Physical Weathering - the process of breaking down rocks
Conserve - to prevent; or to avoid wasteful use. without changing their chemical composition.

considered 0 degrees longitude. The prime meridian passes

the weather is warmer.
Mesosphere - the region of the earth's atmosphere above
the stratosphere and below the thermosphere, between
about 30 and 50 miles (50 and 80 km) in altitude.
Ozone - a molecule composed of three atoms of oxygen and
mostly found in the stratosphere. Though beneficial in the
upper atmosphere, at ground level, ozone is called
photochemical smog, and is a respiratory irritant and
considered a pollutant.
Ozone Depletion - destruction of the ozone layer caused by
the release of CFC's (chlorofluorocarbons) into the
atmosphere which react chemically with ozone and break it
down into different gases.
Ozone Layer - an atmospheric shield providing the earth
with protection from ultraviolet rays which can cause sun
burn, skin cancer and the destruction of the planets food
chain.
Stratosphere - the layer of the earth's atmosphere above
the troposphere, extending to about 32 miles (50km) above
the earth's surface (the lower boundary of the
mesosphere).
Sea Breeze - the moving air or wind from sea to land during
day time.

Eclipse - it is the partial or complete blocking from view of
one object by another.
Equinox - the two days of the year on which neither
hemisphere is tilted forward or away from the sun results to
equal length of daytime and night time.
Lunar Eclipse - it occurs when the moon move through
earth's shadow at full moon.
Partial Eclipse - it happens when the sun)/moon/earth are
not exactly aligned in the same plane but are close.
Penumbra - only part of the light is block so the light is
dimmed but not totally absent.
Seasons - the effect of earth's revolution around the sun.
Solar Eclipse - it occurs when the moon passes directly
between noon casting a shadow on earth and blocking our
view of the sun.
Total Solar Eclipse - the moon is in just the right place and
at just the right distance to completely block the bright
surface of the sun at the middle point of the eclipse. When
that happens, called “totality” we see the beautiful corona
(meaning crown) of the sun.
Umbra - the part of a shadow in which all of the light has
been block.
