TEK 8.10 CA Unit 5 REVIEW - Climate, Weather, and Hurricanes

LOOK AT THE PICTURES BELOW. PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT YOU UNDERSTAND IS HAPPENING IN EACH OF THE PHOTOS BASED ON WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT HOT AND COLD.

• The warm will rise until it cools where it will return back to the warm area, this is called convection currents caused by uneven heating.

• Movement is called Coriolis Force and is caused by uneven heating from the earth’s core and from the sun in relation to the air masses and ocean water.

• The photos illustrate the process of heating and cooling.

• The photos demonstrate the impact of temperature on human activities.

• Geothermal Energy

• Wind

• Ocean Currents

YOU KNOW THAT THE SUN WARMS THE AIR OVER LAND, CAUSING IT TO _________. BASED ON THAT INFORMATION, EXPLAIN WHY THE AIR FLOW IS DIFFERENT FROM DAY TIME TO NIGHT TIME USING THE PICTURE BELOW.

• heat.

  During the day, cool air from the ocean moves to the land, and at night, cool air from the land moves to the ocean.

• heat.

  Explains why the air flow is the same during day time and night time.

• cool.

  Explains why the air over land cools down faster than over water.

• cool.

  During the day, air moves from the land to the ocean, and at night, it moves from the ocean to the land.

DESCRIBE THE MANNER OR WAY THE LIGHT AND HEAT FROM THE SUN HIT THE EARTH BASED ON THE PICTURE BELOW.

• The light and heat from the sun hit the Earth directly at the equator and at an angle at the poles.

• The light and heat from the sun hit the Earth uniformly across all latitudes.

• The light and heat from the sun hit the Earth more intensely at the poles than at the equator.

• The light and heat from the sun do not reach the Earth at the equator.

BASED ON THE PICTURE ABOVE, THE ________ HEATING OF THE EARTH’S SURFACE CAUSES THE WATER TO BE ________ NEAR THE EQUATOR AND ________ THE FARTHER YOU GET AWAY FROM THE EQUATOR.

• constant, cooler, warmer

• uneven, warmer, cooler

• constant, warmer, cooler

• uneven, cooler, warmer

THIS CAUSES THE OCEAN WATER AND AIR IN THE ATMOSPHERE TO circulate, WHAT DO WE CALL THIS MOVEMENT OF HEAT? ____________ CURRENTS

• CONVECTION CURRENTS

• COREALIS

• TIDES

• WINDS

Hurricanes originate from specific areas. Where do they come from, and why?

• The warm waters in the around the equator and Northern part

• The cool waters in the Northern Hemisphere

• The warm tropical waters around the Equator

• The warm waters in the Northern Hemisphere

IN THE FORMATION OF A HURRICANE, WHAT DOES THE OCEAN WATER BEGIN TO DO AS IT GETS REALLY WARM/HOT?

• Evaporate rapidly which fuels the upflow of moist air

• Freeze which all remains still

• Cool down which fuels the upflow of moist air

• Remain still which fuels the upflow of moist air

HURRICANES DON’T FORM NEAR THE NORTH OR SOUTH POLES BECAUSE:

• The water is too cold to sustain them.

• There is not enough water near the poles.

• The air pressure is too high.

• The wind speeds are too low.

WHAT DOES THE WORD “CURRENT” MEAN IN THE PHRASE CONVECTION CURRENT?

• A flow of liquid or gas

• A type of electrical charge

• A stationary object

• A type of solid material
