Wind

Air that is cooling down does all the following except

• makes the air more dense

• makes the air have higher pressure

• makes the molecules spread apart

• makes the molecules move slower

Which zones in the map are most likely to have very cold climates? Pick 2

• 2

• 1

• 6

• 3

• 4

What is the main reason that the poles do not have a warm temperature? (pick the best answer)

• The tilt of the earth on is axis causes more sunlight to reach the poles

• The sunlight coming at the equator hits at an angle.

• The equator receives the most sunlight due to the shape of the earth while the poles don't receive much due to the tilt of the Earth on its axis.

• The penguins like it cold

Transfer of heat from the Sun through waves into the atmosphere and Earths surface is

• Atmospheric Conduction

• Atmospheric Radiation

• Atmospheric Convection

Atmospheric Conduction is

• the transfer of heat from the Earth's surface to the air molecules directly touching about it

• Transfer of heat from the Sun through waves into the atmosphere and Earths surface is

• the transfer of heat through the atmospheric wind

Differences in air pressure are caused by

• higher pressure

• the moon

• uneven heating of the earths surface

• convection cells

Wind is created due to (pick two)

• gravity

• differences in pressure flowing from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure

• the Coriolis effect

• the uneven heating of the Earth's surface

What is a convection current?

• the electromagnetic waves when standing near a fire

• the movement of a solid molecule when it is hot

• the movement of a fluid where warmer molecules rise and cooler molecules sink

• is less dense then electromagnetic rays

How loosely packed together molecules of a substance are means that

• it is more dense

• it is wind

• it air pressure

• it is less dense

Define air pressure

• the movement of a fluid where warmer molecules rise and cooler molecules sink.

• it is caused y the uneven heating of the Earths surface or differences in air pressure flowing from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.

• the measure of the force with which air molecules push on a surface

• how tightly packed together molecules of a substance are
