  1. Earth Science Measurement Notes

  2. SI Units • Metric system • Numbers based on a unit of 10

  3. Base Units • Length • SI unit  meter (m) • Measuring Distance • Weight and Mass • Weight is gravitational force and can change (Earth and Moon) • Mass is amount of matter in an object • SI Unit of mass  kilogram (kg)

  4. Units • Area • Amount of surface • Combination of lengths (length and width) • SI Unit is meter squared (m2) • Volume • Amount of space an object takes up • Solid (length x width x height) • SI Unit  meters cubed (m3) • Liquid  measured in Liters (L)

  5. Units • Density • Amount of matter that occupies a given space • Mass/Volume (g/ml) or (g/cm3)
