GEO 155 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Biogeography, Allelopathy, Jet Stream
Document Summary
Humid continental and subarctic climates: marine west coast (north america, deserts: very dry, steppes: less dry subtropical desert, includes subtropical desert and midlatitude desert. Needleleaf evergreen forest (no explanation for why it"s there, i. e. washington state) High latitude, less cold, humid, often unstable: occluded front. High latitude, less cold, humid, often unstable climate, topography, soil, biotic interactions, and disturbance. A graph that shows temperature and precipitation at a specific location: atmospheric instability. Made by combining cold front with warm front. When air gets sucked up by the jet stream: tropical savanna, warm all year, wet summer, dry winter, itcz shifts away and makes it a dry in the winter. Drought-deciduous trees suppresses change in the atmosphere: disturbances. Warm and cold air chasing each other in giant circles over the oceans, caused by trade winds and coriolis: convective uplifts. Water in soil and vegetation: severe midlatitude (d classification) A graph that shows temperature and precipitation at a specific location: describing soil.
