The definition of weather.

what is short term atmospheric conditions? 

100

This type of air rises and creates a LOW pressure system. 

What is warm air? 

100

this gas has increased in the past 100 years due to human activity. 

What is Carbon dioxide? 

100

The three major climate zones. 

what are Tropical, mid-latitude and polar? 

100

The type of pressure system when cool air sinks, that has no precipitation or clouds due to no rising air. 

what is high pressure system? 

200

The definition of climate. 

What is long term pattern of weather of an area? 
200

This type of air sinks and creates a HIGH pressure system. 

What is cold air? 

200

The current atmospheric condition. 

What is 78% N, 21% O2 and 1% other? 

200

Each zone have difference types of climates because of the amount of this. 

What is precipitation? 

200
The definition of convection currents.

what is the process which cool air sinks and hot air rises due to density differences? 

300

Climate is determined by these. 

What is temperature and precipitation? 

300

when this happens, the air warms and becomes less dense. 

What is the sun warms the ground? 
300

The first gasses in our atmosphere.

what are helium and hydrogen? 

300

The three type of tropical climates.

what are rainforest, desert and savanna? 

300

The reason the earth is warmer near the equator.

what is the earth's tilt?

OR 

what is the sun is more direct at equator? (due to earth's tilt)

400

Visualizes average temperatures and precipitation data. 

What is a climograph? 

400

More precipitation due to condensation of moisture. 

what is warm air rising/ low pressure system? 

400

The 5 types of mid-latitude climates. 

what are marine west coast, humid continental, humid subtropical, steppe and Mediterranean? 

400

This absorbs and releases heat more slowly, which moderates nearby land temperatures AND increase precipitation. 

what is large bodies of water? 

500
The definition of Latitude. 
What is the angular distance from the equator? 
500

This place has a low pressure system, and this place has a high pressure system. 

What is equator and poles? 

500

The 3 types of polar climates. 

what are subarctic, tundra, and polar icecap? 
500

These impact microclimate. 

what is density of vegetation, elevation, proximity to water and human made structures?
