Document Summary
Chapter 10 review: tsmt, troposphere (closest to surface) weather originates. Main layer of atmospheric circulation: stratosphere ozone layer, mesosphere meteoroids burn, thermosphere: northern lights. Evaporation (ordered to unordered state): consumes energy. Condensation (unordered to ordered state): releases energy: convection cells are formed as a result of changes in. Be sure to understand the relationship between these 3 factors and what cause air to be circulated in convection cells. Adiabatic process: occurs without addition or subtraction of heat from external source: understand the relationship between water vapour (humidity) and the. Convection currents: more of sun"s heat warms the equator more than the poles causing uneven heating. Hot air from equator rises and at troposphere spreads outward in direction of both poles as air travels it becomes cooler and heavier and sinks and flows back to equator. Belts: the break up of the flow of the air between the equator and the poles.
