Q I Name the following :
1. Atmospheric condition over a short period of time, over a small area. Weather
2. Degree of hotness or coldness. Temperature
3. Instrument used to measure wind speed. Anemometer
4. The force of the Earth’s rotation, which causes wind deflection. Coriolis force
Q II Correct the underlined parts of the following statements :
1. Local winds are also known as seasonal winds.
Periodic winds are also known as seasonal winds.
2. The torrid zone is the hottest zone because it receives direct rays of the sun.
3. Maximum solar heat is received at the equator.
4. As we move away from the equator, the temperature decreases.
5. Trade winds blow from north east in the northern hemisphere
What effect does global warming have on weather?
Global warming is increasing the frequency and intensity of some types of
extreme weather. For example, warming is causing more rain to fall in heavy
downpours. There are also longer dry periods between rainfalls. This, coupled
with more evaporation due to higher temperatures, intensifies drought. Wet
places have generally become wetter, while dry places have become drier.
Heat waves have become more frequent and intense, while very cold days
have decreased
Rocky mountains: There are three primary factors that contribute to Alaska's
Climate:
Latitude: Given the high latitude environment, the state experiences extreme
seasonal variability in solar radiation.
Ocean currents: A significant portion of Alaska is influenced by ocean waters
and the seasonal distribution of sea ice.
Elevation: The altitude above sea level influences the climate of a given area.
Lower elevations in interior Alaska, such as the Yukon Flats and the Tanana
Valley experience extreme cold in the winter as well as high summertime
temperatures. However, locations only a few hundred feet above the surface
can be significantly warmer..
Alaska:
The Rocky Mountains have unpredictable weather which can change rapidly.
Elevation: As with other highland climates, the climate changes with increasing
altitude. In general, the Rockies have mild summers, cold winters and a lot of
precipitation.
Latitude: Along the great north-south extent of the mountains, the climate of
the Rockies extends from the northern fringe of the subtropical zone in the far
south to the Arctic in the far north.
The Northern Rockies tend to receive precipitation more evenly throughout the
year from Pacific cyclonic storms.
