What process produces “heat” in our Sun? In other words, where does the Sun’s energy come from? ______________________________.

In order for a gas to become a liquid, does it need to need to absorb heat or lose it?

All weather occurs in one layer of the atmosphere. What layer is it? ______________________________.

By what method of transferring heat, does the heat from the Sun reach us on Earth? ______________________________.

It takes 1 calorie to raise 1 gram of water by 1 o C How warm would 200 g of water at 25 o C be after receiving 800 cal of heat? Would 200 g of iron at 25 o C heat up by the same amount if it received the same number of calories?

The Sun’s heat reaches the Earth through radiation. However, the air is mainly heated through contact with the warmed surface of the Earth. Thus, air is mainly heated through which of the 3 methods of transferring heat? ________________________.

Which type of heat transfer is responsible for “driving” the Earth’s plates to move?

Latitude affects the amount of heat received at the Earth’s surface. In general, we can say that as latitude increases [moves toward the poles], the amount of sunlight that heats the surface… (does what?) ___________________________.

Our atmosphere is a collection of different gasses surrounding the Earth. Why is it that these gasses exert a pressure on us? ________________________________

It is 30 o F and a low pressure is in the area. The current dew point is 32 o F … what is the weather like?

Describe how atmospheric pressure changes with elevation/altitude. ___________________________

Describe how temperature changes with elevation/altitude [in the Troposphere]. ________________________________

The process of liquid water changing to a gas is called… ________________________________

When air is heated, it undergoes certain changes. In the following categories, describe the changes that take place when air is heated. Speed of molecules: ___________________________________________ Volume: ___________________________________________ Density: ___________________________________________

Using what you know of temperature and pressure, Describe what the atmospheric pressure will be like at the equator and at the poles. ________________________________

If the temperature outside reaches the “Dew Point” the relative humidity will be… ________________________________

Describe what wind is caused by ________________________________

In terms of pressure, what direction does wind blow? ________________________________

In order for evaporated water (water vapor) to get up into the atmosphere, what must the atmospheric pressure be? ________________________________

How does the Coriolis Effect affect winds in the Northern Hemisphere [include the direction]. ________________________________
