It’s Heating Up
Less dense, rises, less pressure
What is heat/hot air/hot water
Blue triangles in the direction of the fronts movement
What is a cold front
Pressure that forms a hurricane
Only feature of a transform boundary
What is a fault
This effect causes the curving of winds
What is the Coriolis Effect
More dense, sinks, high pressure
Cold/cold water/cold air
Alternating red half circles and blue triangles
What is a stationary front
Water temperature necessary for formation of a hurricane
What is warm water
Reason why Florida summers are warmer than Michigan summers
What is Florida receives more direct sunlight than Michigan
Without this, all temperature based currents would cease
Forecast for a region that has a low pressure system over it
What is stormy, warm, etc. Loser weather
Reason why hurricanes hit Texas but not California
What is the Gulf of Mexico is real warm
Rift Valley
What is a divergent boundary
This causes plate movement
What is convection currents in the mantle
Continuous motion of air leads to stability of this
What is temperature and climate
Moves quickly and leaves behind clear skies and sunny weather
What is a cold front
Circumstances that will weaken a hurricane (name 3)
Land, Cold Water, High Pressure
Area where a denser plate moves under an less dense plate, pushing the less dense plate up
What is a subduction zone
A global pattern of atmospheric movement that influences patterns in local weather, generally bringing weather from West to East
What is the Jet Stream
Day time heating leads to this kind of gust
What is sea breeze
Overcast, warmer, humid
Weather after a warm front
Wind is measure in mph, temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius. This is what pressure is measured in.
What is millibars
These usually occur next to continental volcanoes
What is an ocean trench
Period where the Pacific is cooler than normal
What is a La Niña.
