4 11. Explain why summer days are longer than winter days. 12. Explain why summer days are warmer than winter days. 13. Refer to fig. 4.3 on page 56. A. Describe how solar radiation reaches Earth. B. Which labeled areas receives daylight? C. Which labeled areas are experiencing night? Read Pages Why does only about one-half of the Sun s radiation reach Earth s surface? 15. In hot deserts, cloud cover is minimal during both day and night. What kind of temperature range over a 24-hour period would you expect in such area? Explain why.
5 Read Pages Scatter graphs are used to judge how strongly two factors are correl. If the dots plotted on a scatter-graph form a straight line a perfect correlation exists. A. Plot each location in fig. 4.5 on the scatter graph provided. B. Describe the degree of correlation between latitude and temperature. State any general pattern. 17. Examine the world maps showing July and January temperatures in fig. 4.7 on page 60. Using the maps, judge how valid the following statements are. Explain why or why not. A. West coast temperatures for North America and Eurasia are colder than inland temperatures on the same latitude. B. Low latitude temperatures are always hot.
6 C. In the high latitudes, there is a great difference between summer and winter temperatures. D. In the Southern Hemisphere, January is the cooler period. Read Pages During the day, air above land is typically warmer than air above the sea. At night, however, air above land is typically cooler than air above the sea. As a result, the temperature shown in fig. 4.8 are typical of some coastal areas at certain times of the year. A. Which way would the wind blow in the daytime? B. Which way would the wind blow in the nighttime? Read Pages Explain what is meant by a prevailing wind. 20. Describe how the major pressure belts form from the Earth s six convection cells. 21. Where are the four sources of high pressure among the belts?
7 22. What are the names of the major wind systems? Area of wind Name of wind 30 degrees North to the equator 30 degrees South to the equator 30 degrees North to 60 degrees North 30 degrees South to 60 degrees South North Pole to 60 degrees North South Pole to 60 degrees South 23. Earth s rotation creates an effect known as Coriolis force. Describe how this force affects each prevailing wind system, as shown in fig on page 64. Read Pages Compare the July map in fig with the July map in fig. 4.7 on page 60. Find an example of how a prevailing wind system influences temperature. 25. Refer to fig on page 66. A. The purple arrow represents warm, moist air blowing off the sea. What forces the air to rise? B. Identify a place in the world with coastal mountains. Which major wind system brings warm moist air to this coast? C. What happens to air temperature the farther up air rises?
8 D. Based on your answer to C, what happens to air s ability to hold moisture as air rises? E. At a certain level, air becomes saturated with water vapour. It reaches a level of condensation, at which excess water vapour changes to liquid form, and clouds and rain occur. Where would you label this level of condensation on the diagram? F. When air reaches the highest point of the mountain, what happens? Describe the change in air density and air temperature. G. This side of the mountain is called the Rainshadow. What climatic conditions would you expect here? Explain. 26. Refer to fig on p.66. A. The purple arrow in the bottom left corner of the diagram represents the air in a warm, moist air mass. The air occupying the lower right area of the diagram is a cold air mass. What happens to the warm air when it comes into contact with the colder air? B. What property of the colder air would force this change? C. How does air temperature change as a result? D. Explain what the horizontal dotted line in the left hand of the diagram represents. 27. Refer to fig on p.67. A. What force causes the air to rise in this diagram? B. What label would you give the pattern of air flow illustrated by the purple section?
9 C. In which season and under what conditions would you expect this type of precipitation to occur? D. Lightning and thunder often accompany this type of rainfall. These phenomena result from static electricity, which in turn results from friction between air molecules. Why do you think this friction develops most often in this type of rainfall rather than in the other types? 28. Locate the following cities on a map of the world. Indicate whether they are inland or near the coast. City Average Annual Rainfall (mm) Edmonton, Canada 460 Inland / Near Ocean Freetown, Sierra Leone Halifax, Canada Krasnoyarsk, Russia 249 Luanda, Angola 368 Mexico City, Mexico 709 Rangoon, Burma 2616 Tbilisi, Georgia 462 A.
