Key Science Terms and definitions covered in this textbook
  • Advection fog

    A fog formed when warm, moist air is blown over a cool surface.

  • Asteroid belt

    The region in which most asteroids orbit the Sun between Mars and Jupiter.

  • Climate

    A description of aggregate weather conditions; the sum of all statistical weather information that helps describe a place or region.

  • Deep-ocean trench

    See Trench.

  • Distributary

    A section of a stream that leaves the main flow.

  • Geosphere

    The solid Earth, the largest of Earth’s four major spheres.

  • Hanging valley

    A tributary valley that enters a glacial trough at a considerable height above its floor.

  • Hydrogenous sediment

    Seafloor sediments consisting of minerals that crystallize from seawater. An important example is manganese nodules.

  • Infrared

    Radiation with a wavelength from 0.7 to 200 micrometers.

  • Intensity (earthquake)

    A measure of the degree of earthquake shaking at a given locale based on the amount of damage.

  • Lightning

    A sudden flash of light generated by the flow of electrons between oppositely charged parts of a cumulonimbus cloud or between the cloud and the ground.

  • Longshore current

    A nearshore current that flows parallel to the shore.

  • Mantle plume

    A mass of hotter-than-normal mantle material that ascends toward the surface, where it may lead to igneous activity. These plumes of solid yet mobile material may originate as deep as the core–mantle boundary.

  • Melt

    The liquid portion of magma, excluding the solid crystals.

  • Meteoroid

    Small solid particles that have orbits in the solar system.

  • Oceanic plateau

    An extensive region on the ocean floor composed of thick accumulations of pillow basalts and other mafic rocks that in some cases exceed 30 kilometers in thickness.

  • Oceanic zone

    The marine-life zone beyond the continental shelf.

  • Partial melting

    The process by which most igneous rocks melt. Since individual minerals have different melting points, most igneous rocks melt over a temperature range of a few hundred degrees. If the liquid is squeezed out after some melting has occurred, a melt with a higher silica content results.

  • Photosynthesis

    The process by which plants and algae produce carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of chlorophyll, using light energy and releasing oxygen.

  • Slip face

    The steep, leeward slope of a sand dune; it maintains an angle of about 34 degrees.
