This is the driving
force for heating of
the earth
What is solar energy?
The sun’s energy is
either
or
by gases or clouds
What is reflected or
absorbed?
The cause of sunlight reaching the
earth’s surface, radiating, and
getting trapped in the troposphere
by gases
What is the
Greenhouse Effect?
How land heats up and
releases its energy.
What is quickly?
It is the water on the earth
that helps
the
temperature in the
atmosphere.
What is regulate?
200 Points
Wind starts because of
differences in
.
What is air pressure?
400 Points
A wind that blows
from water onto
land.
What is a sea breeze?
600 Points
A wind that blows from
land towards a body of
water.
What is a land
breeze?
800 Points
This is a wind that
blows over a short
distance.
What is a local wind?
1000 Points
These are winds that blow
over long distances
formed by unequal
heating of the earth.
What is a global
wind?
200 Points
Convection currents in
the atmosphere are
caused because warm
air
.
What is rises and
cools?
400 Points
Convection causes
global winds because
of the
heating
of the earth.
What is unequal
(uneven)?
600 Points
Convection also causes
weather systems to
move in particular
.
What is directions?
800 Points
Convection not only
controls the winds, it also
controls
.
What are ocean
currents?
1000 Points
The three convection
regions are the
tropical, polar and this
one where we live.
What is the
temperate region?
200 Points
This zone is located
between 60 and 90
degrees latitude.
What is the polar
zone?
400 Points
This zone is from the equator
to 30 degrees latitude.
What is the tropical
zone?
600 Points
This zone is from 30 to 60 degrees
latitude.
What is the
temperate zone?
800 Points
The cause of the climate zones
is due to the
heating
of the earth.
What is unequal?
1000 Points
The climate zones are
directly related to these
regions.
What are convection
regions?
200 Points
Global winds are caused by this
effect.
What is the coriolis
effect?
400 Points
This is the fast moving
ribbon of air that can dip
and bend and move all
weather in its path.
What is the jet
stream?
600 Points
These winds blow from
east to west in the
tropical region.
What are trade
winds?
800 Points
These winds blow from
northeast to west in the
polar region.
What are polar
winds?
1000 Points
These winds blow
from west to east in
the temperate
region.
What are the
prevailing westerly
winds?
