‘The higher the latitude, the lower the temperature.’ True or false?
True
False
‘Latitude is the most important factor affecting temperature’. True or false?
True
False
‘Temperature increases with altitude’. True or false?
True
False
Why does temperature increase with altitude?
Because the higher up the atmosphere you go, the further you are from the earth’s surface that radiates heat.
Because the higher up the atmosphere you go, the closer you are to the sun.
‘The annual temperature range of coastal areas are smaller than those of places inland’. True or false?
True
False
The annual temperature range of coastal areas are smaller than those of places inland’. This is known as the continental effect.
True
False
Clouds at night prevent heat radiating from the earth’s surface from escaping. The earth’s surface is thus kept warm at night.
True
False
The diurnal temperature range refers to:
The difference between the minimum and maximum temperatures of a year
The difference between day and night temperatures
"Diurnal temperature range decreases with increasing cloud cover." True or False
True
False
Which is a factor that affects the temperature of a location?
Rain Cover
Latitude
Attitude
Distance From Mountain
Why is the Maritime climate less severe than climates found in the interior parts of the continent?
The Maritimes have more mountains
The Maritimes influenced by the oceans next to them
The Maritimes receive less sunlight
The Maritimes receive more snow
Why is it called Continental climate?
It's found on the interior parts of continents
It's found near the ocean
It's named after the person who discovered it
What is climate?
The predicted forecast of the day
The types of clouds in the sky
The plants and animals in an area
The weather over a long period of time
A coastal breeze blowing at night from land to sea, caused by the difference in the rate of cooling of their respective surfaces.
Land Breeze
Sea Breeze
Night Breeze
Day Breeze
A sea breeze describes a wind that blows from the ocean inland towards land, as a result of the greater temperature differences between the ocean and nearby land. Particularly in the afternoon when the land is at maximum heating from the sun.
Land Breeze
Sea Breeze
Night Breeze
Day Breeze
As a result of higher temperatures, in a ________ air mass, air molecules spread out and take up more space.
cold
warm
True or False
Although the sun is the source of energy for heating the atmosphere, it is mainly the Earth that heats the atmosphere, through means of terrestrial radiation.
True
False
Air moves from ___________ pressure to _____________ pressure.
High, Low
Low, High
Low, Low
High, High
__________ Facing slopes receive oblique sunlight and are colder.
North
South
East
West
Places along the coast don’t experience major differences between their highest and lowest temperatures.
Maritime Climate
Continental Climate
Places inland experience vast differences between their minimum (night) and maximum (day) temperatures.
Maritime Climate
Continental Climate
The rate at which a saturated parcel of air warms or cools when it moves vertically.
Wet Adiabatic Lapse Rate
Dry Adiabatic Lapse Rate
The rate of decrease of temperature with altitude in the stationary atmosphere at a given time and location.
Wet Adiabatic Lapse Rate
Dry Adiabatic Lapse Rate
Environmental Lapse Rate
The elevation above the surface where condensation begins is called ____________________.
Condensation level
Cloud Level
An increase or decrease of air by 1 degree Celsius for every 100m is known as the _____________.
Dry Adiabatic Lapse Rate
Wet Adiabatic Lapse Rate
