Winds
What is that wind called that blows on the equator?
The wind that blows on the equator is called the Doldrums.
What is convection?
Convection is an air cycle of air moving from cold to warm air pressure. The cold, dense air sinks into the ground, while hot or warm air rises.
What causes ocean currents?
Ocean currents are mostly caused by winds, but can be caused by density differences in water masses.
Hurricanes occur;
only near the equator over warm ocean water.
What is a atmosphere?
The atmosphere is the air surrounding the Earth, and the moisture in the air.
Is the Horse Latitude high, or low pressure?
The Horse Latitude is High Pressure.
What does ground water do?
Ground water feeds wetlands such as lakes, streams, ect.
How many currents are there?
There are two ocean currents. The surface currents, which are caused by mostly wind, and below the current below the surface, which is caused by temperature and density of the water.
Will there always be clouds in the sky?
No. Depending on how dewy it it there could be a lot of clouds or no clouds.
Evaporation is ;
when liquid rises and becomes a gas. It goes into the air and becomes clouds at a certain height.
60 degrees north is what wind, and is it high or low pressure?
Polar easterlies wind is 60 degrees north and it is low pressure.
Do you like elf on the shelf?
The answer is yes. You should always LOVE elf on the shelf rather than like. I will not give you a choice.
Surface currents effect only the upper most ;
100 to 200 meters of water. After that, it is no longer the SURFACE currents.
Are snowflakes ever the same as others?
No. Because snowflakes move around while in the clouds, and the temperature and humidity is different in certain layers of a cloud, the snowflakes shape and size can be completely random.
What is a hydrosphere?
A hydrosphere is all the water that is on the Earth. We live on the planet blue because of the hydrosphere.
What 2 winds are next to the Doldrums and 3 after the Doldrums?
The Northeast trade winds and the Southeast trade winds are next to the Doldrums, while the Westerlies are 3 after the Doldrums.
What is one present you've got for a familia member for Navidad (Christmas).
Anything you say is correct, because if I knew, that would mean I'm a stalker which I'm not.
A Gyre is;
currents moving in a large circular pattern. Each Gyre is bordered by 1 or more continents.
Extra credit: What are tsunamis?
Tsunamis are a series of extremely long waves caused by a large and sudden displacement of the ocean.
Precipitation is ;
when rain, snow, sleet or hale (all forms of water) are falling down.
Name all of the winds.
Polar easterlies, north and south.
Westerlies, north and south
Horse Latitude, north and south
Northeast trade winds and Southeast trade winds.
Doldrums
What do you do in a engineering process?
A engineering process is when you have a criteria, constraints, identify, when you imagine, have a plan, when you create, test, and improve.
The rotation of the Earth causes what?
Causes the winds to deflect of to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and deflect of to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.(Coriolis effect)
Lightening occurs when ;
warm, moist air rises high into the atmosphere (up draft) that's when thunder storms occur. The negative charge in the lower part of the storm also causes a positive charge on the ground. When both become strong enough, there is energy released which is the form of lightening.
What is runoff?
Runoff is when water adds to the flow of streams, river, ect, until it gets to the lowest point where it can collect.
