Global Atmospheric circulation is the M___________ of A____ around the E______.
Movement/Air/Earth
Global Atmospheric circulation is the movement of air around the earth.
I______________ is the amount of solar r___________ a place on the earth gets.
Insolation/Radiation
Insolation is the amount of solar radiation a place on the earth gets.
Due to the ____ and shape of the earth, different places receive different amounts of ______energy, meaning the temperature of the earth is u__________.
Tilt/Solar/Unequal
Due to the tilt and shape of the earth, different places receive different amounts of solar energy, meaning the temperature of the earth is unequal.
Because all natural systems want to achieve e________________, the heat is r______________by atmospheric circulation. This movement c_______ global weather and climate.
Equilibrium/Redistributed/Causes
Because all natural systems want to achieve equilibrium, the heat is redistributed by atmospheric circulation.
Global Atmospheric C____________helps explains the C_________zone L__________ and therefore the P___________of global ecosystems.
Circulation/Climate/Locations/Pattern
Global Atmospheric circulation helps explains the climate zone location and therefore the pattern of global ecosystems.
H______ pressure air goes to l______ pressure air.When they meet, it forms a depression or r____. The air is split into three "c____" in the earth.
High/low/rain/cells
Hot air is high pressure air, which goes to low pressure air, which is cool air. When they meet, it rains. The air is split into three "cells" in the earth,
The Hadley cell is the global onvection current that goes from ____-____ to __ degrees north and south. It circulates towards the ____________. It forms high pressure clouds at the 30 degree point, forming d__________s.
40 to 30/0/Equator/Deserts
The Hadley cell is the global convection current that goes from 40/30 to 0 degrees north and south. It goes towards the equator. It forms high pressure clouds at the 30 degree point, forming deserts
The Polar cell is the global convection current that goes from the Poles to ___-___ degrees north and south. The cold high pressure air circulates towards the equator. It forms a P______ F_____t (A b_________ between the warm air of the Ferrel Cell)
70 to 60 /Towards/Polar front/Barrier
The Polar cell is the global convection current that goes from the Poles to 70 to 60 degrees north and south. The cold high pressure air spins towards the equator. It forms a polar front (barrier between the warm air of the Ferrel Cell)
The Ferrel cell is the global convection current that is b_________the other two cells. It spins a_______ from the equator. The warm air meets with the cold air of the Polar cell and a depression (______) is formed.
Between/Away/Rain
The Ferrel cell is the global convection current that is between the other two cells. It spins away from the equator. The warm air meets with the cold air of the Polar cell and a depression (______) is formed.
The Coriolis effect (The force that preserves the spin of a free moving objects like wind) d__________ it due to the equator being s______ or f______ than the spin of the object as the earth rotates.
Deflects/slower/faster
The Coriolis effect (The force that preserves the trajectory spin of a free moving objects-wind) deflects it due to the equator being slower or faster than the spin of the object as the earth rotates.
