Mr.CoolEricson Final
The science final... so sad :(
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Three main climate zones | Polar, Temperate, Tropical |
| Three conditions of atmosphere | Temperate, Precipitation, Wind |
| Conditions of Atmosphere must be discussed describing climate | Precipitation and Temperature |
| What are the other diffs with climate and weather | Long term, Short term. |
| How does the curvature of Earth influence climate | Uneven heating |
| Three main climate zones and how they relate to latitudinal banding | Tropical, Temperate, and Polar... Uneven heating |
| How local conditions can influence climate (Mountains) | bodies of water, elevation, terrain |
| How local conditions can influence climate (Deserts) | Has to rise over mountains |
| How are air temps, pressure, and wind related (warm air) | less dense/low pressure |
| How are air temps, pressure, and wind related (cold air) | more dense/high pressure |
| How are air temps, pressure, and wind related (wind) | the movement of air from high to low pressure |
| What is the Coriolis Effect | Deflection of wind due to spinning of Earth |
| How does the Cold California current effect the climate | Wind blowing over makes nearby land colder |
