Warm Up # 9 ¾ • What are the four major limiting factors in
an open ocean biome?
• As you get deeper in an open ocean, what happens to the:• Nutrients• Sunlight• Temperature• Oxygen
• Describe the intertidal zone biome. How are certain species able to live there (how do they adapt)?
Chapters 7&8 Review
Air Patterns• Warm air rises, cold air
falls
• hot and cold air mix = temperature inversion• Storms, tornadoes, Marine Layer
• Warm Front – rush of warm air under cold air• Result: Storms (inversion)
Air Pressure and Extreme Weather
Pressure: Air likes HIGH to LOW
• Low High = storms• High Low = clear
sky
Warm water + warm wind:• Hurricanes – Atlantic• Typhoons – Pacific
Relating Heat and Humidity• Humidity = moisture in air

Hadley and Ferrel = Cold, Dry Air FALLING DESERT
Ferrel and Polar = Warm Moist Air RISING BOREAL FOREST
Other Related InfoOzone Layer/Thermal Cap•Keeps heat in, keeps UV rays out
Rain Shadow Effect •one side of mountain = moist •other side of mountain = dry
Upwelling•Cycles nutrients/cold water up
•El Nino – less upwelling/warmer waters
