Quiz for Science Q3, Unit X

The Antarctic circle is located how many degrees away from the equator?

What warm air river the water rises and is replaced by cooler, denser air, from the land creating an offshore wind

Which of these IS a factor that affects climate?

Which here are factors that affect the density of water?

Elliot Ludwig, in 1889, verified Humboldt's observation

Is a tool used to measure the amount of aerosol in the atmosphere or to determine he height of the base of a cloud

Tidal waves, Wind power, Density Differences are the three main process that make the ocean circulate

Saltier water is denser than less salty water

Is Climate change regarded as the greatest issue humans face?

Global Ocean Conveyor is also called Thermohaline Circulation.

What factor does this describe: This deflects moving air to the right of its initial direction (NH) and vice versa (SH)

Water has three phases: Liquid, Gaseous, and Frozen

Bodies of water have a damping effect on the swing of temperatures of costal areas.

Which here are the Earths major oceans

The warm air over the land rising, the cooler air over the ocean is flowing over the land surface to replace warm air

Altitude affects temperature yet not pressure

_________ describes a region's log-term weather trend.

The Prevailing Wind is the most frequent wind direction a location experiences.

In this climatic zone, the weather condition is considered humid, but sometimes the temperature gets high :<

Thermohaline circulation is the overturning circulation.

Air pressure gradient or the difference between regions of high and land pressure creates WIND

This climatic zone does not experience both extreme heat and precipitation.

For every 100-meter rise in altitude, temperature decreases by 3^o C

Warm water is less dense than cold water

Water gets warmer when it loses its heat to the atmospheres rate of evaporation

The bodies of water stores this heat during warm periods and release them during cold periods, they are called

Water gets less saltier if there is an influx of fresh water

What geographic coordinate provides the north-south position of a point on the earths surface?

"Thermohaline" is derived from (a) which means temperature and (b) which means salt content

Equatorial, Temperate Continental, and Hot deserts are the three distinctive temperate climates

About 71% of earth is covered by water

Two circulation types of ocean currents: Forced by wind stress on the sea surface including a momentum exchange

Are you ready?

As altitude rises, the corresponding temperature of air also rises

Ocean water moves mainly because of differences in relative density

This is one of the factors that affect the climate as it affects the regions temperature and precipitation

On planet Earth or Terra, climate change is constant.

Arctic, Tropic, and Temperate are the general climatic zones with respect to its latitude

This is one of the two types of temperate climate: Is strongly affected by the oceans and has fairly steady temperatures

In this climatic zone, there is extreme winter, it is 66.5^o north of the equator, the sea freezes. and during summer.

Above the atmospheric boundary where friction is negligible, the pressure gradient and the Coriolis F are in balance.

There are two factors that greatly influence wind speed and direction: These are the Coriolis force and friction

This refers to the shape of the lands surface

The Tropic of Capricorn is 24^o north of the equator

Proximity to water is one of the factors that affect climate :>

This is one of the two types of temperate climate: "Increases in land and is known by warmer summers and colder winters

In the 19th century, _______ noted a unique relationship between regions altitude and plant life
