Climate
In the troposphere, as the altitude increases what happens to the temperature
It decreases.
Coastal areas with warm ocean currents will have this kind of climate.
Warm climate
These are three parts of weather.
Wind, precipitation and temperature
Weather and climate occur here.
Troposphere
Convection currents occur
When hot (less dense) substances rise, and cooler (denser) substances sink
The tropics
The majority of the precipitation no earth begins from this location
The oceans
This is the difference between weather and climate.
Weather is a daily measurement, while climate is the measurement over a long period of time
This is the order of the layers of the atmosphere
Troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, exosphere
San Andreas fault is this type of boundary
Transform
The larger the angle of insolation _________
The warmer the climate will be
Ocean currents are created by these
Winds
The earth has seasons for these reasons
Earth's tilt & revolution around the sun
What do the tropopause, stratopause, and mesopause all have in common?
They are all barriers between the different layers of the atmosphere.
This happens at divergent boundaries.
Plates move away from each other.
These cause different climates on Earth
Latitude, Altitude, Tilt, Angle of insolation.
This is an abnormal climate event that happens in the pacific every 5-7 years
El Nino
We live in this climate zone
Temperate
The purpose of the ozone layer is this
It absorbs and filters uv radiation
These are characteristics of convergent boundaries.
Move towards each other, creates subduction zones, creates mountains.
This latitude would indicate a warmer climate: 80o, 60o, 0o, or 20o.
80o
Ocean currents create more habitable land on earth by doing this.
Mixing warm and cold water around the planet.
El Nino occurs because of this.
Trade winds weaken in the Pacific which increases water temperatures near North and South America
The layers of the atmosphere are divided based on this
Temperature
This happens at subduction zones.
The denser plate is forced underneath the less dense plate
