science 3rd q. Flashcards
measures how hot or cold the air is
AIR TEMPERATURE
man-made greenhouse gases produce as refrigerants in air conditioners,refrigerator,freezer,heat pumper
CHLOROFLUOROCARBONS(CFC)
patterns of star in the sky
CONSTELLATIONS
materials that remain after extraction of ore minerals
MINE TAILINGS
recognizable but not official grouping of star
ASTERISM
areas where wind blow from SEA ONTO LAND
WINDWARD SIDE OF ISLAND
measures the use of resources against the Earth’s capacity to regenerate.
ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT
occurs on the leeward slope of mountains
RAIN SHADOW EFFECT
extraction of valuable geological matter such as ores, minerals and stone
MINING
areas where wind blow INLAND TOWARDS THE SEA
LEEWARD SIDE
are the two noticeable factors that describe climates
TEMPERATURE AND PRECIPITATION
can be droplets of water or solidified water
AMOUNT AND TYPE OF PRECIPITATION
measures how heavy the air is
AIR PRESSURE
precipitation
proximity to mountain ranges wind
gaseous substance that absorb infrared radiation from the sun and trap the heat in the atmosphere
GREENHOUSE GASES
Method in purification Uses heat and chemical agents to chemically separate the desired metal fr. the other components of ore
SMELTING
defined as the cumulative patterns of weather in a particular place over time
CLIMATE
constellation that can see all year round
CIRCUMPOLAR
Type of mining thick,shallow and flat lying deposits
OPEN-PIT MINING
temperature
latitude proximity to large bodies of water elavation
3rd largest constellation
URSA MAJOR(BIG BEAR)
air moves from an area of high temperature to that of low temperature
WIND STRENGTH AND DIRECTION
refers to the day to day changes or patters in the atmosphere at a particular place and time
WEATHER
refers to the dynamics of air and precipitation on the windward slope of the mountains
OROGRAPHIC EFFECT
refers to the amount of carbon dioxide release into the atmosphere as a result of activities of an individual or organization
CARBON FOOTPRINT
long term average increase in global temperature
GLOBAL WARMING
