What are surface currents, upwellings, density currents
Name three types of ocean currents.
|
What is some of the outgoing energy from Earth to Space gets trapped and redirected back to Earth by Greenhouse gases.
What is the Greenhouse Effect
|
|
What is infrared radiation?
Visible light must be converted to ____________________________ before it can be absorbed
|
What is wind?
The movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure cause
|
What are global winds, coriolis effect and topography
Name 3 things that affect ocean currents
|
What are Carbon Dioxide (CO), Methane(CH4), and Water Vapor(H2O)
Name 3 Greenhouse gases
|
|
What is when the amount of solar energy absorbed by earth is the same amount of energy that Earth radiates back to space.
Radiation balance is
|
What is there are 3 convection cells in each hemisphere of earth.
There are _______ convection cells in each _____________ of earth
|
What are North Atlantic gyre, South Atlantic gyre, North Pacific gyre, South Pacific gyre, and Indian Ocean Gyre
What are the 5 major ocean gyres?
|
What is in conduction the transfer of heat occurs by the collision of particles of matter (heat from pot handle to hand) and in convection the transfer of heat occurs by the movement of particles within matter. (circular motion)
The difference between convection and conduction is
|
|
What is UV are just beyond the range of visibility to human eyes, have short wavelengths and can break chemical bonds. Infrared have longer wavelengths and can be felt as heat.
What is the difference between infrared and ultraviolet radiation?
|
What is the movement of wind and water to the right or left that is caused by Earth;s rotation. It creates prevailing winds (westerlies, trade winds, and polar easterlies)
What is the Coriolis effect and what does it affect?
|
What is in an upwelling is when wind is pushing water away from an area. (vertical movement) and a density current is when water surface gets moved deeper to other areas of the ocean.
What is the difference between an upwelling and a density current?
|
What is latent heat?
What is exchanged when water changes from one state to another?
|
|
What is 25% is reflected by clouds, 5% reflected by land and sea, 20% is absorbed by atmosphere and 50% is absorbed by Earth's surface.
What percentage of radiation is reflected by clouds, reflected by land and sea, absorbed by the atmosphere, and absorbed by Earth's surface?
|
What is local winds. EX sea breeze and land breeze
What occurs whenever air pressure is different from one location to another and give two examples of it.
