  • Q1
    what is the difference between weather and climate?
    when the cold winds from the pacific become weak, waters in the central pacific Ocean grow warmer than usual, leading to more evaporation and rain in certain areas.
    weather includes unpredictable change in the air over a short period of time; climate is the usual, predictable weather over a long period of time.
    east coast of North America and Western Europe
    because the earth is tilted, the sun's rays hit the surface in different amount in different places. area in which the sun's rays hit more directly have warmer climate

  • Q2
    how does the tilt of the earth affect climate?
    weather includes unpredictable change in the air over a short period of time; climate is the usual, predictable weather over a long period of time.

  • Q3
    why do EI Ninos occur?
    warmer Equator winds rise and move north and south toward the Poles, and colder polar winds sink and flow toward the Equator.

  • Q4
    what areas of the world would be affected by a change in the Gulf Stream?
    warmer Equator winds rise and move north and south toward the Poles, and colder polar winds sink and flow toward the Equator.
    because the air becomes thinner and cannot hold as much heat from the sun

  • Q5
    why are areas of higher elevation often cooler?
    warmer Equator winds rise and move north and south toward the Poles, and colder polar winds sink and flow toward the Equator.
    because the air becomes thinner and cannot hold as much heat from the sun
    tree burning results in gases being released in the air, creating the greenhouse effect; fewer trees means less water evaporation, which might make rain forests dry and incapable of growing anything.

  • Q6
    what are two dangers of cleaning the rain forests?
    the sun, wind, water, landforms, and people
    because the air becomes thinner and cannot hold as much heat from the sun
    between 23 1/2N (Tropic of Cancer) and 23 1/2 S (Tropic of Capricorn)

  • Q7
    what five elements affect climate?
    because the air becomes thinner and cannot hold as much heat from the sun
    the windward side receives more rain. As winds are forced up and over mountains, the air has less moisture on the leeward side.
    warmer Equator winds rise and move north and south toward the Poles, and colder polar winds sink and flow toward the Equator.

  • Q8
    Between what two lines of latitude are the Tropics?
    because the air becomes thinner and cannot hold as much heat from the sun
    between 23 1/2N (Tropic of Cancer) and 23 1/2 S (Tropic of Capricorn)
    between 25 1/2 W (Tropic of Cancer) and 30 1/2 E (Tropic of Capricorn)

  • Q9
    how does the amount of rainfall on the windward side of a mountain differ from that on the leeward side?
    the windward side receives more rain. As winds are forced up and over mountains, the air has less moisture on the leeward side.
    warmer Equator winds rise and move north and south toward the Poles, and colder polar winds sink and flow toward the Equator

  • Q10
    what general patterns do wind and currents follow?
    because the earth is tilted, the sun's rays hit the surface in different amount in different places. area in which the sun's rays hit more directly have warmer climate
    warmer Equator winds rise and move north and south toward the Poles, and colder polar winds sink and flow toward the Equator
