|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| What is weather? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Climate is long term conditions and patterns of air, temperature, and precipitation for a long period of time.
🗑
|
||||
| What is the difference between weather and climate? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | If the climate is very hot than we might experience a drought that can affect what we eat because if there is no water than we can't grow crops because you need to water to grow crops.
🗑
|
||||
| How can climate influence what we wear? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | In hotter climates, certain building materials can expand from the heat, so buildings need to be made to accommodate these extreme temperatures.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Climate change is a change in weather patterns that is caused by human actions or nature's events.-Conditions will be different depending on location-.
🗑
|
||||
| Define global warming. | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | If the climate keeps rising than humans may experience more heat waves and drought, which can result in less crops.
🗑
|
||||
| show | If glaciers melt because of the warmer temperatures than that will make less fresh water available and ocean levels to rise which can cause floods to coastal cities.
🗑
|
||||
| Explain how a rise in average global temperature can affect the natural environment. | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Temperature became warmer in Africa and Canada,Africa would be more affected.If there was a drought because of climate change Africa would suffer more because Canada has a large amount of freshwater, and Africa does not have as much.
🗑
|
||||
| show | If a disease occurred because of climate change Canada would be able to treat it better than Africa because Canada has better medical care and more money that can be put to a cure for the disease.
🗑
|
||||
| Explain how climate change has affected the lives of people living in Australia. | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The coal releases a large amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere so it has made the climate more warm and made it so that there is less moisture and precipitation.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Put taxes on the 500 biggest polluters in Australia so they pay for how much carbon dioxide they release into the air.
Solar city program so that houses and businesses use energy more wisely.
🗑
|
||||
| What are the three main ways we describe weather? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Earth's surface, The atmosphere, All the water on Earth, All the ice on Earth and All the life on Earth
🗑
|
||||
| show | The sun's energy interact with these parts to create climates around the world.
🗑
|
||||
| What are the two main pieces of data on a climate graph? | show 🗑
|
||||
| How do you calculate average annual temperature? | show 🗑
|
||||
| How do you determine the temperature range? | show 🗑
|
||||
| How do you determine the total annual precipitation? | show 🗑
|
||||
| How do you determine the precipitation pattern? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Tropical (hot and with rain all year).Savannah (hot with a dry season).Steppe (warm and dry).Desert (hot and very dry).Mild (hot and wet).
🗑
|
||||
| show | Continental (dry with cold winter).Subarctic (very cold winter).Polar (cold and dry).Mountainous (altitude affects climate).
🗑
|
||||
| show | Latitude,Ocean currents,Winds,Elevation,Relief and Nearness to Bodies of Water. LOW are global ERN are local.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Prevailing Winds: The usual or common winds for a particular place.
🗑
|
||||
| Define trade winds. | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The northern hemisphere has way more land than the Southern hemisphere. Land heats up more quickly than water, so the wind that is blowing over the land can be warmer or colder (to extremes) in the Northern Hemisphere than the Southern hemisphere.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Air Mass: A large volume of air with similar conditions of temperature and moisture throughout.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Middle of North America is dry because the air masses are moving over land instead of water,they don’t pick up as much moisture.Air masses that have a large body of water near them tend to be moist because the air masses pick up water that is evaporating.
🗑
|
||||
| Explain how elevation affects the climate. | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | It can force air up over higher pieces of land.This causes relief precipitation on the windward slope.At higher points along the mountain,the air drops the precipitation,and can cause water to form on the peaks of mountains in the form of snow.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The land heats up more quickly and cools down more quickly.Provides moisture for nearby land.Water evaporates from water bodies into the air.Places near large bodies of water experience more precipitation.
🗑
|
||||
| show | When volcanoes erupt huge amount of dust and ash is released into the air which can stay there for months and even years than reflect the Sun's solar energy back into space which reduces the amount of heat entering Earth's climate system
🗑
|
||||
| show | Sometimes the sun has active periods which it gives off more energy than usual and there are proof of these events because in a cycle of 11 years the active period corresponds with warming trends.
🗑
|
||||
| How can the tilt of the Earth affect climate? | show 🗑
|
||||
| What are three gases that cause the greenhouse effect? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Energy production,Transportation, Home businesses,Industry, Agriculture and Waste.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Mitigation is when you try to solve the effects of climate change. Adaptation is when you leave the problem and try to live with it.
🗑
