- 1This diagram represents the composition of the atmosphere. What gas is the color purple?Oxygen
- 2This diagram represents the composition of the atmosphere. What gas is the color orange?Nitrogen
- 3You can see a jet plane, meteorological phenomena, vegetation... What is this layer of the atmoshphere?Troposphere
- 4If you see this graph, are we talking about weather or climate?Climate
- 5If you see this graph, are we talking about weather or climate?Weather
- 6What are the elements of the climate?Temperature
Precipitation
Atmospheric Pressure
Wind - 7In this image, how does the proximity of the sea affect the earth's temperature?The water takes a long time to cool down, so in winter, even if the land is cold, the water is not so cold. The air that comes from the sea increases the temperature of the land.
- 8The equatorial climate is warm and rainy. Can you explain why?The area of the equator receives more solar energy than any other, hence the heat. This heat causes a lot of evaporation, which in turn forms clouds, hence the rain.
- 9What is the name of this utensil?Pluviometer
- 10Say which of these images corresponds to high pressure and which to low pressure.Left: Low Pressure
Right: High Pressure
- 11In this image, what do the numbers 1 and 2 represent? Justify your answer1) High Pressure: Isobars are wider (because there's little wind so weather is stable) and milibars are higher than 1013.
2) Low pressure: Isobars are together and narrower (because there's much wind so weather is unstable) and milibars are lower than 1013
- 12What type of vegetation prevails in this picture?Woodlands or Forest
- 13What type of vegetation prevails in this picture?Scrublands
