Surface currents are caused by the energy of the sun and THIS.
What is global winds.
100
Relative humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air compared to THIS.
What is the amount the air can hold.
100
When air masses of different densities meet, THIS forms which creates changing weather.
What is a front.
100
Thunderstorms begin with THIS which then leads to condensation, then precipitation from downdrafts.
What is rising air.
100
The water cycle is based on changes of state which happen as a result of changing levels of THIS.
What is energy.
200
When an ocean current changes direction due to a landmass being in its way, it's called THIS.
What is continental deflection.
200
An anemometer measures THIS.
What is wind speed.
200
A high pressure system will result in THIS type of weather.
What is clear and nice.
200
Lightning happens because electric energy is discharged between THESE.
What is oppositely charged areas (positive and negative).
200
90% of water in the atmosphere gets there through evaporation, while 10% gets there through THIS.
What is transpiration.
300
The surface current that flows by the eastern U.S. that keeps us warmer is called THIS.
What is the Gulf Stream.
300
Fog and pollution can reduce THIS element of weather.
What is visibility.
300
Climate is primarily determined by THESE two elements. (You must get both to be right).
What is temperature and pressure.
300
Hurricanes can cause great damage due to high winds and storm surge because they form from THIS.
What is warm ocean water.
300
Water moves mainly as a result of THIS process.
What is gravity.
400
Ocean currents can influence the climate of an area by doing THIS.
What is bringing warm or cold water and air.
400
To measure the weather conditions of an area over a long period of time, the best method would be to use THIS type of weather station.
What is stationary.
400
Latitude affects climate because of THIS.
What is the amount of sunlight received.
400
A tornado forms over land when a thunderstorm meets THESE causing the air to spin.
What is horizontal winds.
400
The water cycle is an important part of the Earth's spheres because it allows the hydrosphere and geosphere, and even the biosphere, transfer THIS from place to place, such as sediment, water, and organisms.
What is matter.
500
If a city is on the edge of a large lake, it's temperatures will compare in THIS way to a city in the middle of the country surrounded by land.
What is less extreme.
500
The dew point is when dew is appearing because the amount of evaporation is lower than the amount of THIS.
What is condensation.
500
The Earth is divided into zones based on climate. We are in THIS zone.
What is the temperate.
500
Sink holes and muck fires which are both common in Florida, have THIS in common because they both start here.
What is being under the top layer of the ground.
500
The hydrosphere and the geosphere interact within the water cycle through the processes of run-off and THIS.
