Fronts
What front is represented by red circles?
A warm front.
What is the breeze that comes from the sea called?
An ocean breeze.
what is the greenhouse effect?
Process of gasses in Earth's atmosphere tapping solar energy.
What is latitude?
Locations closest to the equator which tend to be warmer.
What instrument do you use to measure temperature?
Thermometer
what front is represented by blue triangles?
A cold front.
What loses heat more quickly - the land or the sea?
The sea
How do people help cause the greenhouse effect?
By adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere in car exhausts, factories etc.
What weather consists in the equator?
hot summers, warm winters.
What instrument do you use to measure wind speed?
Anemometer
What is a air front?
A weather system that is the boundary separating two different types of air.
Why do sailors leave early in the morning?
Land breezes blow from the land to the sea in the early morning allowing the yachts to catch the breeze making it easier to sail.
Are fewer trees involved in the greenhouse effect?
Yes they also increase the amount of CO2 because they are not there to take in oxygen.
What is altitude?
The elevation above sea level.
What instrument and what unit is used to measure pressure?
Barometer/ hPA ( hecta pascal)
What front is represented by red and blue circles?
A stationary front.
What happens to a coastal town when warm air rises over the town and the cold air sinks over the ocean close by?
It causes a wind from the ocean to blow onto the land called a sea breeze
Explain the greenhouse effect
The atmosphere contains many gasses that trap the heat making the earth hotter than usual.
What does distance from large bodies of water have to do with temperature?
Water heat more slowly then land, also cools more slowly, preventing temperature extremes.
where are the instruments to measure weather located in Sweden?
Stora Sjöfallet in northern Lapland, approximately 20 kilometers south of Kebnekaise.
What front is represented purple circles and triangles?
Occluded front.
Why it happens when land changes temperature faster than water
The different heating and cooling rates create pressure differences and local winds.
What is the 2nd most abundant greenhouse gas after C2O?
Methane gas which is produced by cows.
What does the gulf current have to do with temperatures in Sweden.
Carry warm across the Atlantic to warm the country more than expected. .
Is 900 hPA considered low or high pressure?
Low pressure
