Delimiter between question and answer:

Tips:

  • No column headers.
  • Each line maps to a question.
  • If the delimiter is used in a question, the question should be surrounded by double quotes: "My, question","My, answer"
  • The first answer in the multiple choice question must be the correct answer.

True or false; Hurricanes are a type of cyclone and are due to the coriolis effect.
TRUE!!
What 3 things does the Coriolis effect influence?
Weather, wind patterns, and wind directions
What is the Coriolis effect?
The Coriolis effect is the result of Earth's rotation on weather patterns and ocean currents.
What is differential heating?
Differential heating is The sun's uneven heating of the Earth.
How does the sun cause air currents?
Air currents are caused by the sun's uneven heating of the Earth.
Where do air currents flow?
Air currents flow in the atmosphere, the layer of air surrounding the Earth.
What are air currents?
Air currents are the flowing movement of air within a larger body of air.
Is air a fluid?
Yes! If it flows, its a fluid. Air is a fluid.
What is wind?
Wind is moving air.
What is a current?
A current is a steady, predictable flow of fluid within a larger body of that fluid.
What is radiation?
Radiation is the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves.
What is convection?
Convection is the transfer of energy in a fluid by movement of the heated molecules.
What is conduction?
Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy by direct contact.
What is the cause of current climate change?
The cause of current climate change is largely human activity, like burning fossil fuels, like natural gas, oil, and coal.
How do greenhouse gases affect climate change?
Greenhouse gases trap heat from the Sun’s infrared rays which makes a blanket of warmth around the Earth.
What are greenhouse gases?
Gases that can absorb infrared rays and heat up the atmosphere.
What are infrared rays?
A type of radiant energy that's invisible to human eyes but that we can still feel as heat.
What is one example of convection?
Remember convection is hot and cold fluids mixing.
What is one example of Radiation?
Remember radiation is electromagnetic waves like rays of sunshine.
What is one example of conduction?
Remember that conduction must have direct contact!
