---|---|---|---|---|
What is the main sphere where weather exists
Troposphere
|
What is a cyclonic storm
It is a system of strong winds that due to a low pressure system winds up
|
What are the four different types of air masses
Cold front, warm front, occluded front, stationary front
|
What exactly is El Nino and La Nina
They are differences from the normal tropical temperatures in air masses
|
Name a major air pollutant that is produced by cars
Carbon monoxide
|
where do asteroids burn up in the atmosphere
Mesosphere
|
What are the three types of cyclonic storms
Hurricanes, Cyclones and typhoons
|
What is the difference between a warm front and a cold front
A warm front is where a warm air mass overtakes a cold air mass and can cause light drizzling of rain in the area of the warm air mass a cold air masses where a cold front overtakes a warm air mass and can cause thunderstorms and severe rains in an area
|
How are Trade Winds different in El Nino than they are in la nina
El Nino has weaker Trade Winds while La Nina has stronger Tradewinds
|
What can happen if exposed to radon for a long amount of time
Lung cancer
|
where is the most helium in the atmosphere
Exosphere
|
What is the difference between all three of the types of cyclonic storms
They all start on different oceans
|
What happens at a stationary front
Two air masses both cold and warm Clash but neither one of them overtakes the other one which can cause Precipitation that lasts for days
|
Where is there more rainfall during El Nino
South America coastline
|
Although outdoor air pollution is bad why is indoor air pollution worse
It is in a more concentrated area and can affect people indoors faster
|
What kind of cloud contains thunderstorms
cumulonimbus
|
Where is the lowest pressure in a hurricane
In the eye
|
What is the big difference between a cold front and a occluded front
In an occluded fronts the cold air mass catches up to the warm air mass but doesn't necessarily overtake it
|
What economic benefits does La Nina bring to South America
More marine life and fishing
|
What is the health effects of nitrogen dioxides
Respiratory function ailments
|
What is the chemical formula for ozone
O3
|
What happens to the tide before a hurricane hits
A storm surge where the water rises above normal tides
|
What equipment do meteorologists use to predict weather in advance
Weather balloons and radio towers
|
During la nina what happens to Australia
Monsoon season intensifies
|
Can ozone potentially be harmful
Yes when on or in the level of the troposphere it can cause many different health effects to people who breathe it in
