Question 0

As earth revolves around the sun the northern hemisphere is titled

Answer 0

Toward the sun in June but away from it in December

Question 1

The primary reason that the polar ocean doesn’t freeze solid and the equatorial ocean doesn’t boil away is because the

Answer 1

Ocean moves heat from the low to the high latitudes

Question 2

A cyclone is

Answer 2

A huge rotating made of low pressure air in which winds converge and ascend

Question 3

Coriolis effect is caused by the

Answer 3

Different speeds at which points at different latitudes move

Question 4

The greatest destruction of a hurricane is caused by

Answer 4

Storm surge. Mass of water driven by the storm 1 meter in open sea

Question 5

Doldrums

Answer 5

Calm equatorial areas where the winds of two Hadley cells converge

Question 6

The Coriolis effect

Answer 6

Eastward rotation of wary on its axis deflects the moving air or water (or any moving object that has mass) away from its initial course

Question 7

The long term average of weather in any area is

Answer 7

Climate

Question 8

To qualify as a hurricane a tropical cyclone must have winds of at least

Answer 8

119 kilometers 74 mph

Question 9

In air as temperature increases water decreases. as water content increases density

Answer 9

Decreases

Question 10

As air rises, it expands and cooks; as air falls it

Answer 10

Compresses and heats

Question 11

Coriolis deflection is to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the

Answer 11

Left in the south

Question 12

Warm air expands and rises at equator

Answer 12

Falls and cools at poles

Question 13

As air rises at the equator it loses moisture by

Answer 13

Precipitation

Question 14

Hadley cells

Answer 14

A pair of cells in the tropics on each side of the equator

Question 15

Ferrel cells

Answer 15

Mid latitude circulations cells of each hemisphere

Question 16

Horse latitudes

Answer 16

High atmospheric pressure and little surface wind.
Ocean salinity is higher
Intersection of Hadley and ferrel cells at 30 degrees

Question 17

Trade winds

Answer 17

surface winds of Hadley cells as they move from the horse latitudes to doldrums

Question 18

Monsoons

Answer 18

Pattern of wind circulation. Wet summers dry winters. follow ITCZ south in the northern winter

Question 19

Air mass

Answer 19

Large body of air with nearly uniform temperature, humidity, and density. Density differences prevent air masses from mixing. Boundary of different air masses is a front

Question 20

Extratropical Cyclones

Answer 20

Form at boundary between each hemispheres polar cells and its ferrel cell (polar front)

Question 21

Tropical cyclones

Answer 21

Great masses of warm, humid, rotating air
