What is the net force of a balanced object?
0 N

A glacier melts and increases water in the sea.
Which two spheres are interacting?
Cryosphere and Hydrosphere
300
Which heats up fastest during the day and cools down quickly at night? Land or Sea?
Land!!
300
Can climate change? Yes or no? If yes, does it change quickly or slowly?
Yes it changes SLOWLY
300
What is the cause of wind on Earth?
Uneven heating of the atmosphere and differences in air pressure.

2. Is is balanced or unbalanced?
3. Is it going to move left or right?
1. 3N
2. Unbalanced
3. Right

During a long drought, lakes and rivers dry up, affecting the hydrosphere. Animals are forced to migrate in search of water. What other sphere is interacting in this situation?
Biosphere (the animals)
400
Fill in the blanks with (cool or warm)
Land Breeze definition:
______ air from the land replaces the rising ______ air over the sea.
Cool air from the land replaces the rising warm air over the sea.
400
Every July is warm outside.
Is this an example of weather or climate? How do you know?
It is climate because EVERY JULY shows a weather pattern over many years.
400
Sunlight reflects off the snow back into space.
Which two spheres are interacting?
Atmosphere and Cryosphere
500
What is the same about lines A, B, and C? What is different?
Similar: ALL lines are at constant speed
Different: Different speeds (fast constant, slow constant, etc.) and different distance traveled.

Marcus built a terrarium containing rocks, soil, plants, and air. He added some water to wet the soil and sealed it shut.
Name ALL the spheres interacting.
Geosphere (rocks, soil) Biosphere (plants) Atmosphere (air) and Hydrosphere (water)
500
Why does the wind change direction between day and night?
During the day, the water is cold so the breeze comes from the SEA. At night, the land cools down quickly and the water is warm so the breeze comes from the LAND.
The breeze always comes from the COOL place.

It rained every afternoon in the city for a week.
The same city usually has dry hot summers.
Which statement above is an example of weather and which is climate? Or are they both the same? How do you know?
It rained every afternoon in the city for a week. - Weather (for a week)
The same city usually has dry hot summers. - Climate (usually, summers)
500
What is the relationship between weather and climate?
Climate is the average weather conditions in a place over many years.
