The Atmosphere (11)

The earth's axis is the reason for earth rotating:

Force which deflects winds due to the Earth's rotation.

Once earth is heated, the heat energy is transferred into the:

Side of mountain where winds descend and warm up.

The path the earth travels around the sun is known as:

Dry adiabatic lapse rate:

Major winds that blow throughout the year.

Cold ocean currents move from_______to_______:

In the southern hemisphere, the summer solstice occurs:

Descending air moves outwards from a high pressure area and ______occurs.

This area of the earth received direct sunlight.

In winter, the southern hemisphere has longer days and shorter nights

The pressure cell that occurs between 30 and 60 degrees north and south of the equator.

How is the Earth heated?

There are four main types of air masses.

what pressure occurs between a Hadley and ferrel cell?

When air moves together, it is known as:

If you're in the northern hemisphere during June/ July, you will experience:

Due to air and water moving, they are able to transfer heat energy from one area to another.

The insolation is not unequal over the Earth's surface.

The movement of Earth in an orbit around the sun:

When air converges and ascends, what is formed on earth's surface?

Which of the following is not a winds?

Seasonal wind that blows in tropical regions.

What happens to temperatures when you move southwards or northwards?

Insolation depends on two factors:

Maritime climate:

The weight of the atmosphere on the surface of the earth.

Climate change brought about by warmers conditions in the Pacific ocean.

The Benguela current is found on the_______ of Africa:

Generally, moving air is known as:

Breeze that occurs when wind blows from the land to the sea:

The earth is tilted at:

The pressure belt by the equator is known as:

Air moves from a:
