c. tropical, temperate, polar
UV rays come into the atmosphere and get trapped by gases in the atmosphere. It heats up the planet like a greenhouse or a blanket. Without this our planet would not be warm enough for life.
Air pressure
b. The stratosphere...the 2nd layer from Earth's surface
Wind speed
a the temperature at which air is saturated with water; it then falls out of hte air and forms dew on plants
Since the ozone layer is thinner in these areas, more UV heat is let into our Atmosphere and our overall temperatures rise.
The North and South Poles
Polar
a.average temperatures, average rainfall, and latitudes
b. temperature
C. The amount of moisture in the air
Tropical
Rain, Sleet, snow, Hail
Temperate
Temperature
c. from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure (remember there are too many particles in a crowded party)
Relative humidity
UV
Wind direction
The measurement of the average kinetic energy of a substance is a. thermal energy b. temperature c. heat d. radiation
approximately 23.5 degrees to 66.5 degrees latitude both north and south of the equator. Rainfall occurs year-round closer to the equator. Average temperatures range from 41 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit yearly.
What are the 3 main types of climates?
Humidity is the measurement of a. moisture in the ocean b. heat in the desert c.moisture in the air d.amount of precipitation in one day
What is dew point? a. the temperature air is saturated with water b. the amount of moisture a blade of grass can hold c. the temperature at which water starts evaporating d. the point at which smow falls
Wind is causes by differences in air pressure. Air moves a. from an area of hot to an area of cold. b. from high altitude to low altitude c. from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure d from areas of low pressure to areas to high pressure
What is one reason why the North and South Pole ice sheets have started melting at rapid rates?
Average yearly temperatures are below freezing, or 32 degrees Fahrenheit. They get up to 10 inches of precipitation yearly, making the area very dry.
What does a wind vane measure?
The ozone hole refers to an area on Earth where the ozone layer is thinner than other places. Where is the ozone hole the greatest on Earth?
What does a barometer measure?
What does a psychrometer measure?
Name 3 forms of precipitation.
What is the greenhouse effect?
What layer of the atmosphere is the Ozone Layer found? a.troposphere b.stratosphere c.thermosphere d.mesosphere
The ozone layer protects us from harmful ______ rays that come from the sun.
The 3 main types of climate zones are identified by a.average temperatures, average rainfall, and latitudes b. one day's temperature, one day's rainfall and topography c.type of animals living there d.types of plants living there
What does an anemometer measure?
from the Tropic of Capricorn, located at 23.5 degrees south latitude, to the Tropic of Cancer, located at 23.5 degrees north latitude. emperatures remain above 64 degrees Fahrenheit year-round. Temperatures, during the day, can exceed 95 degrees Fahrenheit.
