Climate Change
What are some major effects by climate change?
More violent storms, and if the ice burgs melt sea levels will rise and people would be in danger
What is a lava flow?
A madd or flowing
How do tornadoes form?
You need warm and moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and the cool and dry air when those air masses met they create instability in the atmosphere.
What is a tropical storm?
A localized very intense low pressure wind system, foreign over tropical oceans and with winds of hurricane force
Waves that travel along Earths surface is?
Surface waves
What is the impact of global warming or global cooling on sea level?
Global warming is large glaciers will melt into the ocean thereby causing sea levels to rise
Global Cooling is water form oceans will transfer onto the land thereby causing sea levels to drop
How do volcanoes form?
When magma from within the Earth's upper mantle works its way to the surface at the surface it erupts to form lava flows and as deposits
What causes tornadoes?
Thunderstorms when there is sufficient instability and wing shear present in the lower atmosphere.
What is a tropical depression?
By thunderstorms that produce a circular wind flow within maximum a sustained winds below 39 mph
What is intensity?
Measure of the amount of shaking in a location based in damage
What is the Green House effect?
Gases in the atmosphere that creates a dome
What happens during a volcanic eruption?
Gases and ash clouds in the atmosphere
Where are the most tornadoes?
Hurricanes form when?
Warm water surface level low pressure and upper level high pressure
What is the relationship between volcanoes and earthquakes?
Most earthquakes are along edges of tectonic plates same with volcanoes but most earithquakes are caused by the interaction of the plats not the movement of magma
