All of the following are true about ENSO EXCEPT
Occurs regularly, every 5 years in Pacific
reduces upwelling and increases rainfall in W. Pacific
prevailing winds in Pacific weaken and change direction
Monsoon season in E. Pacific is reduced & droughts may occur

nitrogen gas
water vapor
9
Climate is determined mostly by

Avg. temp
10
Where are grasslands typically found?
interior of continents
along coastlines
on leeward side of mountain ranges
base of continental divides
11

12
An area's short-term temperature, precipitation, and other conditions
storm patterns
patterns
climate
weather
13
The greenhouse effect is
unnatural heating of the atmosphere by CO2
warming of the troposphere by absorption of heat by GHGs
a changing of earth's climates due to warming air
a natural warming of the stratosphere
14
Sequence that would appear at similar latitude, but decreasing precipitation
Rainforest-tropical grassland-deciduous forest-desert
Deciduous forest-chaparral-grassland-desert
Scrubland-chaparral-coniferous forest-tundra
Desert-Savanna-scrubland-tropical forest
15
Biomes are not uniform due to differences in
climate and soil
temperature and currents
elevation and terrain
latitude and elevation
16
What would happen to the climate if the Gulf Stream were pushed more south towards Africa?
Climate would be colder with snowy winters in England
El Nino years would be more frequent
The U.S. with have more deserts
Africa would have large storms
17
Which of the following is NOT true of permafrost?
Water drenched soil frozen most of the year
Melting has caused soil to sink
Allows for small bogs, lakes, and marshes in summer
It is found in arctic and alpine tundras
18
Terrestrial regions characterized by similar climate, soil and organisms
ecosystems
biomes
communities
continents
19

Sunlight increases & biomes become tropical
24
Which concept can be explained by this data?
El Nino
