Weather
The state of the atmosphere in a specific place, at a specific moment. It can change in two or three hours.
What is weather?
It is the average state of the atmosphere in a place over many years.
What is climate?
These are the three types of climate zones.
What are polar zones, temperate zones and tropical zones.
The interconnectedness of organisms (plants, animals, microbes) with each other and their environment.
What is ecosystem?
An area of low pressure created when air heats up and rises.
What is a depression?
This scientist studies, reports and forecasts weather conditions.
What is a meteorologist?
This takes hundreds, thousands or sometimes millions of years to change.
What is climate?
Temperatures in these zones vary a lot between winter and summer depending on the distance from the sea.
What are temperate zones?
The trees in this terrestrial biome are always green and certain animals are adapted to live here.
What is Taiga?
This animal lives in the coldest climate zones. It has transparent fur and adipose tissue that protects them from the extremely cold temperatures.
What is the polar bear?
These two things affect the temperature of an area and both include distance.
What is Latitude and Altitude?
Any gas such as carbon dioxide and chlorofluorocarbons produced as volatile derivatives of methane, ethane and propane that contribute to the changing climate when released into the atmosphere.
What are greenhouse gasses?
Precipitation in these zones is rare.
What are polar zones?
In this terrestrial biome there is not a lot of temperature variation with averages of 28 degrees Celsius in the summer and 25 degrees Celsius in the winter.
What is savannah?
This type of ecosystem includes estuaries, marshland and mangrove forests. THey are near the sea, shallow and home to a lot of herbs and aquatic plants, insects mollusks, snakes and fish.
What are Brackish Water Ecosystems?
This is created in areas of high pressure. Clouds do not form because the air does not rise creating dry and sunny weather.
What is an anticyclone?
These three factors affect the atmospheric temperature and pressure of an area and therefore also affect the climate.
What is Latitude, altitude and distance from the sea?
Spain is located within this type of climate zone.
What is a temperate zone?
This treeless terrestrial biome is found in the polar climate zones.
What is cold desert?
The name of the witch that William portrayed in the Halloween play.
What is Meg?
These are instruments found in a weather staion and are used by meteorologists to meausure the amount of liquid precipitation, the speed and direction of the wind, and the temperature.
What are a rain guage, a wind vane, an anemometer, and a thermometer.
This is attributed to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and the greenhouse effect.
What is global warming?
Bogota, Colombia is located in this climate zone.
What is a tropical zone?
The south of Spain has this type of terrestrial biome.
What is Mediterranean?
The place that William is from is located in this climate zone and biome.
