• Distance from sea level

• Prevailing weather patterns for a particular region

What is atmosphere?

• Distance from sea level

• The apparent deflection of moving air, as seen by an observer on Earth, is a result of Earth's rotation.

• The layer of gas surrounding planet Earth; held in place by gravity and composed of a limited number of elements, primarily nitrogen and oxygen

What is atmospheric circulation?

• Distance from sea level

• The large-scale movement of air around Earth

• The apparent deflection of moving air, as seen by an observer on Earth, is a result of Earth's rotation.

What is the coriolis effect?

• Geographic coordinate that specifies the north-south position of a point on Earth's surface

• The apparent deflection of moving air, as seen by an observer on Earth, is a result of Earth's rotation.

• A directional movement of ocean water; surface currents result from steady winds over the ocean surface; deep currents result from density variations due to temperature and salinity differences.

What is regional geography?

• The study of specific regions of Earth

• To spin on an axis; the spinning of Earth on its axis that causes day and night to occur

• Prevailing weather patterns for a particular region
