The movement of air caused by differences in the air pressure

The curving of the path of a moving object, from an otherwise straight path due to earth’s rotation

Coriolis effect produces patterns of calm areas and wind systems. These one systems occur at or near Earth surface.

Narrow belts of high-speed winds that blow from west to east

Movement of air over short distances

Ocean currents that occur at or near the surface of the ocean caused by wind

Movements of ocean water far below the surface

Movement of water the results from density differences.

Surface water is then replaced by cold nutrient rich water from the deep ocean.

The Earth system is all of the matter, energy and processes within earths boundaries

Geosphere is the mostly solid rocky part of earth

Part of earth that is liquid water

Made up of all of the frozen water on earth

Mostly made up of invisible gas that surrounds Earth.

Made up of living things and areas of Earth

Way to keep track of energy transferred into and out of the Earth system

The measure of the force with which air molecules push on an area of a surface

The upmost layer of the atmosphere

The muscle sphere is between the thermosphere and the stratosphere

The stratosphere is between the mesosphere and the troposphere

Troposphere is the lowest layer of the atmosphere

The greenhouse effect is the process by which gases in the atmosphere such as water vapor and carbon dioxide absorb and give up infrared radiation

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles

Thermal energy is a total kinetic energy of particles

The increase on volume that results from an increase of temperature is called a thermal expansion

He is the energy that has transferred between objects that are at different temperatures

Radiation is the transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves

Convection is a transfer of energy due to the movement of matter

Conduction is a transfer energy from one object to another through direct contact
