What will you do to prepare for your final exam? Bellwork 6/1 Happy June!!  What do you still need to hand in to finish Weather & Climate on a strong foot? What will you do to prepare for your final exam?

Weather & Climate Final Tuesday June 5th at 12:30 Door locks promptly, don’t be late! Format is similar to unit tests Multiple choice, Diagram labeling, Mini-essays **Any work that you want in the gradebook needs to be turned in to me by the end of class today. Check Infinite Campus, use your class time wisely!**

Today: “What should I be working on?” Check Infinite Campus Work on missing assignments Look over old tests Review guide Practice Questions in Powerpoint format (posted on my website)

In-class review: Grab a whiteboard, marker, and eraser

UNIT 1: The Oceans

Which type of seafloor sediment is formed from remains of living material? Biogenous

Over the past 2 decades (at least) what has been happening to ocean water with regard to pH & CO2? Carbon Dioxide has been increasing, therefore pH has been decreasing (becoming more acidic).

________ is the total amount of solid material dissolved in water. Salinity

Name 2 processes that INCREASE seawater salinity Sea Ice formation Evaporation Run-off from land

Freshwater floating on top of salt water. A river empties fresh water into an ocean basin at a delta. Explain how the fresh and salt water would be layered in the water column. Freshwater floating on top of salt water.

A circular- moving current systems that dominate the surfaces of oceans are called __________. Gyre

UNIT 2: The Atmosphere

In which atmospheric layer do most weather phenomena occur? Troposphere

In which layers does temperature increase with increasing altitude? Stratosphere Thermosphere

List 2 variable components of the atmosphere. Water Vapor Aerosols Ozone

__________ describes radiation that strikes a surface and bounces off at the same angle and with the same magnitude with which it entered. Reflection

Which day will be warmer? Compare the surface temperatures on a July night with cloud cover and July night without cloud cover. Which day will be warmer? The night with clouds.

Which hemisphere has greater temperature variation? Northern! It’s the land hemisphere.

UNIT 3: Moisture, Precipitation and Clouds

A parcel of air has a temperature of 20⁰C and has a 50% relative humidity. How many g/kg of water vapor are in this parcel? 7g/kg

A parcel of air has a temperature of 5⁰C and has 2 A parcel of air has a temperature of 5⁰C and has 2.5g/kg of water vapor. What is the parcel’s relative humidity? 50%

Will this parcel of air sink or rise? A parcel of air is cooling at 10 ⁰C/1000m. The environmental lapse rate is 6 ⁰C /1000m. Will this parcel of air sink or rise? Sink! Parcel is always colder than the environment

A parcel of air has a dry adiabatic rate of 10 ⁰C /1000m and the environmental lapse rate is 12 ⁰C/1000m Rise! Always warmer than its environment!

If a parcel of air is at its “dew point”, what does that mean? Water vapor is condensing

Are surface winds associated with anticylcones converging or diverging?

What kind of weather is associated with an anticylcone? Fair weather

True or false: A cold front moves faster than a warm front?

Which type of front is associated with the most intense weather during a mid-latitude cyclone? Occluded! When the cold front catches up to the warm front

What type of weather is associated with a cold front? Precipitation with great intensity but short duration

Thunderstorms occur in which types of clouds? Cumulonimbus

Unit 5: Climate
