What is latitude?
100
Continue
Degrees North or South from the equator
200
At what latitude are temperatures likely to be the
warmest year round?
Continue
Near the equator, latitudes near 00
300
When it is spring in the Northern Hemisphere what season is it in the
Southern Hemisphere?
Fall
Continue
400
Continue
What causes seasonal temperature differences?
The tilt of the Earth
500
Continue
Where are deserts and rain forests found?
Deserts are found at 30 N & S & rain forests are found at
0 degrees.
600
At the poles. Coriolis Effect
Continue
Where is the greatest deflection? What is the name for deflection?
100
Continue
Where are the doldrums located?
Near the equator
200
Where are the trade winds
found?
Between 00 and 300 latitude
Continue
300
Continue
What cause oceans currents to rotate?
The Coriolis Effect
400
Which direction do ocean
currents rotate in the
Northern Hemisphere?
Clockwise
Continue
500
Continue
This water current carries heat from the equator to the high
latitudes.
The Gulf Stream
600
Continue
Are wind currents near the surface of the ocean
between 30 degrees and 0 degrees are moving toward the
equator or away from it?
Toward
100
What causes heat entering the
atmosphere to be trapped and
continue to keep the Earth warm
enough for life?
Greenhouse gases/ effect
Continue
200
What absorbs some of the UV light?
Continue
The ozone layer
300
How does global warming effect sea level?
Continue
It could cause ice caps to melt and raise sea
level
400
Melting ice caps can cause ocean currents that bring warm to Europe to stop flowing,
forcing them into a possible ice age
Continue
Double Jeopardy
Explain how global warming could cause Europe’s temperature to decrease.
500
Where do most CO2
emissions come from?
Burning of fossil fuels
Continue
600
Explain why solar radiation can get into the atmosphere but terrestrial radiation
can’t get out.
Solar radiation enters as short wavelengths that can pass through the atmosphere but the long
wavelengths from earth don’t pass throughContinue
100
At what latitudes are you likely to find deserts?
Continue
300 N and S
200
Double jeopardyDraw a sketch of the earth showing areas
of rising and falling air.For triple points, add in climate zones
(tropical rainforests, deserts, temperate forests, tundra

300
How does the temperature range of a city near the ocean compare to temperature range of a city at similar latitude far from
the water?
Continue
Closer to the ocean causes temperature
ranges to be narrower, further away cause wider temperature
ranges
400
High altitude leads to lower temperatures, low latitudes have higher temperatures;
higher altitude is analogous to going up in latitude!
Continue
How does altitude effect average temperatures?
500
How do precipitation levels at 600 N compare to precipitation levels 450 N?
There is much higher precipitation at
600 N than at 450 N
Continue
600
Name 3 of the 5 major temperature zones
Tropical, Humid mid-latitude, Dry (Desert), Cold Climate, Continental
Continue
100
Why is it warm on a cloudy night and cold on a cloudy day?
Clouds insulate, they keep heat in at night or out during the day
Continue
200
Continue
Scientists have strong evidence that this
causes global warming?
CO2 Emissions
300
Continue
Where did the O2 in today’s atmosphere
come from?
Plants in the ocean turned CO2 into O2
through photosynthesis
400
Continue
The top three gases in today’s atmosphere are
what?
Nitrogen, O2, Argon
500
Continue
What gases made up Earth’s first
atmosphere?
Hydrogen and Helium
600
Continue
Does air pressure increase of decrease
with altitude?
Decrease
