Answer 6

precipitation is measured with a rain gauge.

Question 7

how is rain form

Answer 7

it is formed when the sun creates a solar radiation which heats up the land where the warm land heats the air. the air then cools and condenses

The weather is the temporary day to day change in the atmosphere while climate is the average weather condition that usually changes over 30 years.

Question 11

what is precipitation?

Answer 11

precipitation is any liquid or frozen water that forms in the atmosphere to fall back on the earth.

Question 12

what is humidity

Answer 12

humidity is the amount of water in the air

Question 13

what is temperature

Answer 13

temperature is the measure of how hot or cold something is.

Question 14

what is temperature measured with

temperature is measured with a thermometer

Question 15

elements of weather

Answer 15

wind, (precipitation: rain, snow, hail, sleet.), air pressure, clouds,sunshine

Question 16

what is humidity measured with

Answer 16

its is measured with a hygrometer

Question 17

how are clouds formed?

Answer 17

clouds are formed when invisable water vapour in the air turns into visable water droplets of ice crystals.

Question 18

examples of air pressure

Answer 18

sinlcing air, cool air, blue sky

Question 19

what is wind

Answer 19

wind is the movement of air caused by the uneven heating of the earth’s own rotation and sun.

Question 20

characteristics of the crust

Answer 20

It’s the thinnest layer, the outer layer is called the atmosphere, between 20km-70km

Question 21

what are cumulonmibus clouds

Answer 21

they are the clouds with lighting, thunder, and thunder storms

Question 22

what is plate tectonic

Answer 22

plate tectonic is the study of tectonic plates the various movements and features form as movement

Question 23

what happens a divergent plate

Answer 23

at a divergent plate boundry crustal plate are moving away from each other. which creates a small place where magma cools and rises

Question 24

what does divergent plate boundary form

Answer 24

divergent plate boundary forms a new crust.
when magma forms it can causes earth quakes and volcanoes

Question 25

what happen at a collision zone

Answer 25

at a collision zone 2 contiental plate a colliding, they dont sink so the rocks are folded upwards to form fold mountain

Question 26

examples of collision zone

Answer 26

aegean and turkish, arabian and irain plate

Question 27

what are the differences between continental and oceanic crust

Answer 27

continental carries contients while oceanic carries ocean, continental is less denser, oceanic is denser

Question 28

what happens at a convergent plate boundary

Answer 28

at a convergent plate boundary oceanic and continantal plates are colliding. The oceanic plate is more denser so it sinks into the mantle which breaks and melts creating a subduction zone.

Question 29

what happen at a subduction zone

Answer 29

at a subduction zone deep sea trenches, volient earthquakes occur. (vocanoes)

Question 30

what plate boundary has, vocanoes, earth quakes and fold mountains

Answer 30

convergent plate boundary

Question 31

what happens when contiental crust override the oceanic crust

Answer 31

It forms fold mountains

Question 32

Examples of fold mountains

Answer 32

ande and himalaya mount range

Question 33

what happens at a transform plate boundary

Answer 33

plates are sliding past each other in the same direction or in oppisite. NO crust is formed or destroyed.

Question 34

examples of transform plate boundary

Answer 34

north american & caribbean plate, north and south plate boundary.

Question 35

what is absolute location

Answer 35

its the exact or accurate location of a place.

Question 36

what does absolute location uses

Answer 36

used longitude and latitude

Question 37

what is relative location

Answer 37

It gives location relative to another
