13. What are trade winds? A 400

14. They can be found between 30 degrees and 60 degrees latitude North or South and always blow towards the poles A 500

15. What are the prevailing westerlies? A 500

16. The process of warm air rising and cold air sinking creates circulating patterns of wind known as this B 100

17. What is convection currents? B 100

18. Global wind patterns are affected in the Northern Hemisphere by turning in a clockwise direction and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere due to this B 200

19. What is the Coriolis Effect? B 200

20. This local weather pattern often results when cool air from the water is blown onto land B 300

21. What is a sea breeze? B 300

22. An event resulting from the warming of the Pacific Ocean by several degrees B 400

23. What is El Nino? B 400

24. Often occurring during evening hours, when air is blown from the land to the water often causing land to cool more quickly than the water B 500

25. What is a land breeze? B 500

27. What is fair, dry conditions? C 100

28. The name for this symbol C 200

29. What is a stationary front? C 200

30. Often results when warm air rises and wind blows in a counterclockwise direction C 300

31. What is a low pressure system? C 300

32. Provide the name for this symbol and identify the weather associated with it C 400

48. vertical columns or mounds of water at the surface and the flow around E 200

49. What are gyres? E 200

50. E 300 The rising of cold, usually nutrient-rich waters from the ocean depths to the warmer, sunlit zone at the surface

52. a relatively warm ocean current flowing northeastwards off the Atlantic coast of the US from the Gulf of Mexico E 400

53. What is the Gulf Stream? E 400

54. E 500 Water movement which extends to depths of 3-10 feet often creating by wind dragging along the top of water

55. E 500 What is surface current?

56. F 100 This is what happens to trade winds and water during an El Nino Event
