Total solar eclipseTotal Solar Eclipse 2024 Lesson 1: Why is the interior of the Earth hot? The interior of Earth is very hot (the temperature of the core reaches more than 5,000 degrees Celsius) for two main reasons: . The heat from when the planet formed, . The heat from the decay of radioactive elements. The Earth was formed by the process of accretion. After the creation of our solar system, meteorites gravitationally attracted each other and formed bigger objects, which attracted bigger masses, until our planets reach their current size. This process accumulated a lot of heat; when two objects collide, heat is generated. That is why your hands will get hot when you clap them for too long, or a nail gets very hot when you hammer it for a long time. This heat has not dissipated totally and represents about 10% of the total heat inside the Earth. The main source of heat is the decay of radioactive elements. Radioactive decay is a natural process; unstable elements like 238U (Uranium) or 40K (Potassium) stabilize with time and produce what we call daughter products: 206P (Lead) for Uranium and 40Ar (Argon) for Potassium. This process produces heat, which represents about 90% of the total heat inside the Earth. Lesson 2: How Magma Forms Magma is a molten and semi-molten rock mixture found under the surface of the Earth. This mixture is usually made up the of four parts: hot liquid base, called a melt; minerals crystallized by the melt; solid rocks incorporated into the melt from the surrounding confines; and dissolved gases. When magma is ejected by a volcano or other vent, the material is called lava. Magma that has cooled into a solid is Based on the provided sources, here is a comprehensive extraction of the information regarding the water cycle, energy transfer, and Earth's wind systems, organized into key points: The Water Cycle and Its Reservoirs • Definition: The water cycle is the continuous movement of water among various reservoirs on Earth. • Water Reservoirs: These are storage locations for water and include: ◦ Oceans, seas, and lakes. ◦ Rivers, glaciers, soil, and rocks. ◦ The atmosphere and living organisms. • Total Volume: The total amount of water on Earth does not change, even when it changes state, because it is constantly being replaced or recycled through the cycle. Main Processes and Energy Transfer The movement of water through the cycle is driven by energy (thermal energy from the Sun) and force (gravity and wind). • Energy Gain (Absorption): ◦ Melting: Water changes from a solid state (ice) to a liquid state and gains energy. ◦ Evaporation: Liquid water changes into a gas state (water vapor) by gaining thermal energy. ◦ Transpiration: A specialized type of evaporation occurring in plants where water vapor is released through tiny holes in leaves called stomata. Approximately 10% of water vapor in the air comes from transpiration. • Energy Loss (Release): ◦ Condensation: Water vapor (gas) cools down and changes back into liquid water, releasing energy. ◦ Freezing: Liquid water changes into a solid state (ice) and loses energy. • Other Key Steps: ◦ Precipitation: Water falls back to Earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail (snow pellets). ◦ Runoff: Water flows over Earth's surface into streams, rivers, and eventually larger bodies of water like oceans. ◦ Collection: Rainwater is collected in different water bodies to start the cycle again. Forces Driving Water Movement • Gravity: The main force that pulls water downward. It is responsible for: ◦ Bringing precipitation (rain and snow) from clouds to the surface. ◦ Moving ice in glaciers from higher to lower elevations. ◦ Causing liquid water to flow downhill into rivers and seas. ◦ Leakage: Pulling liquid water down into the ground to reach groundwater reservoirs. • Wind: Another force that affects water movement and transports water to different locations on Earth. Atmospheric Processes • Cloud Formation: Water vapor attaches to particles such as dust or smoke in the air and condenses into tiny droplets. When millions of these droplets join, they become heavy and fall as rain. • Convection: The transfer of heat in liquids and gases. ◦ Warm air/liquid: Becomes less dense, lighter, and rises upward. ◦ Cold air/liquid: Is more dense, heavier, and moves downward to replace the warm fluid. ◦ This process leads to convection currents, which help determine regional climates and drive wind and ocean currents. Solar Radiation and Climate The amount of solar energy reaching Earth differs from place to place, which affects the weather: • Hottest Regions (Equator): Sun rays fall perpendicular (vertical). Heat is concentrated