Download Absolute Zero - cms16-17

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.
