1. You and your family vacation at a cabin on the shore of a large lake. At night, you notice that a breeze blows over your cabin toward the lake. Explain what causes the wind to blow in that direction.
Answer: Land breezes are blowing from the land to
the ocean. The air over the ocean is warmer, so it rises up & the cool air from the land takes it places
2. Name the three types of fronts.
Answer: Warm Front, Cold Front, & Stationary Front
3. Climate is affected by what three things?
Answer: 1. Tilt and rotation of Earth 2. Latitudes
3. Landforms
4. How is weather different from climate?
Answer: Weather changes from day to day, whereas climate is an average over several years
5. How does a warm front occur? What type of weather is associated with this type of front?
Answer: A mass of warm air moves toward and over a slower mass of cold air
-As it is pushed up over cool air, it
cools & forms clouds-Can cause steady
rain for 1-2 days
6. Explain what a Rain Shadow is and how it forms?
Answer: Warm air cools as it rises along mountain creating clouds (loses moisture); Cool dry air from the mountain will then warm as it falls down the other side
-Air has less moisture because released it
on the other side-Creates deserts on other side = Rain Shadow
7. What happens during an equinox? How many of these are there each year?
Answer: Day and Night are equal all over the Earth
There are two equinoxes per year:1. Spring: March 21st
2. Fall: September 22nd
8. How does a cold front occur? What type of weather is associated with this type of front?
Answer: Forward edge of a mass of cold air moves under a slower mass of warm air and pushes it up -High winds,
thunderstorms, & tornadoes can accompany front