on a small area, making the weather hot. • Moderate Regions: Sun rays fall semi-inclined. Heat is distributed over a larger area, making the weather warm. • Coolest Regions (Poles): Sun rays fall very slanted (inclined). Heat is spread over a very large area, making the weather very cold. Earth's Wind System • Wind Formation: Wind is generated when warm air (heated by the Sun) rises and is replaced by cooler air flowing from nearby areas. • Factors Affecting Wind: The amount of solar radiation and the rotation of Earth determine global wind directions. • Global Wind Cycle: Unequal heating between the equator and the poles generates a constant wind system. Warm air rises at the equator and moves toward the poles, while cold air from the poles moves toward the equator. • Importance: If there were no wind, the equator would become extremely hot, the poles would freeze solid, and many ecosystems would disappear. Practical Examples • Turkey’s Salt Lake: High evaporation in the summer can turn this large lake into a small puddle or dry it up completely. It is a critical site for flamingos, which migrate there to breed and feed on algae in the shallow, warm water.Science Exam Parts of the Atom: The atom consists of a nucleus at its center, containing protons (positively charged) and neutrons (neutral), while electrons (negatively charged) orbit in electron shells around the nucleus. Atomic Number: The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in its nucleus. It defines the element and determines its place on the periodic table. Properties of Metals: Metals have properties like conductivity, malleability (can be flattened into sheets), and ductility (can be drawn into wires). Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures: Elements consist of only one type of atom. Compounds are made of two or more different elements chemically bonded. Mixtures are combinations of substances that are physically mixed but not chemically bonded. Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Mixtures: Homogeneous mixtures have a uniform composition (e.g., saltwater), while heterogeneous mixtures have different phases (e.g., oil and water). Changes of State: Changes like melting, evaporation, and condensation are examples of physical changes of state. Chemical and Physical Properties: Chemical properties describe how a substance can change to form a new substance, while physical properties are characteristics like color, texture, and state (solid, liquid, gas). Physical and Chemical Change: A physical change involves the appearance or state of matter, but the substance remains the same. A chemical change involves the formation of new substances. Chemical Equations: Chemical reactions can be represented with chemical equations that show reactants (what you start with) and products (what is formed). Chemical Formulas: Chemical formulas represent the composition of compounds. For example, NaHCO3 is sodium bicarbonate, consisting of one sodium (Na), one hydrogen (H), one carbon (C), and three oxygen (O) atoms. Energy: Types of Energy: Energy can be kinetic (related to motion), potential (stored energy), thermal (heat energy), electrical, chemical, and more. Units of Energy: Common units of energy include joules (J) and calories (cal). Law of Conservation of Energy: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed from one form to another. Energy Transfer and Transformation: Energy moves from one object to another, changing forms along the way. Useful and Waste Energy: Useful energy is what can be harnessed and used for a specific purpose. Waste energy is energy that is not used and is often lost. Energy Flow Diagrams: These diagrams show how energy is transferred or transformed within a system. Energy Efficiency: Efficiency is a measure of how much useful energy is obtained from a system. It can be calculated using the equation: Efficiency = (Useful Energy Output / Total Energy Input) x 100%. Fossil Fuels and Renewable Energy: Fossil fuels, like coal, oil, and natural gas, are non-renewable sources of energy. Renewable energy sources include solar, wind, and hydroelectric power. Variables: Independent Variable: The variable that is manipulated or changed in an experiment. Dependent Variable: The variable that is measured or observed and is affected by changes in the independent variable. Controlled Variables: Factors that are kept constant to ensure a fair and accurate experiment.Key Word Definition

