Breeze,Current,Fluid
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| a convection current | wind |
| an example of a weather system on a small scale | sea breeze |
| radiation from the sun | UV light |
| which fluid rises | hot fluids |
| rising air forms a blank pressure air mass | low |
| low air pressure air mass will eventually move,in a stream, outward across the ocean- such movements of air, high up are called | jet streams |
| cooling air contracts and | descends |
| which fluid sinks | cold fluid |
| cooling, sinking air mass is called | high pressure air mass |
| higher density equals | greater pressure |
| air from the cold sea breeze will push the warm air mass upward | sea breeze |
| describes how much salt is in a body of water | salinity |
| two processes which lead to high salinity | evaporation and freezing |
| process of evaporation allows pure water to escape leaving behind the salt | crystallization |
| two regions of highest salinity in the ocean | at the poles and the equator |
| coastal waters are warm, nutrient-poor and blank salinity | low in salinity |
| winds sweep away surface waters, cold dense water from below, moves in to replace it | upwelling |
| opposite of convection | upwelling |
| a connection of two liquid filled pistons | hydraulic system |
