GEOG 205 Lecture : GEOG 205 Review Session.docx
Document Summary
Anomaly calculations: you make a baseline so that it is easier to compare values/temperature on a plus or negative sense. El nino relates to shifts in itcz: happens in spring when there is a lessening of trade winds remember: there are less nutrients because there are phytoplankton that are growing and take up the nutrients. We rejected this once we got carbon-14 dating. Know how to be able to pick out biomes on a map, and their relation to carbon sinks** Deforestation & rainfall: plants transpire water, deforestation causes a decrease in water transpiration the water is then going into the atmosphere it falls as rain. Hadley cells look at midterm review for this convection (relation to hadley cells) & orthographic (mountain) air cells. Global climate models: used to study earth systems, can predict future forecasts they project future climates (don"t forecast)
