Although you may not see it, gravity is a force of erosion. Gravity not only influences the movement of water, but it also causes rocks and soil to move downward. This downward movement caused by gravity called mass movement plays a major role in shaping the Earth.
Sand, rocks, and soil will move downhill until the slope becomes stable. The angle of repose is the steepest angle at which loose material will not slide downward. The angle of repose may change based on the size, weight, shape, and moisture level of the objects which may cause rock falls or landslides.
The most destructive mass movement happens suddenly and rapidly.
A rockfall happens when loose rock fall down a steep slope. This steep slope may be manmade when creating a rode or created by nature.
Rocks that range in size from small fragments to large boulders fall down the slope due to gravity.
A landslide is the sudden and rapid movement of a large amount of material downward. A slump is the most common landslide and happens when a block of material moves downward over a curved surface.
A rapid movement of a large mass of mud is a mudflow. When heavy rain mixes with soil and rock a slippery mass of mud may be created that can flow rapidly downhill.
Mudflows as a result of a volcano are called Lahars. Volcanic eruptions or heavy rains on volcanic ash can cause a Lahar that may travel up to 80km an hour.
Sometimes the mass movement is very slow. This is called creep. Water loosens the soil on a steep slope, Plant Roots and animals loosen the soil which slowly moves downhill. Bent tree trunks may be evidence that creep is occurring.

Use these short cuts to help you learn the 8 phases of the moon
The 8 phases are,
New Moon
Waxing Crescent
1st Quarter
Waxing Gibbous
Full Moon
Waning Gibbous
Last Quarter
Waning Crescent
It takes the moon 29.5 days to go through these 8 phases.
I provide pictures to help you learn the moon phases

Global conveyor belt and thermohaline ocean currents. The ocean has waves and currents. I think of currents as rivers of water in water.
Because cold water is denser than warm water, the cold water sinks below warm water. Water with a higher salinity has a greater density than less salty water. As a result, currents can be created in the ocean.
The global conveyor belt is a series of ocean currents that snake around the world. They are called thermohaline currents because they are the result of changes in temperature and salinity.
The base of the world’s food chain depends on the
cool, nutrient-rich waters that support the growth of algae and seaweed.

The MAD is the average distance of all of the elements in a data set from the mean of the same data set
You can think of it as how far each piece of information is from the average
If you look at MAD you have the mean which is the average, the absolute value, and deviation.
The MAD indicates how spread out your data set is.
A large MAD indicates a data set more spread out relative to the mean.
A small MAD indicates a data set less spread out relative to the mean.
This video helps with the following Math Standard
MGSE9-12.S.ID.2 Use statistics appropriate to the shape of the data distribution to compare center
(median, mean) and spread (interquartile range, mean absolute deviation, standard deviation) of
two or more different data sets.

Alfred Wegener developed the theory of Continental Drift. It states that at one time the continents were at one time one large land mass that broke apart and the continents drifted away from one another. The continents move away at a rate of about 10 cm per year.

The Electromagnetic Spectrum is made up of EM waves that are composed of oscillating magnetic and electric fields. This is why they are called ‘electromagnetic’ waves.
The electromagnetic spectrum is ordered by a frequency which is the number of wavelengths that pass a fixed point per second. The electromagnetic spectrum contains radio waves, microwaves, light,x-rays, gamma rays, and more.

Learn how the habitat and niche are different but also very important for a healthy environment.
A habitat is an ecological area where a plant or animal lives. It may be an island, a tree, or maybe under a rock. The habitat is where an individual can find food, shelter, protection and mates.
A niche is a role or position that an individual has in its environment. A niche may also involve what the individual eats, how it interacts with other living things, and also how it interacts with the nonliving factors. Without ecological niches, there would be less biodiversity, and the ecosystem would not be in balance.

Grasslands are a large area of the earth that have lots of grass and very few trees. The grassland biome is found in South Africa, North America, Hungary, Argentina Uruguay, and Russia.
Temperate grasslands have hot summers and cold wintersTemperate grasslands can be further subdivided. Prairies are grasslands with tall grasses while steppes are grasslands with short grasses.
Steppes receive less rainfall than prairies and receive only 10 to 20 inches rainfall a year. dry areas of grassland with hot summers and cold winters.

In this video, I describe the 6 types of synovial joints found in the human body.
A synovial joint is a location where two bones meet that have cartilage at the ends, are attached by ligaments, and have a space filled with synovial fluid.
In this video, I cover 6 synovial joints.
