About atmosphere and climate system notes
GoConqr OriginalWhat the Atmosphere and Climate System notes cover
These notes offer different routes through the unit. One resource looks at air and air pollution, while others cover ozone depletion, smog and acid deposition. There are also notes on climate change in Australia, water vapor and the atmosphere, and land use and albedo.
How to study with notes
Start with the notes on air if you want an introduction to atmospheric composition and pollution. For a narrower topic, the ozone depletion notes describe conditions over polar regions. The note Climate Change offers another starting point for studying that topic.
As you read, write down the terms and connections you want to remember. Then explain them in your own words and return to the notes to check what you missed. If you want a visual overview, switch to a mind map on the unit page; if you want to check your recall, try a quiz there.
Choose a note that fits your course and start exploring.
Frequently asked questions
Which notes are a useful place to start?
The notes on air are a starting point if you want to study atmospheric composition and air pollution together. For a more focused topic, the notes on smog describe its types, while the ozone depletion notes discuss conditions over polar regions.
Are these notes free to use?
Yes. Every note listed here is free to open and study without an account. A free account can also save quiz scores and let you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes. The listed resources were made by GoConqr users.
Who are these notes for?
The collection includes resources for school and university study, as well as material that professional candidates may find useful. Teachers can also use the notes when looking for lesson material. The subjects range from atmospheric composition and pollution to climate change and water vapor.
