what affects climate?
climate zones
100
Mountains force cold fronts up causing rain.
How do mountains affect climate?
100
water vapor that condenses near Earth's surface.
What is fog
100
long distant winds that travel above global winds for thousands of kilometers
What is a jet stream
100
farther away from the equator makes there less sunlight and colder atmosphere.
how does latitude affect climate
100
a low temperature climate zone
What is a polar climate zone
200
causing air pollution which causes the green house effect, heating Earth's atmosphere.
How do large power plants affect climate
200
a cloud
What is a collection of small water droplets or ice crystals that is suspended/condensed in the air
200
a warm front
What is it called when warm air pushes up above cold air
200
describes weather conditions in specific areas over a long period of time.
What is climate
200
a climate zone with an average temperature of below 18*C and 10*C
What is a temperate climate zone
300
Mountains are high in the air with elevation which makes the air much colder.
How do mountains affect climate
300
by heating up Earth's surface to evaporate water to the atmosphere.
How does solar energy cause rain?
300
when a cold air mass pushes up warmer air.
What is a cold front
300
tropical, temperate, and polar
What are the three major climate zones
300
what is the name of features of a surface area
What is topography
400
When warm water from the equator goes to other parts of the ocean.
what is an ocean current
400
cold air condenses water from a gas to a liquid forming clouds
How does cold air affect clouds
400
when cold and warm air masses don't have enough wind, causing days of unchanged weather.
What is a stationary front
400
every kilometer higher, the temperature raises by 11.7*F.
how does elevation affect climate
500
Ocean currents help stabilize climates
How do ocean currents affect climate
500
higher elevation of clouds make ice crystals
how does elevation affect clouds
500
when in even air pressures cause movement in the air.
What is wind
500
the hottest climate zone
What is the tropic climate zone
500
the sun heats up earth's surface unevenly causing differences in temperature which causes wind
How does sun cause wind
