Wind
What are some factors that affects air pressure that makes our wind?
Density of Air Particles and Temperature of the air
The stream-like movement of ocean water in a regular pattern
Ocean Current
What are the three main types of heat transfer?
Conduction, Radiation, and Convection
How many stages of the water cycle are there?
7
What are ocean gyres?
Circular systems of ocean currents that rotate due to global wind patterns and Earth's rotation. (whirlpool)
What are the three main wind belts?
Polar Easterlies, Westerlies, and Trade Winds
What factors affect surface currents?
Global Winds, Continental Deflection, and Coriolis Effect
This type of heat transfer, transfers heat through electromagnetic waves, doesn't need to touch anything objects, and travels at the speed of light.
Radiation
Transpiration
A curving path of a moving object because of the rotation of the Earth.
Coriolis Effect
What are the names of the calm winds?
Doldrums and Horse Latitudes
What is continental deflection?
What a surface current reaches a new continent and it changes direction and deflects
This type of heat transfer, transfers heat through direct contact. An example of this picking up a hot cup of coffee
Conduction
_______ occurs when water runs over the Earth's surface. This ends up in lakes, rivers, and streams, which leads into oceans.
Run Off
Formed by differences of density caused by temperature and salinity.
Deep Ocean Currents
What are two factors that affect global winds?
DAILY DOUBLE:
What does ocean currents circulate throughout our oceans?
Salt, minerals, nutrients, animals
This type of heat transfer, transfers heat through fluids, occurs by movement in fluids and gasses, and boiling water is an example of it.
Convection
Clouds are made of tiny water drops or ice crystals. When the droplets get heavy enough, they fall to Earth due to gravity. Examples include rain, sleet, and snow.
Precipitation
Wind
Which wind belt is located between 30 and 60 degrees?
Westerlies
A global ocean circulation pattern driven by difference in water temperature and salinity is called.....
Thermohaline Circulation
A person placing their hand over a hot burner is an example of which heat transfer?
Radiation
The sun heats the surface water. Temperature increases causing liquid water to change into a gas known as water vapor.
Evaporation
Acts like a conveyor belts: moving warm and cold water, sending heat toward the polar region and helping the tropical areas cool off.
