1. 3. In the winter at the beach, warm air over the land rises faster than cold air over the water. This creates a difference in air pressure creating wind. What is this an example of?
Convection

2. 4. In winter, vegetables are grown in greenhouses
4. In winter, vegetables are grown in greenhouses. How do these veggies receive energy?
Through radiation

3. 5. Coastal areas stay cool during the summer when inland temperatures soar. These areas stay moderately warm in winter, even when inland temperatures drop. Why does this happen?
It takes a longer for water to change temperature than land

4. 6. What causes the Coriolis effect?
Rotation of the Earth

5. 7. What forms most ocean waves?
wind

6. 8. Which factor(s) controls surface currents?
Continental Deflection Global Winds The Coriolis Effect

7. 9. Which factor(s) affect the movement of deep currents?
Salinity & Temperature

8. Salinity of the water to increase
10. When ocean water freezes, the dissolved solids in it are squeezed out of the ice and enter the water below the ice, causing the
Salinity of the water to increase

9. 12. Name the changes that are associated with El Nino.
-The location of warm and cool surface waters in the Pacific Ocean changes -The interaction between the ocean and the atmosphere changes -Global weather patterns change

10. 13. Describe a maritime climate.
Warm, wet (humid) air.

11. 14. The amount of humidity that air can hold increases as….
Air temperature increases

12. 15. Describe some characteristics of a hurricane.
Low Pressure systems, spin counterclockwise
Begins as a group of thunderstorms moving over tropical waters
Have a center called an eye
Die in colder water or over land because they begin to lose their source of energy

13. 16. When a cold air mass meets and displaces a warm air mass, what happens?
A Cold front

14. 17. This instrument is used to measure air pressure.
Barometer

15. 18. Which pressure system is associated with clear, sunny weather ?
High pressure systems

16. 19. How do low pressure systems form?
Warm air rises

17. 20. A warm humid air mass from the Gulf of Mexico moved through on Wednesday. Forecasters predict that a cold front from the North will move through on Thursday. What type of weather should we expect?
Thunderstorms followed by cool weather

18. 21. The condition of the atmosphere at a particular time and place is called
weather

19. 22a. Name this symbol. 22b. What type of weather would you expect?
Cold front
Cold, dry air

20. 24. Which part of the water cycle occurs faster due to warmer temperatures?
Evaporation

21. 25a. Name the symbol 25b. What type of weather would you expect?
Warm front
Warm, moist air

22. 26. What is conduction?
Conduction is an energy transfer that occurs when heated molecules come into contact with and actually touch cooler molecules.
Ex: A chunk of steel in a furnace is a great example. The metal is directly touching the heat source and gets extremely hot.

23. 27 b. Explain why it has that weather.
27 a. Describe the weather at each location for this time and the next day.
27 b. Explain why it has that weather. b a

24. Warm, moist air (clouds) and a chance of precipitation Clear, sunnyb a
Warm, moist air (clouds) and a chance of precipitation
Clear, sunny

25. Typical weather as seen for decades is…………
Climate

26. Land or Sea Breeze
Sea

27. 1. Define Absolute Zero
Is equal to 0 Kelvin
Is the lowest temperature possible
Has no kinetic energy

28. 2. How is the temperature of a substance determined?
By how fast the atoms or molecules of the substance are moving.
