1
How does LATITUDE affect climate?
More energy from the sun reaches the north and south poles
Latitude doesn't effect how much energy hits the earth
The higher the latitude you go the less energy from the sun
Less sun energy at lower latitudes nearer the equator
2
The tilt of the Earth
All of the above
gives the Earth night and day
gives the weather seasonal changes
has a 23 degree tilt on its axis
3
As height increases, what happens to air pressure?
decreases
stays the same
increases
4
Air with a relative humidity of 100 percent is said to be....
True Humidity
Transpiration
Saturated
Full
5
Relative humidity
ratio of mass of water vapor in the air at a temp To the max it can hold
The moisture content of air
The process by which certain gases trap heat that radiates from the earth
The mass of water vapor contained in a certain volume of air
6
What is Climate ?
