Worksheet time: 8mins
What are the long term weather conditions for a given area?
Air pressure
Climate
Seasons
Coriolis Effect
Which BEST describes the movement of warm and cold air in Convection Cells on Earth?
Cold air will rise in the atmosphere and warm air sinks
Warm air will rise in the atmosphere and the cold air sinks
The cold and warm air will both behave the same.
Convection cells only occur in liquids like water
Which of the following BEST describes density?
Density is a measurement of the movement of particles in a substance
Density describes the amount of salt in a substance
How much thermal energy a substance can hold
How closely packed together the particles are in a substance
What happens to cool air at the poles of our planet?
It sinks and forms clouds
It sinks and is very dry
It rises and forms clouds
It rises and is very dry
Imagine you live in the Southern Hemisphere and it is winter time. What season is it in the Northern Hemisphere?
Fall
Winter
Spring
Summer
What is the relationship between altitude and temperature in our atmosphere?
The higher your altitude, the higher the temperature
The lower your altitude, the lower the temperature
The higher your altitude, the lower the temperature
Temperature and altitude are independent of each other
Which BEST describes the Coriolis Effect
The process where water changes from a gas state (water vapor) to a liquid
Winds that blow from a dominant direction over Earth’s surface
Earth's rotation causes currents of water to curve
How much energy it takes to raise the temperature of a substance
Based on your Lesson 5 Global Wind Diagram Model in your science notebook, describe the regional climate at 30 degrees South Latitude.
Hot and Wet
Cool and Wet
Warm and Dry
Straight up Cold
Based on the 8.5 Lesson 5 Connect, Regional Climates Model in your science notebook, what prevailing wind affects the climate of the East Coast of the USA
Tradewinds
Prevailing winds
Convection winds
Westerlies
True or False. The prevailing winds on planet Earth move in the same direction in both Hemispheres.
True
False
In a continental climate region you would experience
A great variety of temperatures throughout the year with little rain.
Little variety in temperature throughout the year and a lot of rain.
A cool and dry climate all year.
A hot and wet climate all year.
Which would you expect to absorb and release energy at the slowest rate.
Plasma
Air
Sand
Water
Examine the Climograph above. What information does the red line represent?
the amount precipitation throughout the year
the range of temperatures throughout the year
Examine the Climograph above. Based on this information, you would expect:
a large variation of temperature throughout the year and very wet conditions
little variation of temperature throughout the year and very wet conditions
a large variation of temperature throughout the year and dry conditions
little variation of temperature throughout the year and dry conditions
Refer to the Climograph above. Based on this information we would expect:
a large variation of temperature throughout the year and wet conditions
a large variation of temperature throughout the year and dry conditions
little variation of temperature throughout the year and wet conditions
little variation of temperature throughout the year and dry conditions
