Climate and Global W
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The sun's rays directly strike the equator and cause the regions near the equator to be warmer. | Latitude |
| Within the troposphere as altitude increases, the temperature decreases. | Elevation |
| Certain land formations (mountains and valleys) can affect the movement of air masses. | Topography (shape of the land) |
| Land and sea breezes are local convection currents that occur near water because of the unequal heating of Earth material. | Distance from water |
| Provides a predictable pattern for the movement of air in a specific region and are named after the direction they come from. | Global Winds |
| These currents circulate heat energy. | Ocean currents |
| Wind is the ______ of air from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure. | horizontal movement |
| ____ are found in each convection region. | Global winds |
| Earth is spinning on its axis, these global winds appear to curve. | Coriolis Effect |
| Convection can cause ______ | Global winds |
| Blows from east to west in the temperate region. | Westerly winds |
| Due to the spinning of the Earth, the weather systems in these regions move in certain directions because of the way these are set up? | Global wind belts |
| What are the temperate zone temperatures affected by? | seasons |
| Move from east to west in the Artic and Antarctic circles. | Polar Easterlies |
| Move from west to east across the tropic of .... | Westerlies |
| Moves from east to west around the equator | Trade Winds |
| Continuous process in which water moves through the living and nonliving parts of the environment. | Water Cycle |
| What does water from bodies of water, land, and living things move on? | Earth's surface to the atmosphere and earth's surface |
| What happens after condensation occurs? | water droplet falls |
| Examples of precipitation depending on the weather | rain, snow, freezing rain, sleet, or hail |
| As more _____ the water droplets in a cloud grow larger and larger. | water vapor condenses |
| most common type of precipitation | rain and drizzle |
| raindrops freeze when they hot the ground | freezing rain |
| raindrops that freeze before they hit the ground | sleet |
| as ice grows and merges in the clouds they form snowflakes | snow |
| the largest type of precipitation, lumps or balls of ice that fall | hail |
| A water molecule at the surface of the ocean that will be heated by the sun. | floating |
| What happens when the water molecule absorbs heat from the sun? | changes state |
