Slide 1

Which part of the Earths Surface receives the LEAST direct rays from the Sun? Slide 2 Poles Slide 3 Would air rise more quickly above land or water? Slide 4 The land The land heats up quickly which will heat the air more quickly than water. Hot air will rise once it is heating. Slide 5 What does the uneven heating of the Earth by the sun cause on earth? A.Specific Heat B.Radiation C.Convection Currents D.Thermocline Slide 6 C. Convection Currents Slide 7 What property of cold air causes it to sink? Slide 8 Density Cool Air is more dense, warm air is less dense Slide 9 Explain the process of Land Breeze. Slide 10 1.The land is much cooler than the ocean at night. 2. The ocean heats the air above it. 3. The heated air then rises the a higher altitude where it cools. 4. As it cools it sinks down toward the cool land. 5. The cooler denser air at the land moves toward the warm ocean and process continues Slide 11 A hurricane increases in energy when coming in contact with what? A.Land B.Warm Water C.Cold Water D.Maintain its level of energy no matter what Slide 12 Warm Water Slide 13 When warm air rises then cools and sinks, this process is called? A.Conduction B.Convection C.Radiation D.Thermoregulation Slide 14 What is the direction of the wind and the name of the winds in the following area on the globe? Slide 15 East to West Trade Winds Slide 16 What processes cause winds to move in bands like in the picture below? Slide 17 Uneven heating of the Earth and Coriolis Effect and Coriolis Effect Slide 18 What frontal system will soon be entering Texas in the next few days? A.Low Pressure B.High Pressure C.Warm Front D.Cold Front Slide 19 Cold Front Slide 20 The air mass over Southeast Louisiana is an area of __________ pressure; therefore, the weather associated with it is ___________________. Slide 21 Low pressure; stormy Slide 22 What would the following air mass be labeled? Slide 23 mT maritime Tropical Slide 24 What would the weather be under the following air mass? (temperature and moisture level) Slide 25 Cold and high moisture level Slide 26 What is the difference between weather and climate? Slide 27 The difference between weather and climate is a measure of time. Weather is what conditions of the atmosphere are over a short period of time, and climate is how the atmosphere "behaves" over relatively long periods of time in a certain region. Slide 28 Where do warm ocean currents originate? Slide 29 The equator Slide 30 What is measured by a Thermometer? Barometer? Anemometer? Slide 31 If you were collecting weather data for four weeks including air pressure, temperature, and wind speed. What might the data table look like? Slide 32 DateTime of Day TemperatureAir Press ure Wind speed Slide 33 What contributes most to creating the seasons on Earth? Slide 34 The tilt of Earths axis Slide 35 How does energy from the ocean transfer to a hurricane? Slide 36 Evaporating water adds heat to the atmosphere Slide 37 What information is shown by the contour lines on a topographic map? Slide 38 Elevation Slide 39 How would a hill be represented on a topographic map? Slide 40 Series of closed lines forming concentric circles Slide 41 What is the original source of energy that heats air and causes wind? Slide 42 The Sun Slide 43 Do oceans or land masses regulate temperatures better? Slide 44 Oceans Slide 45 A topographic map of a region is provided. Which position indicated by the letters is at an elevation of 475 meters? Slide 46 Z Slide 47 A topographic map is provided. The contour interval of the topographic map shown here is Slide 48 25 meters Slide 49 How can you tell if an area is steep on a topographic map? Slide 50 Where the contour lines are closest together Slide 51 A river is running through the region represented by the topographic map shown here. In which portion of the river will the water be flowing fastest? Which direction is the river flowing? Slide 52 2 to 3 west to east
