Question
Answer
a convection current   wind  
🗑
an example of a weather system on a small scale   sea breeze  
🗑
radiation from the sun   UV light  
🗑
which fluid rises   hot fluids  
🗑
rising air forms a blank pressure air mass   low  
🗑
low air pressure air mass will eventually move,in a stream, outward across the ocean- such movements of air, high up are called   jet streams  
🗑
cooling air contracts and   descends  
🗑
which fluid sinks   cold fluid  
🗑
cooling, sinking air mass is called   high pressure air mass  
🗑
higher density equals   greater pressure  
🗑
air from the cold sea breeze will push the warm air mass upward   sea breeze  
🗑
describes how much salt is in a body of water   salinity  
🗑
two processes which lead to high salinity   evaporation and freezing  
🗑
process of evaporation allows pure water to escape leaving behind the salt   crystallization  
🗑
two regions of highest salinity in the ocean   at the poles and the equator  
🗑
coastal waters are warm, nutrient-poor and blank salinity   low in salinity  
🗑
winds sweep away surface waters, cold dense water from below, moves in to replace it   upwelling  
🗑
opposite of convection   upwelling  
🗑
a connection of two liquid filled pistons   hydraulic system  
🗑
