The movement of wind flows in this direction
A 100
What is horizontal?
A 100
These are normally found near the equator, where there is little wind but daily rain
A 200
What are doldrums?
A 200
These winds are found at the highest latitudes and travel
from northeast to southwest if coming from the north pole
A 300
What are polar easterlies.
A 300
These winds are found between the equator and 30
degrees latitude North or South. They always blow
towards the equator
A 400
What are trade winds?
A 400
They can be found between 30 degrees and 60 degrees latitude North or South and
always blow towards the poles
A 500
What are the prevailing westerlies?
A 500
The process of warm air rising and cold air sinking
creates circulating patterns of wind known as this
B 100
What is convection currents?
B 100
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
What is the Coriolis Effect?
B 200
This local weather pattern often results when cool air
from the water is blown onto land
B 300
What is a sea breeze?
B 300
An event resulting from the warming of the Pacific Ocean
by several degrees
B 400
What is El Nino?
B 400
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
What is a land breeze?
B 500
The weather often associated with this symbol
C 100
What is fair, dry conditions?
C 100
The name for this symbol
C 200
What is a stationary front?
C 200
Often results when warm air rises and wind blows in a
counterclockwise direction
C 300
What is a low pressure system?
C 300
Provide the name for this symbol and identify the
weather associated with it
C 400
What is a warm front that usually brings days of steady
rain or snow?
C 400
Describe what happens during an occluded front
C 500
What is two cold air masses move toward one another
with a warm air mass between them, which causes
the warm air to rise, closing it off from the surface?
C 500
Used to measure air pressure
D 100
What is a barometer?
D 100
Individuals who study weather patterns to forecast and predict future weather
conditions for different areas
D 200
Who are meteorologists?
D 200
Used to measure the humidity in an area
D 300
What is a psychrometer?
D 300
Measures wind speed and direction
D 400
What is an anemometer?
D 400
Provides images of global wind patterns, tectonic activities, and erosional
patterns
D 500
What is a satellite map?
D 500
E 100
the whole mass of air surrounding the earth:
the air of a locality
E 100
What is atmosphere?
vertical columns or mounds of water at the
surface and the flow around
E 200
What are gyres?
E 200
E 300
The rising of cold, usually nutrient-rich waters from the ocean depths to the warmer,
sunlit zone at the surface
E 300
What is upwelling?
a relatively warm ocean current flowing northeastwards off the Atlantic coast of the US from the Gulf of Mexico
E 400
What is the Gulf Stream?
E 400
E 500
Water movement which extends to depths of 3-10 feet
often creating by wind dragging along the top of
water
E 500
What is surface current?
F 100
This is what happens to trade winds and water during an El
Nino Event
F 100
What is trade winds weaken and reverse, while water heats
up and flows back to the Coast of South America?
F 200
Explain how the Gulf Stream would affect Iceland and
Northern European Countries
F 200
What is it would cause warmer climates due to the
water radiating heat?
F 300
A hurricane becomes weaker due to this
F 300
What is losing warm, moist air/water?
F 400
Of the following, choose the one would release heat faster
than any other surface
•Sahara Desert
•Lake Eerie
•Mississippi River
•Tropical Rainforest
F 400
What is the Sahara Desert?
This air mass will have moist cold air.
F 500
What is maritime polar?
F 500
The Final Jeopardy Category is:
Please record your wager.
Click on screen to begin
Air masses tend to travel from the polar regions to the equator.
Explain why
Click on screen to continue
What is air will always flow from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure and therefore, the cold dense air will move towards the equator to replace the warm,
less dense air that is rising?
