3. In the winter at the beach, warm air over the land rises faster than cold air over the water. This creates a difference in air pressure creating wind. What is this an example of? • Convection 4. In winter, vegetables are grown in greenhouses. How do these veggies receive energy? Through radiation 5. Coastal areas stay cool during the summer when inland temperatures soar. These areas stay moderately warm in winter, even when inland temperatures drop. Why does this happen? It takes a longer for water to change temperature than land 6. What causes the Coriolis effect? Rotation of the Earth 7. What forms most ocean waves? • wind 8. Which factor(s) controls surface currents? Continental Deflection Global Winds The Coriolis Effect 9. Which factor(s) affect the movement of deep currents? Salinity & Temperature 10. When ocean water freezes, the dissolved solids in it are squeezed out of the ice and enter the water below the ice, causing the Salinity of the water to increase 12. Name the changes that are associated with El Nino. -The location of warm and cool surface waters in the Pacific Ocean changes -The interaction between the ocean and the atmosphere changes -Global weather patterns change 13. Describe a maritime climate. Warm, wet (humid) air. 14. The amount of humidity that air can hold increases as…. Air temperature increases 15. Describe some characteristics of a hurricane. • Low Pressure systems, spin counterclockwise • Begins as a group of thunderstorms moving over tropical waters • Have a center called an eye • Die in colder water or over land because they begin to lose their source of energy 16. When a cold air mass meets and displaces a warm air mass, what happens? A Cold front 17. This instrument is used to measure air pressure. Barometer 18. Which pressure system is associated with clear, sunny weather ? High pressure systems 19. How do low pressure systems form? • Warm air rises 20. A warm humid air mass from the Gulf of Mexico moved through on Wednesday. Forecasters predict that a cold front from the North will move through on Thursday. What type of weather should we expect? Thunderstorms followed by cool weather 21. The condition of the atmosphere at a particular time and place is called weather 22a. Name this symbol. 22b. What type of weather would you expect? 1. Cold front 2. Cold, dry air 24. Which part of the water cycle occurs faster due to warmer temperatures? Evaporation 25a. Name the symbol 25b. What type of weather would you expect? a. Warm front b. Warm, moist air 26. What is conduction? Conduction is an energy transfer that occurs when heated molecules come into contact with and actually touch cooler molecules. Ex: A chunk of steel in a furnace is a great example. The metal is directly touching the heat source and gets extremely hot. 27 a. Describe the weather at each location for this time and the next day. 27 b. Explain why it has that weather. a b a b a. Warm, moist air (clouds) and a chance of precipitation b. Clear, sunny Typical weather as seen for decades is………… • Climate Land or Sea Breeze •Sea 1. Define Absolute Zero •Is equal to 0 Kelvin •Is the lowest temperature possible •Has no kinetic energy 2. How is the temperature of a substance determined? By how fast the atoms or molecules of the substance are moving.
