Questions 21

Answers

1
A global wind is a
mesothermic event in nature
large scale pattern of air circulation in the atmosphere.
creation of the crests of mountains and geological features
function of the gravitational force of the moon
2
Thermal Conduction is
transfer of heat and cold through the water cycle.
radioactive cosmic rays hitting the Earth
caused by the density of the atmosphere.
transfer of thermal energy through material.
3
why does warm air rise and cold air sink?
because warm air is less dense
warm air has less pressure
warm air is denser than cold air
cold air is less dense
4
The Jet Stream is not/does not
reaches maximum speeds of 400/km
found in the troposphere and stratosphere
a narrow belt of high speed wind
found in the exosphere
5
The Greenhouse effect is caused by
Massive cold war Soviet thermal structures
water vapor and carbon dioxide
humans use of electromagnetic devices
radiation leaking from nuclear power plants

The most atmospheric mass is contained by the
Mesosphere
Troposphere
Ozone Layer
Thermosphere

chlorofluorocarbon
8
The horse latitudes are not
30° North and 30° South
are the native birth lands of most of the world's horses
are some of the driest part of the Earth

9
Air pressure is the measure of
the convection currents of the sun and land
force with which air molecules are pushed ona surface.
the shear force which stands for SF=AP
