Atmosphere

Air current that brings the weather to North America and Canada

• polar easterlies
• prevailing westerlies
• trade winds
• doldrums

Coriolis effect

• caused by Earth's rotation
• caused by Earth's revolution
• caused by Earth's tilt
• caused by Earth's winds

Some Solar radiation doesn't reach Earth because _____

If  you shine a light on an object - what transfer of energy does that model?

• conduction
• convection
• radiation
• emission

Convection

• transfer of heat by flow

• transfer of energy by waves and rays
• transfer of energy by wind

Doldrums

• create trade winds
• create weather in North America
• windless zone
• very cold zone

Cool air sinks and created a zone of high pressure

• doldrums
• prevailing westerlies
• polar easterlies
• trade winds
