Prevailing Easterlies

movement of weather across the US and Canada

when a tornado comes and eats people

when a hurricane floods a state

Where does most of the energy on earth's surface come from?

electromagnetic radiation from the sun.

What are 2 things electromagnetic waves do?

Electromagnetic waves either absorb or reflect

they send the aliens are location

Increasing the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere does what?

increases the amount of heat that's absorbed and can influence a change in climate that is less comfortable for many of Earth's species.

it decreases the temperature to make it cooler and the climate change does nit change

Heat is a measure of particle movement,

Heat is the measure of temperature

What is thermal energy?

thermal energy is the total motion in the particles of a substance.

thermal energy is heat from a campfire

thermal energy is when everything bumps together

thermal energy is when ice powers everything.

Heat flows away from hotter objects and toward cold objects

heat flows away from cooler objects to hotter objects

Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy between particles of matter that are touching .

conduction is the circular motion of gases

it is waves of energy from the sun

What does air move from?

Air is always moving from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure

air is moving high to high pressure

air is moving from low to low pressure

air is always moving from low pressure to high pressure

Wind is the movement of air between pressure differences

wind is the movement in temperature differences

What does air movement create

This movement creates convection cells in Earth's atmosphere

This movement creates conduction cells in Earth's atmosphere

This movement creates radiation cells in Earth's atmosphere

What happens to a beach during the day?

During the day the land absorbs radiation and creates warm air, which rises, causing a breeze toward the low-pressure area

During the day the land absorbs no radiation and creates cold air which falls causing a breeze towards the high-pressure area

What happens to the beach during the evening

During the evening, the land cools off more quickly than the sea and the chilly, dense air creates a high-pressure area, blowing a breeze toward the low-pressure area on the sea.

During the evening, the land gets hotter slower than the sea and the hot, dense air creates a low-pressure area, blowing a breeze to a high-pressure area on the sea

What happens to the areas where Earth gets the most direct sunlight

the air heats, rises, and moves toward cooler areas

the air cools, falls, and moves toward hotter areas

Which way do the winds NOT blow?

These winds do not blow straight N-S because of Earth's rotation and the Coriolis effect

These winds do not blow straight W-E because of Earth's rotation and the Coriolis effect

What does the angle of earth's rotation create?

The angle of Earth's rotation creates wind belts centered on the equator

The angle of Earth's rotation creates temperature belts centered on the equator

What do the Tropic of Cancer, and the Tropic of Capricorn generate?

These wind belts generate the jet streams in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

These wind belts generate the jet streams in the eastern and western hemispheres

What do Ocean currents in the shallow and deep ocean transfer?

Ocean currents in the shallow and deep ocean transfer heat and energy through Earth's oceans

Ocean currents in the shallow and deep ocean transfer a phase of matter

Ocean currents in the shallow and deep ocean transfer thermal radiation

Surface currents are driven by what?

Surface currents are driven by global winds and follow circular wind patterns

Surface currents are driven by global winds and follow heat wind patterns

Surface currents are driven by global winds and follow triangle wind patterns

Surface currents are driven by global winds and follow square wind patterns

Surface currents are generated in a...

similar way to air convection currents

similar way to air conduction currents

similar way to air radiation currents

Large currents carrying warm water influence the climate where they flow because the

warm water radiates heat and cool water cools the air above it

cool water conducts cold and warm water heats the air above it
