Latitude Wind and Water Global Warming World Climates Miscellaneous Jeopardy 600

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 0 0

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 0 0 and 30 0 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 CO 2 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 through Continue

100 At what latitudes are you likely to find deserts? Continue 30 0 N and S

200 Double jeopardy Draw 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 Animation Continue

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 60 0 N compare to precipitation levels 45 0 N? There is much higher precipitation at 60 0 N than at 45 0 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? CO 2 Emissions

300 Continue Where did the O 2 in today’s atmosphere come from? Plants in the ocean turned CO 2 into O 2 through photosynthesis

400 Continue The top three gases in today’s atmosphere are what? Nitrogen, O 2, 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
