Global Wind Patterns
Wind goes from the poles (high pressure) to the equator (low pressure)
Coriolis effect
lines are curved due to the rotation of the earth
Land breeze
land cools (high pressure) - wind flows from land to the sea
Sea breeze
sea cools
High pressure system
low temperature
low pressure system
high temperature
The warmer the air - the more water vapor it can hold
air is less dense (more spaced out so it can hold more water)
Radar
know the picture that represents this - GOES is a type of radar
atmospheric pressure
higher up you are the less pressure weighs down on you
isobar
shows areas of equivalent pressure be able to read a map - know the temperature based on the pressure
synoptic chart
shows: isobars, pressure, fronts
anticyclones (high pressure system) - fair, calm weather
northern hemisphere - clockwise southern hemisphere - counter-clockwise
Cyclones (hurricane) know the following:
pressure, direction & hemisphere
cyclones (low pressure system) - bad, more windy & precipitation weather
northern hemisphere - counter-clockwise southern hemisphere
warm front
warm mass of air is moving into an area gentle rain over days
cold front
cold mass of air is moving into an area thunderstorms over hours
gentle rain over several days gives you a ___ front
warm
vestigial structures is evidence of evolution
most likely had a function at one point but no longer does - you can live without it
analogous structures
structurally different functionally the same wings of fruit fly & wing of a bat - both fly
homologous structures
do have a common (same) ancestor - structurally have the same appearance bat wing & human hand
