|
What is the rising and sinking of matter in a circular pattern due to differences in pressure?
Define a convection current
|
What is latitude, elevation, and proximity to water?
The three influencers of a locations climate are:
|
|
|
What is amount of water vapor in the air?
What is humidity?
|
What is nimbus clouds?
These clouds usually produce precipitation (normally rain)
|
What is warm rises, cool sinks?
________ air rises and _____ air sinks.
|
What is temperate?
The United States is found in a ________________ climate zone
|
What is when a high pressure system meets a low pressure system? a convection current similar to a high five meet and wind is created
Wind is created when...
|
|
What is near the equator and are formed by the warm air rising creating a low pressure system that then makes the warm air travel away from the equator cool and sink?
Trade winds are found near the ______ and are formed by ...
|
What is cumulonimbus clouds?
These clouds are tied to thunderstorms that can usually lead to hail based on wind
|
What is precipitation may form due to air flowing up a mountainside and cooling, mountains may also block the flow of a storm system, windward side blocks rain from the leeward side of mountain making it dry (rain shadow effect)?
Describe the type of weather that can happen in a mountain?
|
What is because inland there are less bodies of water and Quito is in the Andes Mountains which is higher in elevation therefore a lot cooler because like air pressure, temperature decreases with elevation?
Although Quito, Ecuador is located on the equator it experiences cooler temperatures inland, explain why?
|
What is although the United States is in a temperate zone, Miami is closer to subtropical lines because its closer to the equator, it is also high in humidity because of its proximity to water, it has zero elevation causing warmer weather?
Why is the weather and climate in Miami different from the rest of the United States?
|
|
What is low barometric pressure creates rainy weather (pressure builds near land and rising air and moisture create clouds that lead to rain), high barometric pressure creates sunny weather (pressure is up in the sky and clears up the sky)?
Low barometric pressure usually indicates __________ weather and high barometric pressure usually indicates _________ weather
|
What is that snow falls from freezing temperatures, sleet falls from freezing temperatures to warmer ones and then freezes again, and hail is frozen rain that gets carried through a cloud many types?
The difference between snow, sleet and hail is
|
What is land warms quicker than water in the daytime and land cools quicker than water at night time meaning the convection currents change direction?
Describe land and water in relation to heat and convection currents
|
