How Angle Of Isolation Affects The Universe

A Block A. Astronomy/ Space 1. Big Bang Theory: a. The Big Bang Theory is the theory that the entire universe was once confined to a dense, hot, super massive ball then 12-17 billion years ago huge expansions occurred and material in the ball began moving out in all directions. Then, instant cooling ensued due to the expansion and thus the universe was born.
b. Individuals Roles in the BBT: Edwin Hubble – Created the most powerful telescope of the time. Albert Einstein – Created E=mc2, but didn’t believe it was true, and hypothesized the speed of light. Le Maitre – Was a Catholic Priest with a science degree from M.I.T who provided faith in scientific theory and thought E=mc2 was true.

Angle of isolation: The angle of Isolation is an angle used to measures the relationship between the intensity of light and the angle at which it hits the surface of Earth.

a. How angle of isolation affects the seasons: The angle of isolation affects the seasons through this process; when the northern hemisphere is having winter, the southern hemisphere is getting the most direct sunlight because the angle of isolation is greater due to the Earth's axis tilt. On the other hand, in the summer the northern hemisphere is getting a bigger angle of isolation due to the tilt.
C. Plate Tectonics 1. Earth’s Interior – layers, how behavior of each layer differs:
The Earth has five major layers.
* Inner Core: Solid most inner part of the earth. Composed of iron and nickel * Outer Core: Thick layer of magma with properties of liquid. * Mantle: Located beneath the crust. * Asthenosphere: Weak layer below the lithosphere with rock that acts as plastic and is easily deformed. * Lithosphere: Includes crust (oceanic and continental) and the upper
