Air moving from high air pressure to low air pressure

How does specific heat affect climate?

Water has a high specific heat -it heats slowly and so will the land

If City A and City B are both on the same latitude, why are the average temperatures different?

City B is near a large body of water

Which of the following statements would be in accordance with the albedo effect?

Surfaces without snow absorb heat and with snow reflect heat

How does latitude affect climate?

The higher the latitude, the lower the temperature.

How does water's high specific heat capacity affect the weather on the coast vs. inland?

Water takes longer to heat & cool, so coastal areas have moderate temps

How does albedo affect climate?

Light-colored materials reflect more sunlight = cool.

1001bm
5
What is the main cause of the seasons?
The revolution of the Earth
The rotation of the Earth
The distance from the Sun
The tilt of the Earth
6
How does specific heat affect climate?
Water has a low specific heat – it heats quickly and so will the land
Water has a low specific heat that causes more rain
Water has a high specific heat -it heats slowly and so will the land
Water has the same specific heat as land
7
If City A and City B are both on the same latitude, why are the average temperatures different?
City A is near a large body of water
City B is far away from water
City A has longer duration of insolation
City B is near a large body of water
8
Looking at this image, where would you expect to have the warmer air?
above the land
there is no way to know
above the water
the air is all the same temperature
9

B
A
10
What season is this diagram showing?
Spring
Fall
Summer
Winter
11
High pressure weather
cold, dry and clear skies
Hot, humid, and cloudy/stormy skies
12
Weather or Climate? "Typically the rainfall in June is less than one inch."
Climate
Weather
13
Which of the following statements would be in accordance with the albedo effect?
Surfaces with and without snow both absorb heat from the sun
Surfaces with and without snow reflect heat from the sun
Surfaces without snow reflect heat
Surfaces without snow absorb heat and with snow reflect heat
14
How does latitude affect climate?
The higher the latitude the less precipitation.
The higher the latitude, the warmer the temperature.
The higher the latitude, the lower the temperature.
The higher the latitude, the more precipitation.
15
Albedo values will be highest during which season?
Winter
Fall
Spring
Summer
16
Which wind belt affects USA?
Trade Winds
Polar easterlies
Westerlies
Great Lake winds
17
Which location is COOLER?
Riyadh
Lviv
18
How does water's high specific heat capacity affect the weather on the coast vs. inland?
It has no effect on coastal areas
Water takes longer to heat & cool, so coastal areas have moderate temps
It makes temperatures on the coast rise & fall more quickly
Inland has less water, so it cools & heats more slowly
19
Ottawa being so cold is a result of what main type of Climate factor?
Ocean currents
Barriers
Elevation
Latitude
20
Which wind belts are correctly identified?
Easterlies - Zones B and E
Westerlies - Zones A and F
Trade winds - Zones b and E
Trade Winds - Zones C and D
21
How does albedo affect climate?
Dark-colored materials reflect more sunlight = cool.
Light-colored materials reflect more sunlight = cool.
Light-colored and dark-colored materials heat up the same.
