Weather vs Climate Atmosphere Global Weather Patterns Water Cycle
100
What is the difference between weather and climate?
Weather is the here and now and climate is the average weather over a long period of time.
100
List the five layers of the atmosphere in order of distance from the Earth's surface.
- Troposphere
- Stratosphere
- Mesosphere
- Thermosphere
- Exosphere
100
Which two types of air masses would contribute to a polar jet stream?
- Two air masses of different temperatures meeting near the North and South poles
100
What type of weather occurs when warm air rises up into the atmosphere and cools?
Cloud Formation and possibly rain
200
List and define the 5 types of climate.
- Polar
- Continental
- Mild
- Tropical
- Dry
200
Which layer of the atmosphere contains the ozone?
- Stratosphere
200
Which of these is a similarity between a polar and a subtropical jet stream?
Both are formed at the boundary of warm and cool air masses.
200
If two locations have different water vapor measurements, then the weather would report a difference in.....
- Air Pressure

Write a statement that describes climate.
Write a statement that describes weather.
- Arizona receives an average of 10 inches of rain per year
- It was 45 degrees in Glendale, Arizona at 6:45 am
300
Which layer contains the majority of the air we breathe?
- Troposphere
300
Which two types of air masses would likely form a subtropical jet stream?
Cool and warm air masses meeting near the equator
400
How does weather and climate change?
- Air Pressure
- Water Cycle
- Human Activity
- Atmosphere
400
Which layer of the atmosphere reflects radio waves back to Earth?
- Thermosphere
400
Which of these is a likely climate impact of the weakening of trade winds on the eastern Pacific ocean?
Warm surface ocean water builds up, resulting in warmer than average conditions.
500
Why is studying how climate changes important?
Answers will vary
500
What would happen if we did not have the stratosphere and the troposphere?
- If we did not have the stratosphere, there would be more exposure to radiation
- If we did not have the troposphere, we would not have weather
500
Which of these is a likely climate impact of the stronger than normal trade winds on the eastern Pacific ocean?
Warm surface water is reduced, causing colder conditions than normal.
