Wind & Water Movement
The Sun heats up the Earth hotter at the _________________ and cooler at the _____________________.
What is: Equator?
What is: Poles?
When clouds reach a certain point at 100% humidity, what force causes them to precipitate?
When air masses collide?
What is: Air Front?
Weather tool that measures temperature
What is: Thermometer?
The conditions of the atmosphere at a certain time and place. Short term & changes quickly.
What is: Weather?
The sun heats up the Earth unevenly due to the roundness of the planet. This uneven heating of the earth causes a circular large-scale movement of air and rising and falling of temperatures.
What is: Convention Cell Cycle?
The energy source that drives all weather through radiation. It is also responsible for an increase of thermal energy heating up water molecules to start evaporation.
What is: The Sun?
What air mass most likely forms in warm climates over water?
What is: Maritime Tropical?
The weather tool that measures air pressure
What is: Barometer?
The layer of the atmosphere that all weather take place
What is: Troposphere?
What are 2 factors that make water LESS dense?
What is: Freshwater & warm water
What is: Transpiration?
What air mass develops because of Cold air over water?
What is: Maritime Polar?
The weather tool that measures humidity & Moisture in the air?
What is: Hygrometer?
The variable that you are measuring in the experiment. This is located on the Y-axis of a graph.
Dependent Variable
Because of the Earth's tilt and rotation, wind and water appear to move at a curve. This is known as___________________
In the Southern Hem Wind & Water move:___________
In the Northern Hem Wind & Water Move:
___________________
What is: Coriolis Effect?
What is: Counter Clockwise?
What is: Clockwise?
1. What is the process of turning liquid water into water vapor?
2. What causes liquid water to turn into water vapor more quickly?
1. What is: Evaporation?
2. What is: Increase of thermal energy?
An air front that does not have enough force to pass each other, bringing many days of rain.
What is: Stationary Front?
What is an anemometer use to measure?
What is: Wind Speed?
These types of clouds are very long, puffy, and are dark with rain.
What is: Stratoculumulonimbus?
Due to the earth's tilt and rotation, wind & water move in the same direction. but different _____________? This is because of ___________.
Air pressure moving from high to low is called_______?
What is: Angles?
What is: Friction?
What is: Wind?
A decrease of thermal energy causes the cooling of water vapor and air molecules in the troposphere. What stage of the water cycle is this and what does it create?
What is: Condensation & Clouds
What air mass develops in places with very little moisture in areas like Antarctica?
What is: Continental Polar?
Draw a warm front moving east on the US.
B->
The 2 causes for no precipitation on windward sides mountains or lakes while there is much precipitation on leeward sides of mountains or lakes.
What is: Rain Shadow Effect & Lake Effect Snow
