Exam 2

Question 1

Strong force (atomic structure)

Answer 1

Holds nucleus together

Question 2

Electromagnetic force (atomic structure)

Answer 2

Keeps electrons attached to nucleus, different electric charges attract them (+-)

Question 3

Covalent bond

Answer 3

When electrons are shared equally

Question 4

Ionic bonds

Answer 4

Electron stealing

Question 5

Hydrogen bond

Answer 5

Occurs when you have an H with a partially positive charge w a partially negative charge O, N, F

Question 6

5 unique properties of water

Answer 6

1. Cohesion and
2. Adhesion
3. Solubility
4. Low density
5. high specific heat

Question 7

Cohesion

Answer 7

The clinging of substance to itself bc of hydrogen bonds

Question 8

Adhesion

Answer 8

The clinging of one substance to another bc of hydrogen bonds

Question 9

Solubility

Answer 9

It’s a solvent due to its polarity

Question 10

Low density

Answer 10

Becomes less dense as it’s solid

Question 11

High specific heat

Answer 11

Heat captivity is the amount of heat needed to increase temp so water has high specific heat…water absorbs lots of heat w out increasing temp

Question 12

What does a water molecule look like

Answer 12

Mickey Mouse. Two Hydrogens on Oxygen

Question 13

How is water a di polar molecule

Answer 13

Bc it’s 2 sided (one negative and one positive)

Question 14

Hydrogen bond

Answer 14

It’s a weak bond between partially negative and positive. Kind of like a magnet

Question 15

How does solar radiation vary in ocean w latitude

Answer 15

Ocean reflects more radiation at Lower altitudes than at high altitudes

Question 16

Albedo

Answer 16

The percentage of incident radiation THAYS reflected back to space
EX ICE CAPS

Question 17

Composition of atmosphere

Answer 17

Nitrogen, Oxygen and Greenhouse gasses

Question 18

How does air move

Answer 18

Air moves from high pressure to low pressure.

Strong motherly winds in the Northern and strong in southern

Question 19

Coriolanus effect differ in northern and southern

Answer 19

Northern: object will follow a path to the right of its intended direction
Southern: an object will follow a path to the left of its intended direction

Question 20

Coriolis effect

Answer 20

Coriolanus effect causes moving objects on earth to follow curved paths

Question 21

How does velocity change w altitude

Answer 21

Spinning velocity is greater at the equator and more stable at the poles

Question 22

Weather of High air pressure

Answer 22

Nice weather

Question 23

Weather of Low Air Pressure

Answer 23

Warm and moist and brings out stormy weather w strong winds

Question 24

How does water vapor contribute to air pressure

Answer 24

Water vapor decreases the density of air and it creates low air pressure

Question 25

Air pressure w latitude

Answer 25

Poles experience high air pressure and equator experiences low air pressures

Question 26

Sea breeze

Answer 26

Occurs during the day when air warmed by the land rises and is replaced by cool air from the ocean

Question 27

Land breeze

Answer 27

Happens during the night when the land has cooled cause dense air to sing and flow toward warm ocean

Question 28

Climate vs Weather

Answer 28

Climate is the weather condition over a long period of time and weather is the short term variation in the atmosphere

Question 29

Surface currents

Answer 29

Transfer heat from warmer to cooler

Question 30

Deep ocean currents

Answer 30

Provide oxygen to deep sea

Question 31

Ocean gyres

Answer 31

A large circular loop of moving water

Question 32

Which current in subtropical gyres flow fastest

Answer 32

The Gulf Stream bc of the large wind over the North Atlantic

Question 33

Ekman spiral

Answer 33

It describes the speed and direction of seawater flow at diff depths

Question 34

Ekman transport

Answer 34

The movement of seawater due to wind

Question 35

Western intensification

Answer 35

When the top of the hill of water is displaced towards west due to earth rotation

Question 36

How do current temp influence climate

Answer 36

Warm currents warm the air and causes humid | Cool ocean currents causes dry climate

Question 37

Upwelling

Answer 37

Deep seawater rises to replace diverging surface water EX EKMAN TRANSPORT

Question 38

Downwelling

Answer 38

Surface water goes to the bottom (it carries oxygen down )

Question 39

Normal pressure conditions over equatorial pacific (el Nino)

Answer 39

ASIA-Slow pressure South America- high pressure Wind blows from east to west
