Ash and sulphur dioxide

Question 9

The stratosphere

Answer 9

The layer of air above the earths surface

Question 10

The sunspot theory

Answer 10

The sun has many spots which show how much energy it has and it means it’s more active

Question 11

What is climate

Answer 11

Each day in weather the amount of rainfall changes, the worlds winds, ocean currents and pressure systems change the seasons

Answer 18

North Atlantic and Pacific

Question 19

Cyclone develop where

Answer 19

Indian and South Pacific

Question 20

Typhoon develop where

Answer 20

Western

Question 21

Hazards of tropical cyclone

Answer 21

Strong winds
Storm surges
Intense rainfall
Landslides

Question 22

Tropical cyclones form in what areas

Answer 22

Warm areas

Question 23

Where do they develop

Answer 23

Warm oceans over long periods
Strong winds are high in the troposphere
Strong winds created by the rotation of the Coriolis force

Question 24

How they form

Answer 24

Warm air currents rise and as it rises air joins in with it, then air contains huge volumes of water vapour which then rise and condense to form clouds and this contains energy, coriolis dorce contains rising currents of air such then rise and from tropical storm, as it tracks away from its source it is fed new air and enlarges

Atoms that release particles of heat

Question 32

Inner core

Answer 32

So deep and is under high pressure

Question 33
