Triangular height(triangle at the height)

Question 2

deciduous trees

Answer 2

Deciduous trees, on the other hand, shed their broad, flat leaves annually, typically in the fall, and reproduce using flowers that develop into fruits or nuts.

Question 3

coniferous tree

When the water flows along the surface of the mound

Question 17

Water table

Answer 17

The area above the zone of saturation. this line can change

Question 18

Zone of saturation

Answer 18

Where there is too much water to handle causing there to be no more water able to enter the area

Question 19

Ground water flow

Answer 19

The flow of water into seas when it is in the zone of saturation

Question 20

Answer 20

The flow of water into the sea when it is in the water table

Question 21

Percelation

Answer 21

When water gradually moves through porous rock

Question 22

Infiltration

Answer 22

When the water seeps into the ground

Question 23

Dip slope

Answer 24

The slope connecting the dip slope and the lower piece of land

Question 25

Vale

Answer 25

A vale is a long depression in the land, usually between two hills and containing a river

Question 26

Answer 26

Moderate (goldilock biome) and is very consistent

Answer 28

Very cold and icy with only a few grass patches

Question 29

Taiga / boreal forest

Answer 29

cold, long winters and short, cool summers with low rainfall

Question 30

Things that affect our temp

Answer 30

Latitude, altitude, continentality, gulf stream

Question 31

How does latitude affect temp?

Answer 31

The higher latitude, the more the atmosphere is spread thin as well as the more the sun's rays are spread out

Question 32

How does altitude affect temp?

Answer 32

every 100 metres up = -1 degrees celsius

Question 33

How does continentality affect temp?

Answer 33

Water holds in heat creating a better goldilock biome, if there is no water near, there will be more extremes.

Question 34

How does the gulf stream affect our temp?

Answer 34

It gives us warm air most of the time.

Question 35

Convectional rainfall

Answer 35

The sun heats up the ground, the ground heats up the air causing hot air to rise with water molecules to rise, the air rises to high in the atmosphere creating big clouds. This happens in tropical areas.

Question 36

Frontal rainfall

Answer 36

The cold front pushes the warm front up causing moist air to quickly rise and water vapour to condense. This happens in places like here

Question 37

Orographic(relief) rainfall

Answer 37

Warm moist air follows the route of the mountain, it is forced up quickly with the water in it, the water molecules condense and fall on the mountain, dry air is left coming out. This happens near the west of England

Question 38

Hurricane Sandy key facts

Answer 38

60 billion dollars to US but 65 billion to all countries affected About 250 deaths Power cuts on islands Outbreaks in Haiti Subways flooded 12 feet storm surge Was briefly a category 2 hurricane

Question 39

Coniferous tree adaptations

Answer 39

Branches curved downward to allow snow to fall off Spikey leaves to prevent water loss Protective seed balls to protect the seed thick bark to insulate Wide shallow roots

Question 40

Depression

Answer 40

An area of low air pressure

Question 41

Anticyclone

Answer 41

An area of high air pressure

Question 42

Stage 1 of a depression

Answer 42

Warm front not here yet, quite cold, starts to decrease in air pressure, clouds begin to thicken, no rainfall

Question 43

Stage 2 of a depression

Answer 43

Warm front nearing, temperatures begin to rise, air pressure continues to decrease, low thick nimbostratus clouds and there begins to have steady rainfall

Question 44

Stage 3 of a depression

Answer 44

Warm front over us. mild temperatures, pressure begins to stay steady, clouds begin to thin and break up, there is a drizzle but no heavy rainfall

Question 45

Stage 4 of a depression

Answer 45

Cold front over us now, temperatures suddenly drop, pressure begins to rise, thick cumulonimbus clouds with heavy rain and a chance of thunder or hail

Question 46

Stage 5 of a depression

Answer 46

Cold front is basically over us apart from in the sky, temperatures stay cold, pressure continues to rise, thin and low cumulus clouds with some small showers
