Weather & Climate 2
Weather & Climate Effects on Humans
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are some factors that influence local weather? | Distance from the equator, elevation, land masses, and large bodies of water |
| What are some of the ways you can protect your skin from the sun? | Wear sunscreen, wear protective clothing, stay in the shade, etc. |
| During severe weather like a hurricane or tornado, where should you seek protection? | Go to an interior room-try to avoid rooms with windows. |
| What is a comparative investigation? | An investigation that compares different things in order to make a conclusion. |
| How does convection work? | Hotter, less dense material rises and colder, more dense material sinks and transfers heat. This occurs in air and water, which influences weather. |
| What causes ocean currents to have the energy to continue heat transfer? | The sun |
| What is the difference between weather and climate? | Weather is a combination of things like temperature, humidity, precipitation, etc on a day to day basis and climate is the weather of a particular place averaged over a long period of time. (Occasionally, warm climates can still experience cold weather) |
| What radiates heat energy faster land or water? | land |
| When the sunshines on a greenhouse what type of heat energy transfer is occurring? | Radiation |
| Convection is one way that the Earth transfer heat from: | The equator to the poles |
| What is a mistake that can occur when telling temperature? | A mistake in reading the thermometer. |
| How is air heated that is near an ocean? | The air comes in direct contact with the water and heat is transferred through conduction. |
| Why is it important for scientists of different backgrounds to work together? | Different backgrounds contribute different knowledge that when put together can contribute something the other scientists may not know. |
| What are some sources of local weather? | Apps, newspaper, and local news report. |
| What is one way to determine if an experiment is accurate? | Repeat the experiment (Do multiple trials) |
| If there is a lack if moisture, then there is a lack of rain. If there is a lack of rain for an extended period of time in a climate that usually has rain, then this area may be experiencing a: | Drought |