La scelta deve essere riferita ad aspetti contingentati come: la cultura tecnologica locale, gli obbiettivi economici, capacità di organizzazione nel lavoro del cantiere, sistemi di approvvigionamento dei materiali. Fasi del processo costruttivo: Programmazione (rilevamento esigenze, scelta dell’obbiettivo, studio o progetto di fattibilità , definizione dell’intervento edilizio) Progettazione (formato da metaprogetto, progetto preliminare, progetto definitivo, progetto esecutivo) Realizzazione (affidamento dell’appalto, stipula del contratto, nomina del direttore dei lavori, gestione e controllo delle fasi esecutive, collaudo dell’opera) Gestione e dismissione ( esercizio impianti tecnici, manutenzione, recupero, demolizione) Gli attori di questo processo sono degli Enti ( Pianificatori, normatori, di Attuazione) In passato il processo costruttivo si basava sul sistema costruttivo tradizionale (cioè nella realizzazione delle murature portanti) Da trent’anni a questa parte è cambiato: tecnologie più evolute, razionalizzazione del cantiere. Anche l’introduzione del cls armato ha cambiato radicalmente: necessità di separare in modo più netto le attività destinate alla realizzazione di fondazioni, strutture portanti e opere di completamento. Così anche dal maggiore sviluppo delle macchine da cantiere, di molteplici attrezzature, di materiali innovativi. Tipologie di sistemi costruttivi: Tradizionale : realizzazione di ogni elemento direttamente in cantiere (basso contenuto tecnologico, alto contenuto di lavoro) Razionalizzato o ibrido : vantaggio di efficenza costruttiva e quindi economico , ha strutture portanti di calcestruzzo armato ma permette l’uso anche di elementi caratteristici di altri sistemi costruttivi ) Industrializzato o a pie d’opera : elementi strutturali realizzati direttamente in cantiere utilizzando diverse tipologie di casserature; processo produttivo basato su 24h in cui viene fatto tutto ( dalla posata delle casserature al compattamento del getto) Queste casserature possono essere di diverso tipo: Tunnel, usato per gli interventi di grandi dimensioni (crea una canna pari a un piano dell’edificio) , Banches et Tables , ampiamente utilizzata il vantaggio è la velocità , Sistema Grigliato tipo Peri Gridflex crea un piano di sicurezza per gli operatori permette di creare dei solai con 33 cm di spessore, Sistema Alumecano stessa funzione del precedente Prefabbricazione : processo che prevede la scomposizione dell’edificio nelle sue parti, preparazione elementi in un luogo diverso dal cantiere. La prefabbricazione può essere fuori d’opera, a piè d’opera, a pie di fabbrica. Fasi: produzione viene fatta con stampi metallici , vengono inserite in officina direttamente gli infissi e la tubazioni, gli elementi finiti vengono trasportati in cantiere e assemblati. Gli elementi possono essere classificati in base a tre criteri: geometrico (monodimensionale, bidimensionale, tridimensionale), del peso (leggera: ciò che non è strutturale ne portante, pesante: elementi bidimensionali e tridimensionali,strutturali e portanti), del sistema prefabbricato (chiuso: prevede che si usino solo elementi del sistema prefabbricato, meno flessibile e meno economico , aperto: elementi del sistema integrati con altri sistemi costruttivi) Prefabbricazione metallica: preparazione in officina del elementi, il montaggio avviene tramite bullonature e saldature elettriche, può essere totale o parziale\mista Sistemi costruttivi lignei di tipo prefabbricato: numerosi vantaggi. Ballon Frame: montanti che hanno l’altezza di due piani collocati ad un interasse di 45 cm, connessione mediante chiodatura, basta un solo uomo per montare tutto. Paltform frame: evoluzione del Ballon, montanti ogni 3m max, ogni piano funge da piattaforma per i piani superiori, fondazioni a platea. Blockbau: soprattuto edifici di uno o due piani, forma primordiale delle costruzioni. Setti portanti e sopra delle travi (panconati), incastro maschio-femmina, connessione al terreno mediante un solaio areato, all’involucro invece viene aggiunto uno strato di isolante. Sistema a travi e pilastri: sistema tradizionale riletto in chiave moderna. Montanti lignei verticali ed elementi orizzontali posti a breve distanza di “interasse”, nelle intercapedini c’è l’isolamento Sistemi a panelli intelaiati : dotato di un telaio leggero fatto di segati e dei pannelli formati da più strati incollati tra loro (completo di aperture) X-Lam : pannello monolitico formato da un compensato strutturale di legno massiccio formato da lamelle poste a strati incrociati, arrivano in cantiere pretagliati (basamento a platea, per impedire che il sisma ribalti o faccia scorrere la parete ) Differenza calcestruzzo armato gettato in opera e calcestruzzo precompresso: il primo copre una luce di 5,5\ 6m , il secondo se ha solo la trave precompressa 7,2 m e 10 se ha sia la trave che il solaio.
