What is wind
The process of a liquid changing to a gas at the surface of the liquid.
What is evaporation
The transfer of thermal energy by electromagnetic waves.
What is radiation
What is found at 00 latitude.
What is the equator
The vertical movement of water caused by differences in density.
What is density current
The process by which a gas changes to a liquid.
What is condensation
The circulation of particles within a material caused by differences in thermal energy and density.
What is convection
The process by which atoms form a solid with an orderly, repeating pattern.
What is crystallization
The distance in degrees north or south of the equator.
What is latitude
Water, in liquid or solid form, that falls from the atmosphere.
What is precipitation
The vertical movement of water towards the ocean's surface.
What is upwelling
The transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles of matter.
What is conduction
Cold winds that blow from the east to the west near the North Pole and South Pole.
What are polar easterlies
The measure of the relectivity of a surface.
What is albedo
A wind-driven current that carries ocean water horizontally across the ocean's surface.
What is surface current
The process by which plants release water vapor through their leaves.
What is transpiration
Steady winds that flow from east to west between 300N latitude and 300S latitude.
What are trade winds
The series of natural processes by which water continually moves throughout the hydrosphere.
What is the water cycle
Steady winds that flow from west to east between the latitudes of 300N and 600N, and 300S and 600S.
What are prevailing westerlies
An area of permeable sediment or rock that holds significant amount of water.
