If temperature and pressure are constant, density of any substance, regardless of size is the same.
As pressure increase on a solid or gas, density increases.
As temperature of matter increases, its density decreases.
The Earth rotates at a rate of 15° per hour. 24 hours
Energy moves from source to sink. (High to Low) (High Heat) Sink (Low Heat)
Seasonal/ Daily Temperature lags cause the maximum air temperatures to follow maximum angle/ duration of insolation. * Water has a higher specific heat then air
Forms of Energy Transfer
Warm currents warm the air in the upper latitudes Warm currents warm the air in the upper latitudes. Cool currents cool the air in lower latitudes.
