Water Cycle
This process in the water cycle involves water turning into vapor due to heat.
What is Evaporation?
This process removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
What is Photosynthesis?
This contains all the living things on earth.
What is the Biosphere?
This is NOT included in a weather station model.
Anything not included.
What is included?:cloud coverage, atmospheric pressure, wind speed and direction, temperature, and current precipitation.
This describes the hydrosphere.
What is all the water on earth?
This process describes water seeping into the ground
What is infiltration?
This is an example of carbon storage in the lithosphere.
What is...rocks, fossil fuels, magma, minerals?
This layer of the atmosphere is where nearly all weather occurs.
What is the troposphere?
This is the difference between weather and climate.
What is Weather is day-to-day atmospheric conditions; climate is long-term averages?
This describes the long term patterns and averages of weather.
What is climate?
This is the term for water released from plants into the atmosphere.
What is transpiration?
An increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide relate to climate change by causing this...
What is warming/heating/increase in greenhouse effect?
This is the correct order of the atmosphere layers from the surface to space.
What is Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, Exosphere?
This is represented by symbols shaped like triangles on a weather map.
What is a cold front?
True or false:
Moon phases effect climate?
True or false:
Latitude, heat absorbtion, and surface features, the ocean currents, and elevation all effect climate?
What is FALSE!
What is TRUE!
The state of water is referred to as water vapor.
What is a gas?
This Earth's "sphere" includes oceans, lakes, and rivers.
What is the hydrosphere?
This atmospheric layer contains the ozone layer.
What is the Stratosphere?
These are the 4 main types of weather fronts.
What are Warm, cold, occluded, stationary?
This is is a major cause of climate change that has become prominent recently. We are about to DEEP DIVE into this.
What is human activity?
This drives the water cycle.
What is Sunlight?
This human activity is a major source of excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
This is the most abundant gas in the atmosphere.
What is nitrogen?
This weather is associated with low-pressure systems.
What is stormy weather/bad weather?
This compound has the greatest impact on the greenhouse effect.
What is CO2?
This process directly leads to cloud formation.
What is condensation?
This is the role of decomposers in the carbon cycle.
What is to break down organic matter, releasing carbon dioxide?
This is the deflection of winds due to Earth’s rotation.
What is the Coriolos effect?
Thunderstorms and cooler temperatures are usually brought on my this type of front.
What is a cold front.
This is how ocean currents affect climate.
What is by regulate temperatures by distributing heat globally.
