, and the latitude at which the point of change from surplus to deficit is located)
B Latitudinal distribution of surface SST--P71 Fig. 3-5
Decreasing from low latitude to high latitude (the reason for this is the result of the change in heat balance with latitude)
C Variation of vertical SST - P70 Figure 3-4
Decreasing with depth (note the trend of the curves in the figure); deeper waters below 1000 meters remain cold
Salinity of seawater
A mass fraction of saline substances in seawater; the world's oceans Average salinity is 3.5%
B Latitudinal distribution pattern of surface salinity - Figure 3-5 of P71
Decreases from subtropical sea areas in the northern and southern hemispheres to higher and lower latitudes on either side
Reason: slightly lower at the equator - equator rainy, more precipitation than evaporation;
Highest in the subtropics - controlled by the subheights, evaporation greatly outweighs precipitation
Decreasing toward higher latitudes - lower temperatures, weaker evaporation, more precipitation than evaporation
C Factors affecting salinity < /p>
Precipitation vs. evaporation: outer seas vs. oceans; major factors in salinity from low to high latitudes
Freshwater injection: nearshore (estuaries)
D highest salinity in the Red Sea - subtropical; low freshwater injection
lowest salinity in the Baltic Sea -large freshwater injection; more precipitation than evaporation;
Salinity in the sea at the mouth of the Yangtze River is low in summer and high in winter -summer is the flood season of the Yangtze River
Main forms of seawater movement
Three main types of seawater movement
Waves, tides, and currents
Waves: wind waves, tsunamis, etc.
Tides: the phenomenon of periodic rise and fall of seawater under the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon
Ocean currents: the flow of seawater that is more stable year-round and large-scale
Causes and geographic significance of ocean currents
Causes of ocean currents
A Atmospheric motion and near-surface wind zones - the -the main driving force;
E.g. wind currents:
North and South Equatorial Warm Currents formed by the trade winds; westerly drift; North Indian Ocean Monsoon Circulation reversed in winter and smooth in summer
B Uneven density of seawater-causes of ocean currents in localized seas
E.g. Density currents: surface currents between the Mediterranean Sea Surface currents between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean
C Compensatory effects
E.g. Compensatory currents: upwelling in the Peruvian fishing grounds
Geographic significance of ocean currents
A Self-purification and dispersal of pollutants
B Transportation and exchange of heat between high and low latitudes to regulate heat distribution globally
Vertical cold currents cool and reduce humidity; warm currents increase temperature and humidity ( To be able to determine cold and warm currents based on sea water isotherms-example P90 Figure 3-33)
(e.g., the effect of the North Atlantic Warm Current on the oceanic climate of Western Europe;
the causes of the deserts along the west coast of Australia and the Pacific coast of Peru)
C Formation of large fisheries
Meetings of cold and warm currents: e.g., the Newfoundland fishing grounds and the Japanese Hokkaido Fishing grounds (convergence of cold and warm currents in Thousand Islands and Japan)
Upwelling: Peruvian fishing grounds
D Nautical

(2) The gray and dark arrows in the figure indicate the respective water cycles on land and in the ocean
In which the amount of water replenished to land water bodies by the land cycle is very small
Effects of the water cycle on the land surface
A constant renewal of freshwater resources and maintenance of the dynamic balance of the global water is one of the most active material
B It absorbs, transforms, transmits and regulates the solar radiation energy on the surface, thus realizing the material migration and energy exchange between the various layers of the earth's surface and between the land and the sea
C It affects the global climate and ecology
D It shapes the surface morphology, such as water-eroded and waterlogged geomorphology, etc.

Transformation of the three major circles, the face of the earth has undergone a fundamental change, forming a geographic environment suitable for human survival
Changes in the composition of the atmosphere;
Changes in the composition of the terrestrial water; the participation of green plants in the water cycle, which improves the terrestrial water situation
The emergence of organisms accelerated the weathering of rocks and facilitated the formation of soils; sedimentary rocks are mostly formed with the biological The formation of sedimentary rocks is mostly under the participation of organisms
Environmental benefits (varying from place to place):
A purifying the air, regulating the climate, nourishing water, maintaining soil and water, and preventing winds and fixing sands, so as to improve the ecological conditions, protect the farmland and pastureland, and guarantee the stable and high yield of the agriculture and animal husbandry industry;
B urban green space has the function of smoking and removing dust, filtering the air, lowering the noise level, and beautifying the environment
Biological indicators of the environment
Biology's role on the Indicative role of the environment
Plant growth on the environment (of which the influence of light, heat and water of the climate constraints are prominent) dependence and adaptation to the environment, and thus have a clear indicative role on the environment
Camel's thorn - arid environments; lotus flowers - -water-wet environments;
"Sprout dates, plant cotton" - plant indication of climate;
Damaged petunia leaves - - an indication of sulphur dioxide pollution
11. Soil formation and its role in geography
Formation process:
Weathering Lower organisms colonize the soil Higher plants colonize the soil
Rocks form the parent material of the soil Primitive soil Mature soil
Biological organisms play a dominant role in the process of soil formation
Incorporation of lower plants and microorganisms on the matrices marks the beginning of soil formation
The presence of organisms accelerates the weathering of the rock and the development of the matrices' fertility;
The modification of the matrices by organisms: firstly, the process of accumulation of organic matter; secondly, the process of enrichment of nutrient elements
Selective uptake Photosynthesis
Mineral nutrients Plants Organic matter
Soil fertility humus
The role of soil in the geographic environment
In the transition zone between the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere in close contact with each other, is the product of the integrated action of the elements of the terrestrial environment;
Soil is the surface of the material cycle and the energy transformation of the site is very active, is the connection between the organic world and the inorganic world of the central link;
Soil has fertility properties that enable the growth of plants, providing conditions for plant growth, thus making a fundamental change in the appearance of the surface
12, the interrelationship between natural resources and human activities (to be examined)
natural resources can provide raw materials, energy and essential material conditions for human production and life;
exploitation and utilization of natural resources require certain technological conditions and capital investment
