BLERT : Transform Plate Boundaries are plates that slide next or past each other in opposite directions along a fracture often causing earthquakes.

BLERT: Characteristics of a watershed are area, length, slope, soil, vegetation type, and divides.

BLERT : Chemical Weathering is the change in chemical composition of mineral compounds: carbonation, hydrolysis, oxidation.

BLERT : E Horizon = light colored mineral particles. Zone of eluviation and leaching.

BLERT : El Niño suppresses the normal upwellings of cold, nutrient-rich water.

BLERT : El Niño makes western Pacific warmer waters move toward S.A.

BLERT : El Niño creates prevailing tropical trade winds (E🡪W) weaken or reverse direction.

BLERT : Upwelling is the upward movement of ocean water.

BLERT : Global air circulation, ocean currents, and angle of sun's rays is what determines climate patterns.

BLERT : Four properties to determine air circulation patterns are air density, water vapor capacity, adiabatic heating/cooling, and latent heat release.
