| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| two variables that are important in determining climate are | temp and rainfall |
| a global variable that has a strong effect on climate | latitude |
| areas that share certain climates are grouped into the same what | climate zone |
| areas along the equator are what type of zone | tropical zone |
| these climates have little precipitation and large daily temp. fluctuations. | arid climate |
| climate zones locates in the interior of a land mass | continental climate zones |
| a way to categorize an areas climate is to describe the _ that grow there. | plants |
| radiates heat from the earth surface is _ by a layer of green house gases. | absorb |
| buring these increases the amount of greenhouse gases and is a factor that may contribute to_ | fossil fules, global warming |
| the tempt if an inland city is usually _ in the summer and _ in the winter. | warmer, cooler |
| at a giving latatude the higer the altitude the __ the climate | cooler |
| the climate on the _ side of the mountain than this side. | windward. leeward |
| a cold current along the coats of Peru causes air pressure to be __ in the Eastern Pacific | higher |
| El Nino bring this to the coats of Noth and South America | heavy rains and storms |
| La Nina bring this t these coastal areas | Drier weather |
| the constant movement of water as a liquid and a gas between the earths surface | water cycle |
| energy for the water cycle comes form the | sun |
| solar energy causes water onto the earths surface to change from a gas and rise into the atmosphere during this process | evaporation |
| gaseous water rises and cools and turns into droplets of water during this process | condensation |
| water that falls back to the earth as rain or snow is | precipitation |
| water that soaks into the ground and collects in soils and rock | ground water |
| when plants take water from the soil and return it to the air | transpiration |
| constant exchange of carbon on the earth | carbon cycle |
| plants take this in during photosynthesis to make food | carbon dioxide |
| animals and plants burn carbon rich foods during this process, then release carbon dioxide | respiration |
| exchange of oxygen and carbon during respiration is | oxygen-carbon Dixide cycle |
| although most of eatrths atmosphere is nitrogen, the gas must be what, so that it is in a form living things can use. | fixed |
| nitrogen can be fixed by volcanic action or | lightning and,nitrogen fixing bacteria |
| plants sue nitrogen to make this | proteins |
| nitrogen returns to the soils in the blank of animals, and when plants and animals decay | waste |
| People can reduce their use of natural resources by | recycling |
