| Question | Answer |
| How is energy redistributed? | atomsphere does 75% of it (60% by sensible heat, 15% by latent heat) the oceans currents do the other 25% |
| Unequal heating creates.... | Pressure gradient Force (PGF), which drives wind |
| Global Mean Sea Level Pressure is.... | 1313hPa |
| A Hadly cell is.... | a convective circulation cell on a non-rotating planet |
| Coriolis Force increase... | with latitude |
| Hadley cells remain on Earth at.... | 0 - 35 degrees latitude |
| Easterly Trades meet at..... | Intertropical Convergance Zone (ITCZ) |
| Rossby Waves are found in..... | Midlatitudes |
| High PGF at the polar front means.... | strong jets |
| Jets at polar front ain't stable because..... | Rossby waves create ridges (highs) and troughs (lows) |
| Compared to sea, land.... | has a smaller heat capacity, has an opaque surface i.e. land surface temps vary alot more |
