5. • City A is surrounded by bodies of
water and a moderate climate. It is
located near the equator. What will
likely affect the climate of the city
A.Latitude
B.Altitude.
C.Topography
D.All of the above
6. 2. What happens to the temperature of
the air when altitude increases?
A.remains the same
B.increases
C.decreases
D.varies
7. 3.Which of the following BEST
describes climate?
A.The weather that occurs in the
the atmosphere within the day
B.The pattern of weather that occurs
in a region over a long period of
time
C.The pattern of weather that occurs
in a region over a short period of
time
D.The disturbance in the atmosphere
that happens in a long period of
time
8. 4.Why are the coldest places on earth
found at the poles?
A.Great amount of gaseous particles
trap heat from the surface
B.Great amount of thermal radiation
is received by these areas
C.Less amount of thermal radiation is
received by these areas
D.Less amount of gaseous particles
trap heat from the surface
9. 5.What will happen when the rates of
evaporation and condensation are
equal?
A.Clouds form
B.The dew point is reached
C.The humidity increases
D. Precipitation occurs

16. From which
latitude zone was
these pictures
taken?
Tell whether the temperature
of the zone is warm or cold.
30. Is caused by the unequal
heating of the Earth’s surface.
1. Low pressure is warm,
moist air.
It raises and forms clouds.
2. High pressure is cold, dry
air.It sinks and creates clear
skies.
Air Pressure
32. Create a phenomenon called the
Orographic Effect or Rainshadow.
The rainshadow helps create deserts
Ex. Sierra Nevada mountains in CA
receive nice amounts of precipitation,
Las Vegas, NV is in the rainshadow
creating a desert climate.
Mountain Barriers
34. This rainshadow region in India was created
by the presence of the Western Ghats mountain
range, which blocks the monsoon(seasonal)
winds from the west.
36. Based on
the location
of Quito,
Ecuador,
what type of
climate do
you think it
should
have?
What about
Guayaquil,
Ecuador?
37. • As elevation increases,
temperature decreases.
1. For every thousand feet the
temperature drops 3.6°F
• In a highlands climate, lower
elevation means more vegetation
Elevation
39. • Large bodies of water are slower
to heat and cool than land.
• As a result, water temps. remain
stable, and land temps. change
frequently.
• Coastlines have stable
temperatures.
• The Interior of the continent has
extreme temperatures (hotter
and colder
Continental Location
42. • Ocean currents are giant rivers of
seawater flowing within oceans.
• Ocean currents flow in circular paths:
1. Warm currents carry water from
low to high latitudes. These make
land nearby warmer.
2. Cool currents carry water from
high to low latitudes. These make
land nearby colder

45. • The wind is the movement of air
from high pressure to low
pressure
(like when you poke a hole in a
tire.)
1. Trade Winds
2. Westerlies
3. Polar Wind
Wind Belts
48. • Occur during low pressure
conditions.
• Storm fronts occur when two air
masses with different
temperatures meet. (cold meats
warm)
1. Thunderstorms
2. Tornadoes
3. Hurricanes

56. On a world map, locate the two
warmest and coldest cities in the table.
Determine what affects the regional
temperature for each city. Record your
findings. Then answer the following
questions
Guide Question:
1. Which City had the highest
temperature?
2. What factor do you think is the cause of
high temperature in that city?
