Question 1 Provide a discussion of the characteristics of the six air mass classifications. Viewing Figure 7-1, which specific source region supplies the moisture for winter snows in the north Georgia mountains? Question 2 What are the different kinds of fronts? Include in your discussion a. how they are created, b. cross-sectional slope profiles, and c. what clouds develop along the fronts [Refer to the animation titled "Cold Fronts and Warm Fronts"]. (Refer to the animation titled “Cold Fronts and Warm Fronts.”) Question 3 What weather changes normally occur with the passage of a cold front? (Refer to the animation titled “Midlatitude Cyclones.”) Question 4 Describe the four components of movement of a midlatitude cyclone. Why in the conterminous United States do these cyclones move generally from west to east? Question 5 Compare and contrast the midlatitude cyclone to the tropical cyclone (hurricane), for each one of the five characteristics listed below. (Refer to the animation titled “Hurricanes.”) Midlatitude cyclone Tropical cyclone (hurricane) latitude of origin direction of movement wind speed range season of occurrence source of energy Question 6 Discuss the general sequence of thunderstorm development and dissipation. Question 7 What is a tornado, and what atmospheric conditions are needed for a tornado to occur? Where worldwide do most tornadoes occur? Which states have the highest incidence of tornadoes? (Refer to the animation titled “Tornadoes.”) Question 8 What information is conveyed in a climograph? Question 9 Briefly describe the major climate groups of the modified Köppen climate classification system: A, B, C, D, E, and F. What are the principal climatic characteristics that define a location as (give specific location examples for each): Question 10a tropical wet climate Question 10b tropical wet-and-dry Question 10c tropical monsoon Question 11a What countries in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres have climates similar to Athens, Georgia? Question 11b Describe, in terms of their annual temperature and precipitation patterns, the climates for the following locations: · Raleigh, North Carolina · Yuma, Arizona · Los Angeles, California · Chicago, Illinois · Sitka, Alaska Question 12 What is the general difference between a desert climate and a steppe climate? Question 13 Why are the locations found along the 30th degree north latitude dry and the locations along the equator wet? Include in your discussion the impact of wind and pressure systems on each location. Question 14 What are the Milankovitch cycles, and in what ways might they help explain past climate change? Directions for Case Study 2 Background: Case Study 2 allows the student to bring to the table a business outsourcing project that they may have gone through. If this is the case, please do not use real names of either the company or individuals in the paper. If you have not gone through this process, then ...
