Solar Energy Winds Convection Climate Zones global winds

This is the driving force for heating of the earth

What is solar energy?

The sun’s energy is either or by gases or clouds

What is reflected or absorbed?

The cause of sunlight reaching the earth’s surface, radiating, and getting trapped in the troposphere by gases

What is the Greenhouse Effect?

How land heats up and releases its energy.

What is quickly?

It is the water on the earth that helps the temperature in the atmosphere.

What is regulate?

200 Points Wind starts because of differences in.

What is air pressure?

400 Points A wind that blows from water onto land.

What is a sea breeze?

600 Points A wind that blows from land towards a body of water.

What is a land breeze?

800 Points This is a wind that blows over a short distance.

What is a local wind?

1000 Points These are winds that blow over long distances formed by unequal heating of the earth.

What is a global wind?

200 Points Convection currents in the atmosphere are caused because warm air.

What is rises and cools?

400 Points Convection causes global winds because of the heating of the earth.

What is unequal (uneven)?

600 Points Convection also causes weather systems to move in particular.

What is directions?

800 Points Convection not only controls the winds, it also controls.

What are ocean currents?

1000 Points The three convection regions are the tropical, polar and this one where we live.

What is the temperate region?

200 Points This zone is located between 60 and 90 degrees latitude.

What is the polar zone?

400 Points This zone is from the equator to 30 degrees latitude.

What is the tropical zone?

600 Points This zone is from 30 to 60 degrees latitude.

What is the temperate zone?

800 Points The cause of the climate zones is due to the heating of the earth.

What is unequal?

1000 Points The climate zones are directly related to these regions.

What are convection regions?

200 Points Global winds are caused by this effect.

What is the coriolis effect?

400 Points This is the fast moving ribbon of air that can dip and bend and move all weather in its path.

What is the jet stream?

600 Points These winds blow from east to west in the tropical region.

What are trade winds?

800 Points These winds blow from northeast to west in the polar region.

What are polar winds?

1000 Points These winds blow from west to east in the temperate region.

What are the prevailing westerly winds?
