Would you expect the size of the
temperate zone to increase, decrease, or
stay the same if the Earth went through

DECREASE IN SIZE
•
The temperate zone would reduce
in size. Ice and snow would cover
more of Earth’s surface, enlarging the
polar zone.
It is more difficult to measure and
predict local weather than it is to
predict weather in a large area.

TRUE
• Most weather forecasts are for large
areas. Why is it sometimes more
difficult to predict local weather
conditions?
•
Local weather is determined by many
factors, including bodies of water,
buildings, and pavements. Also, it is
difficult to measure all the weather factors
in the various small locales.

Yes
• How can human activities affect local and
global climates?
•
Human activities such as building cities,
burning fossil fuels can cause temperature to
increase, causing a heat island. Increasing
carbon dioxide also causes temperature to
increase. Because prevailing winds heated air
and pollutants easily move over the globe,
affecting the entire planet.

• Experience has taught us that low pressure is
often correlated with weather that involves
clouds, precipitation, and/or wind ("bad"
weather), and that high pressure is often
correlated with clear skies and stagnant air
("fair" weather). By making use of observations
of changes in air pressure and their correlated
weather patterns, we can use a barometer to
predict weather.
