Seasons
Seasons are caused by this
What is Revolution?
Hot air goes in this direction
What is UP/RISE/NORTH?
Liquid water to Gas
What is Evaporation?
Hurricanes need this temperature of ocean water to form
What is WARM ocean water?
Ms.King's Favorite Animal
What is a DUCK?
The season the northern hemisphere is in when it is tilted AWAY from the sun
What is Winter?
TRUE OR FALSE: Cold air will sink and push hot air upwards
TRUE
Sun's energy is transferred in this cycle that uses water
What is the WATER CYCLE.
The curving path due the Earth's rotation
What is the CORIOLIS EFFECT?
Ms.King's Favorite Season
What is Spring?
True or False: We are closer to the sun during the Summer.
FALSE: We are closer to the sun during WINTER.
Distributes solar energy through the air (if you see it, it's probably the answer)
What are convection currents?
Hurricanes turn in this direction in the northern hemisphere
What is COUNTERCLOCKWISE.
Front with blue triangles
What is a COLD FRONT?
If Ms.King could be any ZOO animal, what would it be?
What is a TREE FROG?

What is Sea Breeze?
Jet streams move in his direction
WEST TO EAST
What is the degree of Earth's tilt

3 Reasons for Seasons
What are: Earth's Tilt, Solar Angle, Earth's Revolution
Put in order of what heats up the FASTEST to the SLOWEST
Land, Water, Air
Put the water cycle in order

What weather can you expect on a Warm Front
what is LIGHT PRECIPITATION?
Which statement below does NOT describe how energy from the sun, hydrosphere, and the atmosphere to influence weather?
A. Heat causes the water to evaporate, a key part of the water cycle.
B. The sun's energy is transferred between the atmosphere and the hydrosphere
C. The atmosphere absorbs more of the sun's energy than the hydrosphere does.
D. The unequal heating of Earth creates winds in the atmosphere and currents in the oceans.
C. The atmosphere absorbs more of the sun's energy than the hydrosphere does.
