Weathering 100 Draw a picture to represent the water cycle. Be sure to list ALL phases.

Weathering Answer Evaporation, Transpiration, Condensation, Transport, Precipitation, Infiltration, Collection

Weathering 200 What is the difference between weathering and erosion?

Weathering Answer Weathering – breaking down of substances by weather Erosion – mass movement of weathered substance

Weathering 300 What are the two main factors of mechanical weathering?

Weathering Answer Temperature And Pressure

Weathering 400 What are the things can cause chemical weathering?

Weathering Answer Water, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, Acid Rain

Weathering 500 What factors influence the rate of weathering?

Weathering Answer Climate, Composition, Surface Area, Topography

Weathering 600 What are the main types of erosion?

Weathering Answer Erosion by Running Water Glacial Erosion Wind Erosion Erosion by Living Things

Meteorology 100 What angle is the Earth tilted at? What is this relative to?

Meteorology Answer 23.5 degrees Relative to the line normal to the path of the Earth around the sun

Meteorology 200 What are the two reasons the Earth’s tilt causes different weather in different locations?

Meteorology Answer 1. Intensity of the Sun 2. Atmospheric Absorption

Meteorology 300 What is an air mass and where does it get its characteristics from?

Meteorology Answer A mass of air above the surface of the Earth. Gets its characteristics from the source region (the region it was created over)

Meteorology 400 What are the four types of air masses? What type is over NSAA?

Meteorology Answer Continental tropical Continental polar Maritime tropical Maritime Polar

Meteorology 500 What is a front? What are the four types?

Meteorology Answer Front – barrier between two air masses Cold, Warm, Stationary, Ocluded

Meteorology 600 What is wind? What causes wind to occur?

Meteorology Answer Wind – Mass movement of particles caused by pressure differences

Storms 100 What is the Coriolis Effect?

Storms Answer Phenomena caused by the rotation of the Earth. Forces objects to be deflected from original path.

Storms 200 What is the Dopplar Effect? How does it help us predict weather?

Storms Answer Doppler Effect – change in pitch and volume of sound as it moves towards or away from an observer Helps predict weather by sending out wave and recording information from when it returns

Storms 300 What are the two types of thunderstorms? Which seems to last longer to those on the ground? Why?

Storms Answer Air Mass Thunderstorm Frontal Thunderstorm Air Mass seems to last longer because it does not move

Storms 400 How is a tornado formed?

Storms Answer A thunderstorm creates huge winds. Horizontal row of rotating wind formed. Updraft lifts this rotating wind vertical.

Storms 500 What are the stages of a thunderstorm?

Storms Answer Cumulus Mature Dissipation

Storms 600 Describe the formation of lightening.

Storms Answer Cloud Charges Separate Causes charges to separate in ground Air ionized Step Leader Streamer Negative Charge moves toward ground

Moon 100 Describe the moons rotation around the Earth.

Moon Answer Moon has an elliptical path similar to the way the Earth orbits around the sun

Moon 200 What is a solstice? What is the difference between the summer and winter soltice?

Moon Answers Summer solstice: point at which the sun is at maximum altitude Winter solstice: point at which sun is at minimum altitude

Moon 300 What is an equinox?

Moon Answer Point at which the sun is directly above the Earth’s equator.

Moon 400 What is a solar eclipse?

Moon Answer When the moon passes directly between the Sun and Earth and blocks our view of the sun

Moon 500 What is a lunar eclipse?

Moon Answer When the Moon passes through the Earth’s shadow

Moon 600 What are the phases of the Moon?

Moon Answer New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Third Quarter, Waning Crescent, New Moon

Grab Bag 100 Explain why hot air rises

Grab Bag Answer Particles are spread out more and less dense

Grab Bag 200 What is an updraft? What causes it?

Grab Bag Answer In a thunderstorm, warm air rising up. Caused by heating of air by Earth’s surface.

Grab Bag 300 Can a tornado happen without a thunderstorm? Why?

Grab Bag Answer No. Winds, updrafts and downdrafts, are created during the thunderstorm.

Grab Bag 400 What is ionization?

Grab Bag Answer Separation of negative charge from positive charge.

Grab Bag 500 Can lightning strike in the same place twice? Why or why not?

Grab Bag Answer ……

Grab Bag 600 How is pressure related to temperature?

Grab Bag Answer ……… P α T as P goes up, so does T And visa versa
