Vocab #1 Vocab #2 True/False Inquiry Essay
100
What is precipitation
Rain, snow, hail, and sleet are all types of this
100
What is ocean current
A continuous moving stream of water of similar temperature and density
100
False -front is where two air masses meet
A front is the boundary where two ocean currents meet
100
What is a warm front
Name this front where warm arm meets cold air
100
Sunscreen reflects ultraviolet radiation away from your sin, it absorbs it before it reaches your skin and forms a barrier.
How does suncreen prevent ultraviolet radiation from burning your skin?
200
What is a tornado
A funnel-shaped cloud with rapidly rotating winds
200
What is the Jetstream
This is a belt of high-speed winds in the troposphere
200
False - movement of global winds
The diagram shows that ocean currents move in predictable patterns
200
What is a cold front
Name this front where cold air meets warm air.
200
Would slow down the airliner because you'd be going against the high winds
How would a jet stream affect an airliner flying through it from east to west across North America?
300
What is climate
Average weather conditions over a long period of time describe the what of an area
300
What is an air mass
This is a large body of air
300
True
Earth's atmosphere helps protect you from the Sun's harmful radiation
300
Energy from the Sun warms the Earth and its atmosphere much like it warms a greenhouse. Like the glass panels of a greenhouse, gases in the atmosphere trap solar radiation
Looking at picture, how is Earth's atmosphere like a greenhouse?
300
You should draw a warm front using half circles facing the direction in which the front is moving.
Look at diagram of Minnesota. Imagine a thunderstorm is about to form over the area. Draw a map that shows the front that will create the storm.
400
What is Coriolis effect
This causes winds to curve to the left in the Southern Hemisphere
400
What is a front
Another word for two air masses meet along a boundary
400
False - when warm, moist air is pushed upward at a front
Thunderstorms form when cool, dry air is pushed upward at a front.
400
The temperature inside would change with the outside weather conditions. The plants might not survive.
How might removing the glass panels of a greenhouse affect the plants inside?
500
What is convection current
A loop of rising and sinking air or water caused by differences in density
500
What is a thunderstorm
A small, intense weather system that generates heavy rain and strong winds
