Exam 7: Global Climates and Climate Change

The air mass source region labeled 3 on this map would produce _______ air masses.

The air masses that typically affect a region play an important role in determining its climate.

On this map, the region(s)labeled 2 have a _______ climate.

Describe a climograph for a station in the wet equatorial climate, such as Iquitos, Peru.

The temperature pattern found in the marine west-coast climate is best described as being:

Group II (mid-latitude)climates are strongly influenced by the frontal interactions between traveling air masses.

The temperature pattern found in the wet-dry tropical climate is:

Climate groups are divided into three zones by latitude: the low-, mid- and high-latitude groups.

Describe and explain the characteristics of the tundra climate.

The _______ climate zone is characterized by the alternation of a very dry summer and a mild, rainy winter.

The low-latitude climate group is primarily influenced by continental tropical, maritime tropical, and ___________ air masses.

As the ITCZ migrates across the low latitudes during the year, it brings with it heavy cloud cover and precipitation.

Which of the following is not a temperature regime label?

Types of monthly precipitation patterns include:

The air mass source region labeled 5 on this map would produce _______ air masses.

The mid-latitude climates are strongly influenced by frontal interactions between cold and warm air masses.

Mean monthly temperatures in wet equatorial climates typically range between 26ᵒ and 29ᵒC .

Highland climates tend to be moist because of orographic precipitation.

Climate is the annual cycle of prevailing weather conditions at a given place, based on statistics taken over a long period.

The graph that best depicts the seasonal variability in precipitation found in the tropical desert precipitation regime is number ____.
