Understanding of Concepts Assessment ? The Atmosphere Name: Directions: For each of the items, provide a comprehensive summary of your understanding of the concept. Present your responses in the mode that works the best for you: paragraphs, lists, tables, concept maps, outlines, etc. You may include diagrams and illustrations if you wish. Include additional files as needed. Your responses need to be your own work. If you use photos or other graphics from the Internet, you must provide source information. A thorough response for each item will typically consist of the equivalent of several paragraphs.

Chapter 7 biomes large terrestrial regions characterized by similar climate, soil, plants, and animals, regardless of where they are found in the world. climate an area?s general pattern of atmospheric or weather conditions measured over long periods of time ranging from decades to thousands of years. currents Prevailing winds blowing over the oceans produce mass movements of surface water called currents. desert In a desert, annual precipitation is low and often scattered unevenly throughout the year. During the day, the baking sun warms the ground and causes evaporation of moisture from plant leaves and soil. But at night, most of the heat stored in the ground radiates quickly into the atmosphere. forest systems are lands dominated by trees. grasslands

What are 3 major variables that affect our weather? WATCH THE VIDEO! Factors that affect Temperature What is moisture? Water found in one of its three forms: 1. SOLID (ICE/SNOW) 2. LIQUID (RAIN) 3. GAS (WATER VAPOR) Precipitation is moisture that FALLS from the atmosphere above. Precipitation cleans the atmosphere of condensation nuclei Why does precipitation occur? Air can only hold a certain amount of water vapor before it will overfill and condense This is known as capacity ROOM FOR ONE MORE???? What temp. air can hold more W.V.? Warm air can hold MORE water vapor WHY????? Cold air holds LESS water vapor Every 10 degree Celsius increase doubles the air?s capacity Every 10 degree Celsius decrease cuts capacity in half * * * * * * * * * * * * *

What about clouds? What are clouds? Large masses of millions of water droplets suspended in air Water evaporates from lakes, streams, and oceans and enters into the air Transpiration ? the loss of water from plants through their leaves Evapotranspiration ? combines evaporation and transpiration Example of Transpiration: Cloud Forest Steps involved in cloud formation: ?..Warm, MOIST air RISES ?.a drop in air pressure causes?.. ?.Expansion and the air Cools .... Water vapor then?.. ??..Condenses on?? ?..Condensation Nuclei (a surface upon which condensation droplets can stick on. Ex: dirt, salt, smoke) ??..Clouds form!!! Condensation Nuclei Size comparison between raindrop and condensation nuclei Cirrus clouds ? High altitude clouds Cumulus Clouds

Name: ________tyler antebi___________________________ Pg.___1 Mrs. Strype - 8 Acid Rain Internet Activity Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from the burning of fossil fuels react with water and oxygen to form acids. Rainwater is naturally slightly acidic, but this additional acid makes it even more so. Acid rain harms wildlife and upsets the balance of an ecosystem. In this activity, you'll learn what acid rain is and how you can help reduce it. Go to the website What is Acid Rain? What's the definition of acid rain? Acid rain is referring to a mixture of wet and dry materials from the atmosphere containing high amounts acid. Compare wet and dry deposition. Wet Acidic rain, Snow, Fog Acids fall in types of wet or moist weather. Dry Dust, Smoke

Physical impacts of climate change

Climate Change IPCC- established in 1988, intergovernmental panel on climate change. 2500 climate scientists, producing reports every six or so years projecting where we are in terms of the environment. Last one was in 2007 Each time a report is produced, scientists are more convinced that climate change is happening and can be attributed to human activity. -Difference between climate variability and climate change, you can get a cold year in the middle of a warming period, but the broader scale is climate change. -2-11.5? higher temperature by 2100. Can?t get it to an exact number because unless you are 100% certain, you really can?t be sure that anything will happen. Depends on CO2 emissions, parts of the globe,

ch.7

Allie Furlo APES CH. 7 Weather- a set of physical conditions of the lower atmosphere such as temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind speed, cloud cover, and other factors in a given area over a period of hours or days. Climate- an area?s general pattern of atmospheric conditions over periods of at least three decades and up to thousands of years. Weather averaged over a long period of time. Three major factors determine how air circulates in the lower atmosphere: Uneven heating of the earth?s surface by the sun. The air is more heated at the equator where the sun?s rays strike more directly than at the poles where it strikes at an angle and spreads over a greater area. Solar radiation in tropical areas greatly increases evaporation, which increases precipitation.
