| Flap 1 | Flap 2 |
| El Nino | Upwelling stops. East gets higher |
| La Nina | Upwelling stronger, west gets higher |
| Percent of water in ocean | 97.5 |
| Coriolis effect | to the right in the north, left in the south |
| Gyre | Large, circular ocean current |
| Thermohaline Circulation | Water Transports to poles, cools and sinks; Water flows deep at the bottom of the ocean; Prevailing winds off the coast blow surface waters away, and deep water rises up-upwelling. |
| Winds away from equator | Northeasterly Trade winds, Prevailing westerlies, Polar easterlies, directions shift in southern hemisphere |
| Circulation cells away from equator | Hadley, Ferrel, Polar |
| ITCZ | InterTropical Convergence Zone |
| Layers of the Atmosphere | Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere |
| Layers of the Earth | Crust, Mantel, Core |
| Mechanical Layers of the Earth | Lithosphere, Asthenosphere, Mesosphere, Outer Core, Inner Core |
| P-Wave | Compression Motion like slinky |
| S-Wave | Up/Down Motion |
| Rayleigh Wave | Back and forth and up and down |
| Love Wave | Back and forth and left and right |
| Lake Levels | Epilimnion, Thermocline, Hypolimnion |
| Oligotrophic | Not much nutrients, not productive |
| Mesotrophic | medium nutrients/productivity |
| Eutrophic | High Nutrients/Productivity |
| Relative Humidity | Ratio of the air's actual water content to its potential water vapor content at a given temperature, expressed as percent |
| R-Selected | High population growth rate, poor competitors |
| K-Selected | low growth rate, good competitors |
| Tribal Ara | Nomadic hunter gatherer, little impact on environment |
| Frontier area | Conquer the land |
| Early Conservation Era | Save stuff for later use |
| Environmental Era | intrinsic values of nature, our place in the environment |
| Simpsons index | probability that two random samples will be of the same species |
| simpsons index of diversity | probability that 2 organisms will be different |
| Simpson's reciprocal index | the number of catagories with the same index |
| NEPA | National Environmental Policy Act-Governmental agencies must take environment into consideration |
| CERCLA | Superfund-clean up toxic waste |
