Earth is divided into 3 temperature zones: (choose the three that apply)

• Tropical

• Heat

• Polar

• Temperate

• Coal

Location above or below sea level Measured in feet or meters.

Air is less dense at higher altitudes therefore the temperature decreases as altitude increases

• altitude

• Longitude

• Fire

• Ice

Distance from large bodies of water

• Water heats up and cold down more slowly than land

• Major currents circulate warm and cold ocean water between the poles and equator

• The currents circulate ocean water between the poles and the equator but they move in opposite directions

• NONE OF THESE

Ocean currents

• Major currents circulate warm and cold ocean water between the poles and equator

• Heat

• Ice

The main factors that affect the amount of precipitation and area receives are prevailing winds, mountain ranges and seasonal winds

• precipitation and area receives are prevailing winds, mountain ranges and seasonal winds

• Heat

Prevailing winds

• Winds that blow in a specific direction over long distances

• They develop unequal heating of Earth surface

• None

• heat

Mountain ranges (choose the three that apply)

• Mountains and mountain ranges can cast a rain shadow

• As winds rise up a mount. range the air cools and precipitation falls

• On the other side of the range the air is dry and it sinks. So there is very little precipitation on the far side of a mountain range

• heat

seasonal winds

• a seasonal change in wind patterns and precipatation occurs in some parts of the world. This is called a monsoon

• Monsoons are caused by different rates of heating and cooling between ocean and nearby land

• Heat

• ice
