24
Q

Climate

A

The long term weather patterns of a place

25
Climate zone
An area that has similar average temperatures and precipitation throughout
26
Equator
The a maginary line that divides Earth into its northern and Southern hemisphere or halves
27
Latitude
The measure of how far North or South a place is from the equator
28
Temperature climate
As moderate temperatures
29
Tropical climate
Is warm year round
30
Polar climate
Is cold year round
31
The highest cloud that is thin with wispy strands
Sirius
32
A cloud that is white and puffy
Cumulus
33
Cummulonimbus clouds sighnal
A storm coming
34
Low lying clouds with a horizontal layering and a uniform base
Stratus
35
What is Weathering
The process of breaking down landforms and rocks into smaller pieces called sediments that make up soil
36
What is erosion
The movement of sediments or swale from one place to another by some kind of force
37
What is deposition
The process where sediments are fat down or deposited in another place creating new landform
38
Earthquake , landslide ,and Volcano are an example of what
Rapid changes
39
The are the 5 physical properties of minerals
Hardness, color, Leicester, street, and cleavage / fracture
40
Igneous rock
Formed when molten lava cools into a solid
41
Sedimentary
Are formed in layers over time when pieces of other larger rocks are weathered and broken down and form rocks by build-up and pressure
42
Metamorphic
Formed from heat and pressure deep within the Earth
43
Renewable resource
A resource that will renew themselves in our lifetime renewable resource found in Florida are water wind trees plants animals and solar energy
44
Non renewable resources
On renewable resources take millions of years to form such as fossil fuels or coal non renewable resources founded Florida are oil phosphate mine stone and sand
