Isotherms - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Atmospheric Charts - Answer-• Contours: - Isobars or height contours (solid), - isotherms (long dash), or - isotachs (short-dash) • Include station models at given stations • Lows, highs, troughs, ridges, fronts Isobaric charts - Answer-• Acquire weather balloon (radiosonde), satellite, & aircraft data from many stations at the same time - Create maps of height and temperature for a given constant pressure surface • Standard pressure levels selected: 850, 700, 500, 300, and 2...

Air Mass -an extremely large body of air whose properties of temperature and humidity are fairly similar in any horizontal direction at any given altitude -a single air mass may cover more than a million square kilometers Source Regions -extensive areas of essentially uniform surface conditions over land or water, typically of large-scale air subsidence and lateral divergence, where air masses develop their initial properties How are air masses classified? -according to tempera...

Constant Pressure - Answer A surface in the atmosphere where the pressure is equal everywhere along that surface Higher heights=____;Lower heights=____. - Answer Warmer air;colder air Isotherms - Answer Lines of equal temperature Ridges - Answer Elongated highs where air is warmer and indicating depressions Troughs - Answer Elongated lows where air is colder. Pressure gradient force (PGF) - Answer Directed from higher towards lower pressure at right angles to the isobars; force th...

Physical Geography - Looks at the natural processes of the Earth, such as climate and plate tectonics. Human Geography - Looks at the impact and behaviour of people and how they relate to the physical world. Scientific Method - The Scientific Method looks to establish ideas, but also willing to modify, reject of change them when new evidence is found. The Scientific Method: 1. Observe 2. Form a question 3. Create Hypothesis 4. Test Hypothesis 5. Collect Data 6. Draw Conclusion The F...

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

An organism with chloroplasts in its cells is probably. a. a heterotroph b. an autotroph c. an herbivore d. a primary consumer B: Organisms that have chloroplasts in their cells carry on photosynthesis and are therefore autotrophs. Autotrophs make their own food. What property of water allows someone to fill a glass slightly above the rim without the water flowing over? a. specific gravity b. capillarity c. opacity d. surface tension D: Water molecules are polar. Due to the fact that ...
