Science 10: Final Unit Test Review Name: ___________________ October, 2009 Terminology weather climate latitude longitude meridians parallels wind localized winds prevailing winds Coriolis effect gusts squalls anemometer surface current deep current atmosphere exosphere thermosphere ionosphere stratosphere troposphere tropopause mesosphere fertilizer pesticide bioamplification clear cutting selective cutting deforestation fog cloud cumulus stratus cirrus nimbus alto evaporation condensation transpiration precipitation runoff sublimation acid precipitation *You should be able to define the above terms and use them in the appropriate context. When possible, give examples for each and include them in diagrams. Short Answer 1) Explain, using a diagram, why it is winter in the North Hemisphere when it is summer in the South Hemisphere, and vice versa. 2) The North Pole and the South Pole each have long periods of complete sunlight and complete darkness. Why? 3) Explain the effects of revolution and rotation on the earth and its weather systems. 4) As altitude increases, what happens to the air? 5) Explain how winds are created (i.e., convection style). 6) What is the Coriolis effect? 7) Use the following diagram of the globe to label where the following prevailing winds are found: polar easterlies, mid-latitude westerlies, northeast trade winds, southeast trade winds. 8) What are the layers of the atmosphere in order, starting with the layer closest to the earth? 9) Why are cellular respiration and photosynthesis considered to be complementary processes in the carbon cycle? 10) Name a place where carbon is cycled more slowly and explain why. Where can carbon be cycled faster and why? 11) What is the difference between first generation, second generation, and third generation pesticides? 12) Using a diagram, explain how bioamplification occurs. 13) Explain how pests become resistant to pesticides. 14) How does deforestation affect the environment? 15) Explain why logging companies prefer to clear cut and why environmentalists oppose this method. 16) Explain the three different ways clouds are formed. 17) Name and describe three different clouds. 18) Draw a diagram of the water cycle, including the following terms: condensation, evaporation, precipitation, transpiration, radiant energy, surface runoff. 19) Define acid rain and list its effects on humans and ecosystems.
