What Makes Wind ?
When a High pressure area meets a low pressure area basically the uneven heating of the Earth by the sun and the Earth's own rotation.
100
What are Currents?
describes the motion of the ocean.

What is Heat transfer
Heat Transfer is when the hest from something transfer's tosomething else

- CONDENSATION.
- PRECIPITATION.
- INTERCEPTION.
- INFILTRATION.
- PERCOLATION.
- TRANSPIRATION.

what is denser hot or cold?
cold
200
How is a Cold front caused ?
cold air mass pushes into the warm air mass (the cold front
200
Name 1 major current or gyre we learned about
The North and South Pacific Subtropical Gyres, the North and South Atlantic Subtropical Gyres, and the Indian Ocean Subtropical Gyre. Gulf Stream North Atlantic Current
200
What are the 3 types of heat transfer we talked about
- radiation.
- conduction.
- convection.
200
What is Evaporation?
When the water rises and turns into a gas
200
Why does cold water sink the the bottom of the ocean
Because it is more dense than warm water
300
How is a a Warm front made?
A warm air mass pushes into a colder air mass
300
What is a Gyre?
A gyre is a large system of rotating ocean currents.
300
Name the definition of one of these types of heat transfer
- radiation.
- conduction.
- convection.
Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy through direct contact. Convection is the transfer of thermal energy through the movement of a liquid or gas. Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy through thermal emission
300
What is Precipitaion?
Precipitation is any liquid or frozen water that forms in the atmosphere and falls back to the Earth. It comes in many forms, like rain, sleet, and snow. Along with evaporation and condensation, precipitation is one of the three major parts of the global water cycle.
(You dont have to say all of this)

Is it More or Less dense when the molecules are spread apart ?
Less Dense
400
What is Latitude and Longitude?
latitude and longitude, coordinate system by means of which the position or location of any place on Earth’s surface can be determined and described. Latitude is lake a ladder across and longitude is the other way.
400
What Causes Currents?
Ocean currents can be caused by wind, density differences in water masses caused by temperature and salinity variations, gravity, and events such as earthquakes or storms.
400
What does it mean when Convection is happening.
Convection is when there is a heat source and the heat rises and brings down the cold for that to also get warmed
400
What is it called when the water is trapped in the ground near the lakes and soil.
Groundwater Storage
400
Which is more dense Water or Oil?
Water is more dense
500
Why does Air move like at all?
\ This is something that happens in nature all the time: things always try to even out. It’s called diffusion.
500
Name the label of the following
500
Name 3 objects that use either Convection,Conduction , or Radiation
Example Conduction ,Holding an Ice-Cube ,Holding a hot pop from the stove, Sitting on a leather chair.
Example Radiation ,heat or light from the sun, microwaves from an oven, X rays from an X-ray tube and gamma rays from radioactive elements.
Example Convection
- Hot air rising above a fire.
- Ice melting.
- Sea breeze or land breeze caused by a difference in pressure.
- Blood circulation in warm-blooded animals.

What is the Water cycle?
The water cycle is the path that all water follows as it moves around Earth in different states. Liquid water is found in oceans, rivers, lakes—and even underground. Solid ice is found in glaciers, snow, and at the North and South Poles. Water vapor—a gas—is found in Earth’s atmosphere.(You did not has to say all of this :)

Why does wood float?
An object that is less dense than water can be held up by water, and so it floats.Which is because Since the wood weighs less than the same volume of water, the wood is less dense than water and floats.
