Geography Chapter 7

3. Regular climate with average temperatures and precipiation
5. Concept of meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs
8. Climate zone with high humidity and rain
9. Warm moist air rises in the atmosphere.
11. Moist air is lifted as it moves up an mountain.
13. Warm air rises over cold air, cooling it down and condensing and clouds are formed. Often comes as light rain first and increases in intensity as warm air passes.
14. human development index
16. decreases as elevation increases causing low temperatures. If the moist air rises high enough into the atmosphere it will condense and fall.
17. Climate on continents far from bodies of water

1. Climate affected by big bodies of water
2. help us understand the climate in the past and study it
4. Cold climate, with low temperatures
6. Earth rotates on its axis, circulating air is deflected toward the right into the northern hemisphere and to the left into the southern hemisphere.
7. refers to daily precipitation that may change and vary daily or hourly.
10. average precipitation over centuries
12. The cold air is pushed under the warm air, creating immediate instability and uplift. The uplift of warm moist air leads to formation of cumulonimbus clouds which cause heavy precipitation. More intense but short lived. Most often comes as heavy rain or thunderstorms.
15. Hot climate with little vegetation]
