  4. These types of clouds are assoc w/Thunderstorms

  5. What are cumulonimbus

  6. A current generated by heat

  7. What is a convection current?

  8. This type of front may produce days of gentle rain.

  9. What is a warm front?

  10. What is the weather like over Lake Superior?

  11. What rainy and warm?

  12. According to the station model below (middle graphic), the wind is coming from the _____ and the sky is _____. In the next few hours, the weather will be ____ because the barometer is _____.

  13. According to the station model below (middle graphic), the wind is coming from the __NORTHEAST___ and the sky is __CLOUDY___. In the next few hours, the weather will be __RAINY__ because the barometer is ___FALLING__.

  14. The cause of descending air being deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere

  15. What is the Coriolis effect?

  16. According to your knowledge of Doppler Radar, low pressure, and prevailing winds, what is going to happen soon in Chicago and why?

  17. It is going to rain in Chicago. Prevailing winds move from West to East across our country, Doppler radar shows rain moving, low pressure air is drawn upwards in a counter-clockwise motion in our hemisphere.

  18. This air mass originates over inland Alaska & Canada

  19. What is Continental Polar

  20. This air mass originates over oceans in high latitudes

  21. What is Maritime Polar

  22. When there is a warm front & cold front colliding this one will stay near the ground

  23. What is the cold front

  24. An urban heat island refers to the fact that the air above and around a big city is warmer than the surrounding countryside. Referring to your knowledge of radiation and conduction, explain why this is possible.

  25. Big cities have a lot of pavement. Darker surfaces absorb more wavelengths of light (which is electromagnetic radiation). In the process of conduction, which is when molecules collide, the surrounding air is heated.

  26. This is how the Sun’s energy travels through space and eventually warms us here on Earth.

  27. What is Radiation

  28. This layer of the atmosphere is where the good Ozone resides

  29. What is the Stratosphere

  30. The difference between temperature and heat

  31. What is: temperature is a measurement of heat. Heat is the transfer of energy.

  32. The layer of the atmosphere where most weather events occur. We live here.

  33. What is the Troposphere

  34. This is the weight of the atmosphere as it pushes down on Earth’s surface

  35. What is Air Pressure

  36. The temperature to which air must be cooled at constant pressure to reach saturation.

  37. What is dew point?

  38. Air moving from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.

  39. What is wind?

  40. Warm air can rise for one of these three reasons:

  41. What is orographic lifting, fronts, or convection? (Daily Double)

  42. Measures the ratio of Water vapor in a volume of air How much water vapor that air is capable of holding

  43. What is relative humidity?

  44. Deserts are found mostly at this latitude because of convection currents

  45. What is 30 degrees North and South

  46. The Milankovitch Cycles include several natural influences on Earth’s climate. Two of these include:

  47. What is: Variation in axial tilt (obliquity) Variation in orbit (eccentricity) Wobble (or precession) on the axis

  48. Which fossil fuel is responsible for climate change, acid precipitation, and clouded visibility? (And what do we use it for?)

  49. What is coal?

  50. Draw a picture that illustrates your understanding of how global warming works.
