What phase of the moon can produce a lunar eclipse?
full moon
400
Heat trapped in the troposphere creates convection currents. These are likely to produce:
clouds low pressure storms

400
What happens to the temperatures over land and sea when a land breeze begins?
Land temperatures drop and temperatures over the sea remain the same, so they are higher.
400
What is the alignment of the Earth, moon and Sun during a solar eclipse?
Sun, moon, Earth or Earth, moon, Sun
500
Air over the land rises and is replaced by cool air from over the water when this occurs.
sea breeze
500
What do we call the magnetic storm caused by microwaves from the Sun bombarding the ionosphere of the Earth.
Auroras
500
What happens on the beach when the Sun goes down?
The land cools off. The water stays warm. Convection currents rise from the water and are replaced from cool air from over the land, producing a land breeze.
500
The temperature over the land ___ when a sea breeze begins.
rises
500
Why do we not have a solar eclipse every new moon?
The moon is on a different plane from the Sun and Earth.
