Which ocean zone does sunlight penetrate
Which air masses have the greatest effect on weather conditions in much of the US
continental polar and maritime tropical
The weather behind a cold front is dominated by
Along a front which type of air is always forced upward
What stage happens first in the life cycle of a middle-latitude cyclone
AIR Flows counterclockwise
Which air mass often originates as a different air mass in Siberia and is subsequently altered
Which animal would have the greatest chance of survival
one that fed through a food web
Do maritime air masses form over land
No. If something is maritime, then it has to do with the ocean.
Maritime air masses form over water.
What is the net inward movement of air in a surface low pressure system that causes the air mass to shrink
The effect is called horizontal convergence.
How do animals survive along the deeper parts of the seafloor
Which type of condensation nuclei are most likely to cause clouds to form
Cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) are usually Sulfate aerosol (SO42- and methanesulfonic acid droplets).
Which is not an example of condensation nuclei
When air at the surface diverges airflow above must
Converge, regardless of hemisphere
Which factor does not help determine the height length and period of a wave
Which process produces produces rising air when mountains push the air upward
Which climate experiences seasonal periods of perpetual night
The arctic and antarctic. Actually, if you're right at the arctic circle, you won't really experience perpetual dark; it'll still be dusky light for an hour or so even a couple of degrees or more north of the arctic circle.
If you are in Antarctica at all, then your June and part of July are going to be pretty dark.
Polar
What is the shape of a middle-latitude cyclone
Mid-latitude cyclones are typically comma-shaped.
