| Please help me with these earth science questions. And please dont say do your homeowork i really need help!? 1. What climatic zone are we in here in Pennsylvania? polar dry temperate continental moldy 2. Although Denver is higher in elevation than New York City, the differences in the weather is not due to elevation. True False 3. Many deserts are of the the result of a rainshadow. Where do rainshadows occur? a. under trees in the desert where the rain does not reach b. on the leeward side of mountain ranges c. when the sun causes a cloud shadow on a mountain slope d. on windward sides of mountain ranges 4. In which direction do the prevailing winds blow? from west to east from north to south over the pole and toward the oceans from the Atlantic Ocean coast to the Pacific Ocean (east to west) 5. What else in addition to temperature determines the climate of a region? precipitation humidity atmospheric pressure temperature alone determnes the climate of a region 10 points for the person who answers all the questions!! and i am so sorry A biome is a group of ecosystems with similar climate and organisms. True False Weather and climate are the same thing. They both occur where you live. True False 2. Climate determines the biomes in an area. True False |

| 1. temperate continental 2. true (Denver is inland, NYC is coastal-water has a mediating effect on temperature) 3. B-air moving toward a mountain rises, cools, reaches its dew point and then rains on the Windward side of the mountain. That leaves dry air to move over the leeward side of the mountain. 4. from west to east- I feel that this question is confusing. If one considers that there are global wind belts, then the prevailing wind would be determined by the latitude of your location. The reason I picked west to east is because that is the direction is which weather tends to move in the USA. It is also the direction of the jet stream movement. 5. precipitation, humidity(especially in the Arctic) True False-weather is the day to day conditions while climate is the weather over an extended period of time, True |
