Document Summary
3. 1: heated gases increases kinetic energy and expands, cooled gases decrease kinetic energy and contracts. If gas is held at a constant temperature but forced to occupy a smaller volume, the pressure of the gas increases. 3. 7: coriolis effect - air in the northern hemisphere is deflected to the right, air in the. Southern hemisphere is deflected to the left - deflects faster moving objects more than slower moving objects. 4. 5: adiabatic - no energy is exchanged between an air parcel and its surroundings, the lapse rate for rising saturated air is less than unsaturated adiabatic air. 7. 6: c-type climates contain the most human activity, humid subtropical climates occur mostly along the east coasts of continents, and. Mediterranean climates occur mostly along the west coasts of continents: temperate climates are greatly affected by subtropical highs precipitation can occur more easily when the highs are farther away and/or weaker.
