Test your knowledge of sea level rise and its effect on global populations.
Students move through a series of short activities to explore and evaluate global solar radiation data from NASA satellites. In this process, students make qualitative and quantitative observations about seasonal variations in net energy input to the Earth System.
Students analyze map visualizations representing the amount of Sun’s energy received on the Earth as indicated by the amount that is reflected back to space, known as “albedo”.
Students interpret a double bar/column chart comparing the number of tropical cyclones in different locations.
This lesson walks students through the use of Landsat false-color imagery and identification of different land cover features using these as models.
