air pollution
A city with bad air quality
1. Neverland
2. Delhi
3. Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville, FL.
4. Elmira-Corning, NY.
The answer is Delhi, palm bay & Elmira are have very low rates of air pollution.
What causes the weather?
Weather processes such as wind, clouds, and precipitation are all the result of the atmosphere responding to uneven heating of the Earth by the Sun. Together, this uneven heating in both the horizontal and vertical directions in the atmosphere causes everything that we perceive as "weather".
What are the atmosphere layers called?
troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere and thermosphere.
name a weather tool that tells you the temperature
Thermometer.
What is a disadvantage of wind power?
One of the biggest downsides of wind energy is the noise and visual pollution. Wind turbines can be noisy when operating, as a result of both the mechanical operation and the wind vortex that's created when the blades are rotating.
A main cause of air pollution
1. Recycle
2. Burning fossil fuels
3. making daisy headbands
Burning fossil fuels
Where is the safest place to go when a tornado hits?
Go to the basement or an inside room without windows on the lowest floor (bathroom, closet, center hallway). Avoid windows. For added protection get under something sturdy (a heavy table or workbench).
What is the most abundant element in the earth's atmosphere?
nitrogen
What are the most common weather tools?
(at least get 3)
How efficient is wind power?
modern wind turbine produces electricity 70-85% of the time, but it generates different outputs depending on the wind speed. Over the course of a year, it will typically generate about 24% of the theoretical maximum output (41% offshore). This is known as its capacity factor.
Which diseases are caused by air pollution?
(if you said any in the answer that is fine, you don't have to say all)
heart disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, and acute respiratory infections in children. Worldwide ambient air pollution accounts for: 29% of all deaths and disease from lung cancer.
How does a cloud fill up with water?
(you don't have to say the whole answer)
water drops and ice crystals that make up a cloud are floating not because they are soaked up by some sponge-like material that is holding them in place. Rather, the water drops and ice crystals that make up a cloud float because they are so small that the air resistance balances out gravity.
What is the correct order of earth's atmospheric layers from bottom to top?
troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere and thermosphere. A further region at about 500 km above the Earth's surface is called the exosphere.
Why do we measure weather?
(doesn't have to be exact)
Meteorologists measure weather conditions in different places and use this information to report and make forecasts about future weather conditions. This is useful because people can be warned about hazardous weather conditions such as storms and floods.
What is basic wind speed?
Basic wind speed is the wind speed that is used in determining wind load on the solar structure. It is often in the form of maximum 3-second averaging wind speed for 300 return years at 33ft height above ground or maximum 10-minute averaging wind speed for 50 return years at 10m height above ground over the open field.
Who is affected by air pollution?
(if you said any in the answer that is fine, you don't have to say all)
The groups most affected by air pollution are people of color, elderly residents, children with uncontrolled asthma, and people living in poverty. Vulnerable populations may experience more health effects because these populations already have higher rates of heart and lung conditions.
What are the 5 factors of weather?
Temperature.
Pressure.
Cloud Cover.
Humidity.
Winds.
What is the most important atmosphere?
Troposphere is considered as the most important layer of atmosphere.
How can we measure rainfall?
rain gauge
What factors affect wind speed?
pressure gradient, Rossby waves and jet streams, and local weather conditions. There are also links to be found between wind speed and wind direction, notably with the pressure gradient and terrain conditions.
Which country has the highest number of deaths from air pollution?
(if you said any in the answer that is fine, you don't have to say all)
Japan--47,703
Germany--39,536
Mexico--31,141
These are the top 3
How many types of severe weather are there?
What is the coldest layer of the atmosphere?
the mesosphere is the coldest area of the Earth's atmosphere because temperature may locally decrease to as low as 100 K (-173°C).
What tools are used to predict tornadoes?
(list at least 2)
Barometer measures atmospheric pressure, a thermometer measures the temperature, and an anemometer measures wind speed and direction. Weather radar detects precipitation in the clouds, and the Doppler radar takes measurements of winds in clouds in order to predict severe storms and tornadoes.
What is the difference between wind speed and wind gust?
The fundamental difference between the two is duration. A sustained wind is defined as the average wind speed over two minutes. A sudden burst in wind speed is called the wind gusts and typically lasts under 20 seconds.
