3 more items...
High average annual temperatures, moderate variation in temperature, and very low precipitation
Made up of cone like trees found in Russia, North America, and Europe
Slow decomposition so low nutrient rich soil
Small trees and shrubs
Wet/dry seasons, high fertilization rate, low amounts of rain
Mixing of surface and deep water
Surface currents separating and deeper water rising replacing the rest of the water
Deep water brings nutrients to support producers and also to support the fish
Patterns of water circulation
Exosphere- First layer extending into space
Thermosphere- Hottest temperatures where aurora lights are at
Mesosphere- Coldest part where meteors burn up
Stratosphere- Contains ozone layer
Ozone Layer
Troposphere- Weather occurs here
Albedo
Weather/Climate
Hadley Cells
Coriolis Effect
Polar Cells
Cycle that rises at 60 and sinks at 90 degrees at the north and south pole
Direction of an objects path due to Earth's rotation
Cycle that happens in the equator and 30 degrees
Weather is from day to day- "How's the weather today"
Climate is the average TEMPERATURE AND PRECIPITATION over many decades
Percentage of light reflected
Higher albedo in things that are lighter colors like white
Intertropical convergence
Seasons
El Niño
A weather phenomenon in South America
Warm water goes into the Pacific Ocean causing storms, droughts forest fires in other parts of the world
Seasons happen because of Earth's tilt
If its winter in the northern hemisphere its summer in the southern hemisphere
Area that gets most intense sunlight
Two Hadley cells meet in this area
