1. Radiation: travels by waves, conduction: by touch,
convection: by flowing through material
2. Troposphere
3. Winds will blow from heat, humidity, causes/helps with
water cycles—water goes to the clouds, comes down as
precipitation, evaporates….
4. Convection
5. Wind blows from areas of high pressure to areas of low
pressure
6. earth’s rotation causes global winds to curve and it is
called the Coriolis effect
7. Polar Easterlies, Prevailing Westerlies, Trade Winds,
Doldrums(Equator area), Prevailing Westerlies,
8. Land Breeze, at night- land cools at night and pushes a
breeze out to sea because the land cools faster. Sea
breeze: convection currents blow breeze from the cooler
sea towards warmer land during the day.
9. How much water vapor is in the air. Higher the temp, the
more water vapor the air can hold. Cold air cannot hold as
much water vapor
10. Dew point is the temperature in which the air is saturated
11. Low pressure has warm air
High Pressure has cool air
12. Warm moist air is forced upward and cooled, then the
water vapor condenses and the tiny particles collect to form a
cloud. Convection

14. nimbus- dark, rainy, alto- middle, cirro- high, strato-low
15. rain,sleet, snow and hail

tropical—the map on the sheet labeled Weather Patterns
