What term describes the movement of air from areas of colder temperature to warmer temperature?
What is the primary cause of sea breezes during the day?

Which statement best describes how sea breezes form?
Which type of air movement is responsible for distributing heat around the Earth?
What is the main reason why land heats up and cools down faster than water?
What phenomenon causes air to move from the sea towards the land during the day?
Which BEST describes the movement of air in the surface from cold regions and hot region?
Breeze: a gentle wind (often nice or refreshing) Blustery: blowing (strong) gusts of wind Windy: continual wind. Gale: a very strong wind Hurricane/cyclone/typhoon: a spiral arrangement of thunderstorms that produce winds and heavy rain. What's the difference between a hurricane, a typhoon and a cyclone? They are the same thing just with different names because of the region they are in. Atlantic/Northeast Pacific = a hurricane Northwest Pacific = a typhoon Southern Hemisphere = a cyclone Tornado: (noun) strong violent circular winds in a small area; a rapidly revolving column of air In United States the word twister is often used instead of tornado.LAND BREEZE & SEA BREEZESea breeze and land breezeLAND BREEZE AND SEA BREEZE 1st. grade quiz with the Vocabulary storm,windy,hot,Sunny,rain,cloudy,FOGGY,thunder,Hail,drought,WARM,flood,breeze,SNOWHello, Spring!

Have a spoon of sugar.air mass a large area of air that has uniform temperature, humidity, and pressure. air pressure the force that a column of air applies on the air or a surface below it albedo the measure of the sun's reflectivity on Earth's different surfaces atmosphere the layers of gases surrounding Earth climate average weather conditions in a specific region over a long period of time coriolis effect the movement of wind or currents in a curved path due to Earth's rotation eddy Smaller, temporary loops of swirling water that can travel long distances before dispersing front a boundary between two air masses greenhouse gas a gas in the atmosphere that absorbs part Earth’s outgoing infrared radiation gyre a large circular system of ocean currents. humidity the amount of water vapor in the air hydrosphere system containing all the solid and liquid water on Earth jet stream Narrow bands of high speed wind high in the troposphere that move from west to east land breeze Winds that blow at night from land toward the sea. This is due to the fact that land has a low specific heat capacity and cools faster than water. This creates high pressure over the land at night and thus wind. local winds Winds that blow over short distances polar easterlies cold winds that blow from the east to the west near the North Pole and South Pole. prevailing wind distinct wind patterns caused by differences in pressure and the Coriolis effect sea breeze Winds that blow during the day from the sea toward land. This is due to water having a high specific heat capacity and it does not heat or cool quickly. High pressure then forms over the water during the day and blows toward the land. specific heat capacity The amount of heat that must be added to a substance to increase the tempurature by one degree Celsius storm surge water that has blown outward from the center of a tropical cyclone or hurricane and creates an abnormal rise in ocean waters on the coast surface current Currents near the surface of the ocean. Driven by wind, the Coriolis effect, and continental deflection trade winds Steady winds that flow from east to west between 30°N latitude and 30°S latitude along the equator tropical cyclone a rotating, organized system of clouds and thunderstorms that originates over tropical or subtropical waters typhoon a tropical cyclone occurring in the Pacific Ocean; especially in the region of the Philippines or the China Sea. weather the short-term atmospheric conditions in a given place and time westerlies steady winds that flow from west to east in the middle latitudes (30- 60 Degrees). These impact our weather in the US. wind shear A large shift in wind speed andVocabulary Adventure Quiz Question,Option A,Option B,Option C,Option D,Correct Answer The class waited in expectancy when the teacher said, "I have a surprise!"
