Does the rotation of the earth cause the wind to curve?
True, yes
Cool, dense air sinks to Earth's surface and spreads out. Warm, less dense air rises. This warm air eventually cools, becomes dense and sinks again. This movement is called:
Convection
When water changes from liquid to gas this is called?
Evaporation
Rain, sleet, hail, and snow are all types of?
Precipitation
What is the powerhouse of a cell?
Mitochondria
When water changes from a gas to a liquid this is called?
Condensation or Condensing
Convection occurs in what states of matter?
Liquids and Gasses
True or False? Convection can happen on a large or small scale
True
The sun warms the earth's surface with what type of thermal energy?
Radiation
What is the "brain" of the cell and holds the DNA?
The nucleus
The curving of winds, due to Earth's rotation, is called:
The Coriolis Effect
What direction does the earth rotate?
counter clockwise
The movement of air from high pressure to low pressure is called?
Wind
The earth warms the air via what type of thermal energy?
Conduction
What is a qualitative observation about Mr. Lewis
tall, ugly, brown hair, etc
The water vapor in the air, measured as a percent, is?
Relative Humidity
What degree latitude is the equator? What degree is the North Pole?
0 degrees and 90 degrees
How long do we measure the average weather before we call it climate?
30 years
True or False: The Coriolis Effect has no effect on ocean currents
False
What is the longest bone in the human body?
