what would you expect to find in the lithosphere?
asteroids
ships
smog
earthquakes
earthquakes are the result of which of the following...
changing air pressure in the earths atmosphere
shifting of plates in the lithosphere
softening of mantle rock on the earths surface
erosion along the coastline
What is latitude?
distance north or south of the Equator, measured in degrees.
is a geographic coordinate that specifies the east–west position of a point on the Earth's surface
weather
measures wind speed
the pressure caused by the weight of a column of air pushing down on an area
day-to-day changes in atmospheric conditions, including temperature, air pressure, humidity, wind, cloud coverage, or precipitation
the process by which molecules of water vapor in the air become liquid water
climate
day-to-day changes in atmospheric conditions, including temperature, air pressure, humidity, wind, cloud coverage, or precipitation
moisture in the air
measures air pressure
long-term average of weather in an area
water cycle
circles of water on the floor made by the rain
the continual movement of water among Earth's atmosphere, oceans, and land surface through evaporation, condensation, and precipitation
hot lava coming out of the volcanos
the rock cycle is very important
precipitation
only the rain from the summer
the snow accumulation in January
moisture in the air
any form of water that falls from clouds and reaches Earth's surface
evaporation
the process by which water molecules in liquid water escape into the air as water vapor
warmer air; light and steady precipitation; move southwest to northeast
any form of water that falls from clouds and reaches Earth's surface
vaporization
condensation
the process by which water molecules in liquid water escape into the air as water vapor
moisture in the air
large body of air with the same temperature and humidity
the process by which molecules of water vapor in the air become liquid water
How does Latitude impact climate?
The higher the latitude, the colder the climate
The higher the latitude, the warmer the climate
Latitude does not impact climate, longitude does
The north latitudes are cold, the mid latitudes are warm, and the south latitudes are hot
What is elevation?
A song by U2
the measurement for air pressure
unequal heating of Earth's surface
The distance above sea level
How do the ocean currents impact climate?
The water temperature affects continental climates
The air follows the water currents, so it can pull warm or cold air away from continents
Ocean currents have no effect on climate
Cool ocean currents create warm climates, while warm currents create cold climates
What is responsible for creating the different seasons in the midlatitudes?
The rotation of the Earth
The revolution of the Earth around the sun
The tilt of the Earth
The tilt of the Earth in relation to the Sun
