  4. 100 What is latitude? Degrees North or South from the equator Continue

  5. 200 At what latitude are temperatures likely to be the warmest year round? Near the equator, latitudes near 00 Continue

  6. 300 When it is spring in the Northern Hemisphere what season is it in the Southern Hemisphere? Fall Continue

  7. 400 What causes seasonal temperature differences? The tilt of the Earth Continue

  8. 500 Where are deserts and rain forests found? Deserts are found at 30 N & S & rain forests are found at 0 degrees. Continue

  9. 600 Where is the greatest deflection? What is the name for deflection? At the poles. Coriolis Effect Continue

  10. 100 Where are the doldrums located? Near the equator Continue

  11. 200 Where are the trade winds found? Between 00 and 300 latitude Continue

  12. 300 What cause oceans currents to rotate? The Coriolis Effect Continue

  13. 400 Which direction do ocean currents rotate in the Northern Hemisphere? Clockwise Continue

  14. 500 This water current carries heat from the equator to the high latitudes. The Gulf Stream Continue

  15. 600 Are wind currents near the surface of the ocean between 30 degrees and 0 degrees are moving toward the equator or away from it? Toward Continue

  16. 100 What causes heat entering the atmosphere to be trapped and continue to keep the Earth warm enough for life? Greenhouse gases/ effect Continue

  17. 200 What absorbs some of the UV light? The ozone layer Continue

  18. 300 How does global warming effect sea level? It could cause ice caps to melt and raise sea level Continue

  19. 400 Double Jeopardy Explain how global warming could cause Europe’s temperature to decrease. Melting ice caps can cause ocean currents that bring warm to Europe to stop flowing, forcing them into a possible ice age Continue

  20. 500 Where do most CO2 emissions come from? Burning of fossil fuels Continue

  21. 600 Explain why solar radiation can get into the atmosphere but terrestrial radiation can’t get out. Solar radiation enters as short wavelengths that can pass through the atmosphere but the long wavelengths from earth don’t pass through Continue

  22. 100 At what latitudes are you likely to find deserts? 300 N and S Continue

  23. 200 Double jeopardy Draw a sketch of the earth showing areas of rising and falling air. For triple points, add in climate zones (tropical rainforests, deserts, temperate forests, tundra Animation Continue

  24. 300 How does the temperature range of a city near the ocean compare to temperature range of a city at similar latitude far from the water? Closer to the ocean causes temperature ranges to be narrower, further away cause wider temperature ranges Continue

  25. 400 How does altitude effect average temperatures? High altitude leads to lower temperatures, low latitudes have higher temperatures; higher altitude is analogous to going up in latitude! Continue

  26. 500 How do precipitation levels at 600 N compare to precipitation levels 450 N? There is much higher precipitation at 600 N than at 450 N Continue

  27. 600 Name 3 of the 5 major temperature zones Tropical, Humid mid-latitude, Dry (Desert), Cold Climate, Continental Continue

  28. 100 Why is it warm on a cloudy night and cold on a cloudy day? Clouds insulate, they keep heat in at night or out during the day Continue

  29. 200 Scientists have strong evidence that this causes global warming? CO2 Emissions Continue

  30. 300 Where did the O2 in today’s atmosphere come from? Plants in the ocean turned CO2 into O2 through photosynthesis Continue

  31. 400 The top three gases in today’s atmosphere are what? Nitrogen, O2, Argon Continue

  32. 500 What gases made up Earth’s first atmosphere? Hydrogen and Helium Continue

  33. 600 Does air pressure increase of decrease with altitude? Decrease Continue
