6th graders got no rizz
Define prevailing wind
the direction the wind blows from the most
What is the difference between weather and climate?
weather is conditions now, climate is the weather over a long period of time (30 years)
define atmosphere and which part of atmosphere do we live in and which part has the most weather
the gas surrounding earth, troposphere
What causes the lithospheric plates to move?
gravity and convection
what measures wind speed?
anemometer
Define latitude
how far away from equator
What affects climate? (3 things)
landforms, large bodies of water and altitude
Define currents and what affect they have on climate
regular movements of large amounts of ocean water, the currents can warm or cool the climate
define divergent, convergent and transform plate boundaries
divergent away from each other, convergent towards each other and transform slides past each other
Define mass
the amount of matter or substance that makes up an object
Which heats faster, cools faster and which heats slower but cools slower.
Sand Water
sand heats faster and cools faster, water heats slower and cools slower
How much of Earth's surface is covered in water AND where?
71% Oceans
Define Coriolis Effect
Earth’s counterclockwise rotation causes winds in the northern hemisphere to swing to the right. The winds in the southern hemisphere swing to the left. The effect is stronger at higher latitudes.
Winds blow from?
higher pressure to lower pressure
Favorite time of school day
Liar. It's lunch.
If you could be with one teacher and in one room all day, which would it be?
Don't lie. Lunch all day.
What are fronts? cold fronts? and warm fronts?
Areas with unstable and often stormy weather/Mass of colder air is replacing a warmer air mass/A warmer air mass if replacing a cooler air mass
Define Mean, median, mode and range
Mean- Average, add all the values and divide by how many values there is. Range- the difference between the smallest and largest value (number) Median- The value (number) that is in the middle after listing values in order. Mode- the number that appears the most
Define Causation
(casual relationship) means that A causes B to occur.
How do ocean currents affect climate?
warm ocean currents will warm up an area, just as cold ocean currents cool the climate
causation
Define greenhouse effect
gases in the air that absorb and hold thermal energy
Find the mean, mode, median and range for KC Chiefs points for each Super Bowl: 10, 23, 31, 9, 38, 25, 22
mean: 22.57 mode: none median: 23 range: 29
Define Correlation
that there is a relationship between two things, but does not always mean that one causes the other
Define criteria and constraints
Criteria are the requirements or goals that a design must meet. Constraints are factors that limit or restrict possible designs.
