2.4 Horizontal Energy Redistribution (Wind and Water)

        Help!  

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  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
