Weather vs Climate
This term describes the day-to-day conditions of the atmosphere, like temperature and precipitation.
Weather
The layer the closest to the Earth
The Troposphere
This sphere includes all the air surrounding Earth.
The Atmosphere
This type of heat transfer happens when molecules collide and pass energy directly from one to another
Conduction
Wind flows from a _______________ pressure to a
_________________ pressure
High to Low
2x−5=11.
8
This term refers to the average weather patterns in a region over many years.
Climate
This layer contains the ozone that protects us from harmful UV rays.
The Stratosphere
This sphere includes all the water on Earth, like oceans, rivers, and lakes
This type of heat transfer occurs because warm fluids rise and cool fluids sink, creating a cycle
Convection
High pressure has what properties
Happy weather
heavy air
cold air
Simplify (3x - 6) - (-2x -10)
5x + 4
About how many years of data is collected to calculate climate?
30
This gas makes up about 78% of Earth’s atmosphere.
Nitrogen
This sphere includes all living things on Earth
The Biosphere
This type of heat transfer can occur through empty space without any particles.
Radiation
Low Pressure has the following properties
Lousy weather
light air
Warm air
What is the area of a rectangle that has a length of 4 an a width of 5
20
Scientists use ice cores and tree rings to study this over thousands of years.
Climate
This layer stops meteors from destroying the Earth
The Mesosphere
Earth's systems are described as spheres. Which pair of Earth's spheres interact the most when ocean waves break onto a beach
geosphere and hydrosphere
Give me one example for each type of heat transfer
Answers Vary
What causes a Land Breeze
Land cools faster than the water at night.
Convection
What is the diameter of a circle?
The distance across the center
Why does the equator have a tropical climate?
because it receives direct sunlight all year-round?
The auroras occur in this layer of the atmosphere.
the thermosphere?
How does volcanic ash in the atmosphere affect the biosphere?
it can harm plants, animals, and humans?
Why does warm air rise?
because it is less dense than cool air?
Explain why wind speed is higher in open areas than in forests.
because there is less friction slowing the air down
Simplify: (3/4x + 4/5) + 2(2/3 X - 4)
