Slide 2 8 th Grade Science Meteorology Review Slide 3 A:B: The sunHumidity C:D: Air massesCyclones #1 Where does Earth get the energy that produces global weather patterns? Slide 4 A. The Sun Slide 5 A:B: No, areas near the equator get more sun, while areas near the poles get less sun Yes, because the Sun heats all parts of the Earth evenly C:D: Both of these Neither of these #2 Do all of the areas on Earth get the same amount of the Sun energy? Why or Why not? Slide 6 A. No, areas near the equator get more sun, while areas near the poles get less sun Slide 7 A:B: The Moon phases The Earths weather systems C:D: Both of these Neither of these #3 What does the uneven heating of the Earth by the sun cause? Slide 8 B. The Earths Weather systems Slide 9 A:B: Trade windsWesterlies C:D: Coriolis EffectEasterlies #4 When the Earths rotation seems to cause the wind to curve? Slide 10 C. Coriolis Effect Slide 11 A:B: Ocean currentConvection current C:D: Conduction currentRadiation current #5 This diagram shows what type of current? These currents produce winds and ocean currents. Slide 12 B. Convection current Slide 13 Land Breeze and Sea Breeze Video Slide 14 A:B: Land breezeSea breeze C:D: uneavenlythoroughly #6 In a., land heats up more rapidly than water during the day. This results in a _____ ______. a. b. Slide 15 B. Sea breeze Slide 16 A:B: Land breezeSea breeze C:D: uneavenlythoroughly #7 In b., land cools more rapidly than water during the night. This results in a _____ ______. a. b. Slide 17 A. Land breeze Slide 18 A:B: Ocean water absorbs heat during the day Ocean water releases heat at night C:D: Oceans water does not effect climate. A and B #8 How do the oceans moderate the range of daily temperature on Earth? Slide 19 D. A and B Oceans absorb heat during the day and release energy at night. Slide 20 A:B: When warm air cools down In the Stratosphere C:D: When cool air warms up None of these #9 Where would clouds form in a convection current Slide 21 C. When warm air cools down. Slide 22 Global Winds Song Slide 23 A:B: StratosphereTroposphere C:D: MesosphereNone of these #10 In what layer of the atmosphere does weather occur? Slide 24 B. Troposphere Slide 25 A:B: WeatherClimate #11 The state of the atmosphere at a specific time or place. C:D: Frontneither Slide 26 A. Weather Slide 27 A:B: WeatherClimate #12 Average weather in a region over a long period of time. C:D: FrontNone of these Slide 28 B. Climate Slide 29 A:B: Yes. Both are over a long period of time No. Weather is at an exact moment and climate is over a long period of time #13 Are weather and climate the same? Why or Why not? C:D: Stationary frontOccluded front Slide 30 B. No. Weather is at an exact moment and climate is over a long period of time. Slide 31 A:B: Global windsPrevailing westerlies C:D: Surface windsPolar jet stream #14 What are responsible for the movement of much of the weather across the United States? Slide 32 B. Prevailing westerlies Slide 33 Weather Fronts Video Slide 34 A:B: Stationary frontCold front C:D: Warm frontNone of these #15 Which is likely to produce thunderstorms? Slide 35 B. Cold front Slide 36 A:B: Weather frontsLow pressure C:D: Humidity systemsNone of these #16 Symbols 1 4 in the diagram are symbols representing different types of _______ _______. COLD WARM STATIONARY OCCLUDED Slide 37 A. Weather fronts Slide 38 A:B: Dew pointcumulus C:D: Air massfront #17 The place where two air masses meat. Slide 39 D. Front Slide 40 A:B: Heavy rains on top of the mountains Dry weather on top of the mountains C:D: BothNeither #18 Air ascending, then descending over Mountains causes _________________. Slide 41 A. Heavy rains on top of the mountains Slide 42 A:B: Dew pointhumidity #19 Mountains, large bodies of water, ocean currents, latitude, and altitude are all geological features that affect __________ C:D: frontsclimate Slide 43 D. Climate Slide 44 A:B: frontshumidity C:D: Dew pointwinds #20 Larger differences in temperature and pressure mean stronger ______ Slide 45 D. Winds Slide 46 Ocean Currents video Slide 47 A:B: The current prevents sunlight from reaching Iceland. The current causes Icelands climate to be colder. C:D: The current causes Icelands climate to be warmer. The current carries cold water to Iceland. Iceland #21 According to this diagram, how does the Gulf Stream probably affect Iceland? Slide 48 C. The current causes Icelands climate to be warmer. Slide 49 A:B: near the equator near the polar regions C:D: NeitherBoth #22 Most ocean currents originate __________ where the ocean is warmest. Slide 50 A. Near the equator Slide 51 A:B: Cool cold ocean currents cause coastal temperatures to cool Warm ocean currents cause coastal temperatures to warm C:D: NeitherBoth #23 How do ocean currents effect the climate of coastal areas? Slide 52 D. Both Slide 53 What causes Hurricanes? Video Slide 54 A:B: Currents carry warm water along the ocean surface Evaporating water provide energy in the atmosphere C:D: Rising tides cause the ocean surface to become cooler None of these #24 Which of these explains how energy is transferred from the ocean to a hurricane? Slide 55 B. Evaporating water provides energy in the atmosphere Slide 56 A:B: where oceans are coolest where oceans are warmest C:D: where landmasses are the largest None of these #25 Hurricanes most often occur ______________? Slide 57 B. where oceans are warmest. Slide 58 A:B: The ocean heats the atmosphere above it. The ocean provides heat energy for thunderstorms #26 How does the ocean affect Earths climate during the summer in coastal regions. C:D: The ocean heats up the rock and soil on the land. The ocean helps to cool coastal regions. Slide 59 D. The ocean helps to cool coastal regions. Slide 60 Great Job!!!! Great Job!!!! Thank you for playing! Thank you for playing!
