The Atmosphere
This process turns liquid water into water vapor at high temperatures.
What is evaporation?
This symbol and the color red represents clear skies on a weather map.
What is a red H?
Hottest area of the earth.
What is the equator?
Our global temperatures have continued to increase over the past century and it is predicted to continue to increase. This will lead to an even more increase of ________ _________.
***Looking for two words***
What is deforestation?
This process turns water vapor back to liquid water when the temperature lowers.
What is condensation?
Long term weather patterns of a specific location.
What is climate?
The coldest parts of the earth.
What are the North and South Poles?
Some solar radiation is reflected in the Earth's atmosphere. Most radiation is trapped within the atmosphere due to greenhouses gases such as CO2 and methane. This helps our Earth stay warm enough to sustain life.
What is the Greenhouse Effect?
***TRUE OR FALSE:
By taking more airplane trips and road trips, buying more groceries than I need and buying more new clothes. I am reducing my negative impact on the environment.
FALSE!
This MAIN source of energy is the MAIN reason for weather and climate.
What is the sun?
Air from the ocean is carried by winds onto land and up the mountain. Making the air full of moisture. Before it makes up and over the mountain, precipitation falls and only dry air makes to the other side making dry and desert like.
What is the rain shadow effect?
The reason there is unequal heating of the earth.
What is the earth's tilt?
If we didn't have this, the earth's solar radiation would kill all life.
What is the atmosphere?
As a farmer, you want to have the best soil to produce the best fruits and vegetables. You decide to add nutrients such as Nitrogen and Phosphorus. This helps your produce grow better. Unfortunately, every time you water your crops, water runs into the lake/river. This is an example of ____________.
What is pollution?
Clouds are able to be transported from one location to another by ________.
What is wind?
These TWO atmospheric conditions make wind.
What is pressure and temperature?
An invisible force that appears to deflect wind. This also affects the rotation of hurricanes in a specific hemisphere.
What is the Coriolis Effect?
***Which of the following is the LEAST responsible for increasing global warming and greenhouse gases?
-Volcanic Eruptions
-Burning Fossil Fuels
-Deforestation
-Eating Beef
Volcanic Eruptions
The way we act, control and think about how we use renewable and non-renewable resources to accommodate our way of living is backed up by the concept of _________ ___________ and _______________.
What is environmental conservation and sustainability?
These two things are responsible for air convections.
What is heat and pressure?
As I climb up a mountain, altitude increases and pressure ________. As I climb back down the mountain altitude decreases and pressure _________.
What is decreases and increases?
Pattern like cells in which air rises at the equator and cools as they make their way to the poles. This pattern is continuous.
What are Hadley Cells?
***True or False:
If you want to decrease the amount of heat in your treehouse in the summer, then you should paint it black. This will allow heat to bounce off and not get absorbed and therefore decrease the temperature.
FALSE!
As we breathe out, we exhale CO2 (carbon dioxide), one of the main gases of greenhouses. Trees help take up CO2 from the environment and in return provide us with oxygen. Unfortunately, the amount of trees and plants have been decreasing over the years and continue to do so. Therefore, CO2 levels have increased rapidly over the last 100 years.
What is deforestation?
