What is atmospheric convection?

Back

The process by which warm air rises and cool air sinks, helping to distribute thermal energy from the Sun throughout the atmosphere.

Front

What causes winds in the atmosphere?

Back

Winds are created due to the uneven heating of the air in the atmosphere, leading to differences in air pressure.

Front

What is the definition of weather?

Back

Weather refers to the day-to-day changes in atmospheric conditions, including temperature, air pressure, humidity, wind, cloud coverage, or precipitation.

Front

Which part of the Earth receives the most direct sunlight?

Back

The equator receives the most direct sunlight, but during different seasons, the Northern or Southern Hemisphere may receive more direct sunlight.

Front

What is climate?

Back

Climate is the long-term average of weather conditions in a particular area over an extended period, typically 30 years or more.

Front

What is the greenhouse effect?

Back

The greenhouse effect is the warming of Earth's surface due to the trapping of heat by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Front

What are seasons?

Back

Seasons are divisions of the year marked by changes in weather, temperature, and daylight, caused by the tilt of Earth's axis and its orbit around the Sun.

Front

What is humidity?

Back

Humidity is the amount of water vapor present in the air, which can affect weather conditions and comfort levels.

Front

What is precipitation?

Back

Precipitation is any form of water, liquid or solid, that falls from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface, including rain, snow, sleet, and hail.

Front

What is air pressure?

Back

Air pressure is the force exerted by the weight of air above a given point, influencing weather patterns and conditions.
