Surface, Deep Affecting Climate and CM.

Front

How does the jet stream affect local weather?

Back

As the jet stream moves southward, it will bring with it colder temperatures.

Front

Which process is taking place due to heat transfer by convection in a coastal region?

Back

formation of sea breeze

Front

Direction of breeze during the night based on temperature and pressure differences over land and sea.

Back

It flows from land to sea, causing a land breeze.

Front

If an ocean current begins at high latitudes, which statement describes the current?

Back

It is a polar current that carries cold water toward the tropics.

Front

Why does a convection current begin over the equatorial region?

Back

Equatorial latitudes receive more direct sunlight, and this energy is re-radiated from the land as it cools in the form of warmer air, which rises.

Front

How are air temperature, density, and the movement of air related?

Back

Warm air is less dense than cold air, so it rises to create a convection cell.

Front

Conclusion from investigation on Coriolis effect with toilets in both hemispheres draining counterclockwise.

Back

Coriolis effect affects all large, moving masses on Earth’s surface, but the water draining from a toilet is too small and depends on the design.

Front

How are northeast trade winds created?

Back

The Sun’s radiation warms the air at the equator, causing the air to rise, and the rotation of Earth on its axis creates northeast trade winds.

Front

Why are deserts commonly found at 30°S?

Back

Warm, moist air near the equator rises and falls as rain, leaving cool, dry air that cycles and sinks at 30°S.

Front

Which global wind belt influences Buenos Aires, Argentina, at 34° S latitude?

Back

westerlies
