Water Cycle/CCR
What is the heat transfer through direct touch?
What is Conduction
Which cloud type are thin and wispy.
What is Cirrus
How is wind created?
What is the sun heats the earth UNEVENLY which causes warmer an cooler areas
Air pressure is effected by temp. SO the difference in air pressure is what causes wind
Which global wind belts blow from east to west? Name BOTH
What is
Trade Winds (happens at tropical zones)
Polar easterlies (happens at polar zones)
What is friction?
What is A force that acts in the opposite direction of the motion of the object(slows it down)
True or False?
The amount of water on Earth NEVER changes?
What is TRUE
What is weather?
What is The state of the atmosphere at a given time and place, short term
As altitude, temp., and humidity increases, air pressure (increases/ decreases)
What is DECREASES
Which global wind belt blows from west to east?
What is Prevailing Winds *This is responsible for moving weather across the US*
What is the difference between an inherited and acquired trait. Also give an example of each.
Inherited Trait- Received from your biological parents through DNA.
ex. eye color, hair color, height, blood type, skin color, foot size, freckles
Acquired Trait- Developed during the life(not born with it)
ex. talking, riding a bike, writing, reading, cut off your finger, scars, likes, dislikes
Give an example of Convection and Radiation
What is
Convection-boiling water, ocean currents
Radiation-sun, microwave, fire
Which cloud type are tall and dark, causing thunderstorms.
What is Cumulonimbus
What is the difference between Land and Sea Breeze?
What is
Sea Breeze- wind that blows from the sea (day)
Land breeze- wind that blow from the land (night)
What is the Jet Stream?
What is Air currents high in the atmosphere like a tube/ river of air, flows from W to E
(areas above the jet stream have cold temperatures and vise versa)
What is the study of heredity or how certain features pass from parents to their young?
What is Genetics
What is the term for water being absorbed into the ground?
What is Infiltration
What is this an example of...
Florida is sunny and warm almost all year
What is Climate
Describe each of the following:
Cold Front
Stationary Front
Warm Front
Occluded Front
What is
CF- Cold air moves in and replaces warm air. Usually storms, then cooler weather.
SF- Warm air and cold air meets and neither moves. Cloudy or rainy weather can last a while.
WF- Warm air moves in and replaces cold air. Usually light rain, then warmer weather.
OF- A cold front catches up to a warm front and pushes the warm air up. Usually lots of clouds and rain.
What is the difference between El Niño and La Niña?
El Niño- unusual warming of the Pacific Ocean which impacts weather and climate around the world (brings MORE rainstorms and warmer temps. Think-Warm Boy)
La Niña- unusual cooling of the Pacific Ocean which impacts weather and climate around the world (brings drier weather and cooler temps Think- Cool Girl)
What are Newton's First and second Law of Motion?
What is
First Law: A object stays at rest or in motion unless acted on by a force
Second Law: More force makes an object accelerate more
What is collection?
What is where precipitation collects (ex.snow collection, puddles, ponds, lakes)
All weather happens in the layer called..
What is Troposphere
What are the 4 types of air masses?
What is
Continental Polar (dry and cold)
Continental Tropical (dry and hot)
Maritime Tropical (humid and hot)
Maritime Polar (wet and cold)
What effect does the Gulf Stream have on weather?
The Gulf Stream warms the air making the east coast having milder winters
Which law explains why a rocket moves upward when gas pushes downward?
What is Newtons Third Law
