Climate Patterns In Biomes (MC On Final)

Question 1

Explain how the coriolis effect creates wind currents on the earth

Answer 1

Caused my earths rotation which deflects moving air.
North: the wind curves to the right
South: the wind curves to the left
This causes prevailing wind patterns like trade winds and westerlies

Question 2

How does the albedo effect and greenhouse effect work together to keep the earths temperature consistent?

Answer 2

Albedo effect reflects sunlight to cool earth & greenhouse effect traps heat to warm it

Question 3

What causes similar biomes existing at different points on earth

Answer 3

It’s caused by comparable climate conditions like temperature & precipitation created by latitude, altitude, and ocean currents
