Question

EARTH SCIENCE Exam 5 Earth to (A) speed up when it comes close to the equator. (B) slou de surface of come close to the equator. (C) curve away from its path of travel. (D) a straight path. The Coriolis effect is the tendency of an object moving freely over the 40. (D) continue in 41. Look at the following fictitious weather conditions: Temperature: 25°C . Dew point: 10°C . Weather conditions: Haze Air Pressure: 998.4 millibars Barometric tendency: Rising . Cloud cover: Clear Wind direction: Southwest Wind speed: 1-2 knots A. Using the formula given in your study guide, convert the temperature and devw point from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit. Show your work B. In the box below, create a station model that represents the above-listed weather conditions. Use the symbols given on page 588 of your textbook. 98 (more

Explanation / Answer

40. C is the answer.

41. T-Farenhite = T-degree *1.8+32

42. The limitations are:

1. scale only upto 5 (for wind speed >= 73 m/s) , but recent hurricane exceeds its level 5 and some scientist started to think about scale 6.

2. designed to measure the potential damage only.

43. climate change indicator are:

1. GHGs concentration increase ,

2. rise in sea surface temperature.

3. rise in sea level,

4. strengthen of unseasonal climatic disaster.

They are important for the better livelihood and economic loss. The limitations include limit understanding of the system, limited observation sites, inaccurate data, missing of paleodata, etc.

44. If global temperature rise, the biggest problem would be the availability of surface water, damage of species, uninvited climate disaster like hurricane etc.

45.

the two breezes occur along coastal areas or areas with adjacent large water bodies. like sea or bay. As we know the wind will blow from the higher pressure, ie.from the water to lower pressure over the land causing the sea breeze. The sea breeze strength will vary depending on the temperature difference between the land and the ocean. At night, the roles change to reverse. The air over the ocean is now warmer than the air over the land and the land breeze forms.

46. Mountain and valley breezes form ina similar manner to sea and land breezes. During the day, the sun heats up mountain air rapidly (as temp. are higher) while valley remains relatively cooler as compared to mountain. Convection causes it to rise the air parcel, causes a valley breeze. At night, the process got reversed and a mountain breeze is formed.

47.

stage of thunderstorm:

1. cumulus:

cloud starting to form and grow due to the rising thermal (or updraft). The rising of air parcel will begin to cool and condense as it rises upward. In case of thunderstorms, the air parcel can travel tens of thousands of feet up before it finally stops. During this stage, small raindrops started to form and try to fall; however, the wind flow plays an important role and updraft can push the raindrops higher into the cloud rather than letting them fall out.

Mature:

Now the raindrops will become large and heavy enough to fall from the cloud to the ground. This marks the beginning of the second stage (mature). The downdraft started and the cool air begins to descend from the thunderstorm. Downdrafts can change the temperature rapidly in that area in a short amount of time.During this stage heavier rain started to come to the ground.

Dissipating stage:

During this stage, the air parcel updraft is very weak or non-existent, and the downdraft is the main dominant force in the thunderstorm. The thunderstorm slowly started to die out and leaves only wispy clouds behind as evidence of its existence. This whole process usually goes very fast.

48. Good and bad ozone:

Good ozone is the ozone layer in the stratosphere which prevent us from UV rays, while if ozone stays in the troposphere it is considered as a pollutant and we called it as a bad ozone.
