What is the Gulf Stream? - Answer What is the thermocline? - Answer The area where there is a rapid temperature decrease with a depth of a few hundred meters below the surface How does oceanic temperature vary with depth? - Answer Warmest temperature found near surface (absorbs solar radiation) Then thermocline (temperature decreases rapidly) Deep ocean waters are only a few degrees above freezing What is upwelling? How does it affect oceanic temperature? - Answer Vertical transport ...

Weather correct answers refers to the state of the atmosphere (physical conditions) at any given time or place Climate correct answers describes the "average weather" of a region The standard averaging period is 30 years according to the WMO What is the most abundant gas in the atmosphere? correct answers Nitrogen What are the major components of the atmosphere? correct answers nitrogen: 78% oxygen: 21% trace gasses (includes argon, carbon dioxide): 1% What are the variable comp...

What is the pressure gradient defined as? - -The rate of pressure change in a direction perpendicular to the isobars What type of vertical atmospheric circulation is associated with a low-pressure system? - Air will ascend (insufficient pressure to keep air at the surface) and try to converge at the center of the lowpressure, which also produces wind Define Atmospheric Pressure (Barometric Pressure) - -Pressure exerted on a surface by the atmosphere due to the weight of the column of air di...

What is air pressure defined as? - Answer-The weight of air above a given level At higher elevations, there is less air molecules and pressure decreases. - Answer-True Does pressure decrease rapidly from the surface? - Answer-Yes Pressure is dependent on what? - Answer-Temperature and density of the air Pressure, temperature, and density are related through what? - Answer-The ideal gas law If two columns of air are the same height and have the same surface pressure they must have ...

Correct Answer is C Rationale: A common complication of acetylcysteine administration is bronchospasm. When respiratory difficulties occur during a Mucomyst treatment, suspect bronchospasm and administer a bronchodilating agent. 4) An intubated patient's secretions tend to become thicker and harder to mobilize in which of the following conditions? 1. Absolute humidity of 18 mg H2O/L of gas 2. 48 mg of H2O/L of gas 3. Relative humidity of 100% at 25° C 4. A H2O vapor pressure of 47 ...
