The south will get colder
Why is DAYTONA Beach cooler than inland cities like Orlando
Because DAYTONA is near the ocean and the oceans temperature is consistently warmer than the land
Does the Gulf streams warm water moving north also increase the air temperature.
Yes
How do clouds form?
Clouds condense when there is a lot of humidity in the arm air
Which direction does the jet stream blows
East to West
What kind of weather comes with Low Presure?
Strong winds, moist air, hot water and air
What happens when the sun unequally heats the Earth
It creates local and global winds
Does the ocean temperature stay more consistent than land temps?
Yes
Does land heat up faster with the energy from the sun
Yes
How does radiation from the sun get to Earth
It moves light and heat through waves in open space
How does convection currents occur in water and air
Hot air or water rises and cold air or water sinks. This process creates wind and currents
What is climate
