Practice Flashcard: FOSS Weather and Water Inv. 3-4

Front

What happens to temperature as you move closer to the equator?

Back

The closer to the equator, the warmer the temperatures.

Front

Why do some substances float on water?

Back

They are less dense than water.

Front

What is the formula for density?

Back

Density = mass / volume.

Front

Which line of latitude receives the most direct sunlight?

Back

0 degrees at the equator.

Front

Put the liquids in order from most dense to least dense: 4, 3, 2, 1.

Back

4, 3, 2, 1.

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume.

Front

What is the relationship between density and buoyancy?

Back

An object will float if it is less dense than the fluid it is in.

Front

What is the significance of the equator in terms of sunlight?

Back

The equator receives the most direct sunlight throughout the year.

Front

How does latitude affect climate?

Back

As latitude increases, temperatures generally decrease.

Front

What is the effect of temperature on water density?

Back

As temperature increases, water density decreases.
