Go With the Flow!
This is defined as an ocean current.
What is the flow or movement of ocean water?
This is two examples of global winds
What is Trade Winds, Westerlies, or Polar Easterlies
This is the warmest part of our planet?
What is the equator?
This climate region is found near the equator and is warm and rainy all year.
What is tropical region?
This type of pressure system is usually associated with clear skies and calm weather.
What is high pressure?
This is where is the coldest ocean water is found.
What are near the North and South Poles?
This causes winds
What is unequal heating of the atmosphere?
This is where the coldest air and ocean water are located on our planet
What is the north or south poles?
This climate region has hot summers, cold winters, and four distinct seasons.
What is the temperature region?
This type of pressure system often brings clouds, rain, and storms.
Warm water originates here.
What is the equator?
This is what global winds are found between 30° and 60° latitude and move weather across the United States?
What is the Westerlies
This is why the water on the west coast of the United States is cold.
What is the water for the poles sink downward, along the west coast of the United States?
This type of air mass forms over land and is usually dry.
What is contential?
This rotating storm forms over warm ocean water and can become very powerful.
Hurricanes
This happens to warm water at the equator.
What is 'it flows toward the poles?'
This is the global winds located in the polar regions of our Earth
What is Polar Easterlies
This is why Western Europe has a warm climate.
What is the Gulf Stream brings up warm water from the East Coast of the United States?
When a warm air mass and a cold air mass meet, this boundary is formed.
What is a front?
This type of storm starts from a cumulonimbus cloud
What is a thunderstorm?
This is why cold water at the poles 'flow' downward
What is cold water is denser
This is the TWO global winds that contribute to hurricane development?
What is Trade winds and Westerlies
This is how ocean currents or global winds move around the Earth.
What is ocean currents and global winds move in large, curved patterns around the Earth.
This air mass forms over cold land areas near the poles and brings cold, dry weather when it moves into the United States.
What is contentital polar?
This type of storm only forms in maritime tropical areas
What is a hurricane?
