CHOOSE 1 and ONLY 1 of the following two questions to answer:
1) Discuss how climate controls, such as latitude, altitude/elevation, cloud cover, and land-water heating differences can influence global temperature patterns. Provide contrasting pairs of examples for each.
Explain the Earth’s energy budget and follow the flow of energy from the Sun, into Earth’s atmosphere and to the surface, and back out into space. Make sure to provide examples (and/or values) at various steps outlined in your response.
2) Define the concept of atmospheric stability and explain how it is related to the vertical movement of air masses in the Earth’s atmosphere. Investigate and explain stable. unstable and conditionally unstable air masses.
3) Describe and define the adiabatic lapse rate(s) and explain how they are related to the change in temperature and moisture content of a parcel of air as it rises or descends in the Earth’s atmosphere. Provide real-world examples of areas influenced by these phenomena.
4) Identify and explain the components of the global water cycle. How do they interact with each other? Detail the various ways water can travel through this system. Provide real world examples.
5) What are the five major climate types in the Köppen classification system, and how are they differentiated from one another based on temperature and precipitation? Provide real world examples of each with climate type and climographs.
6)How is human activity contributing to climate change, and what are some of the key greenhouse gases that are responsible for trapping heat in the Earth’s atmosphere?
7) What are some of the likely impacts of climate change on global weather patterns, such as changes in precipitation, temperature, and extreme weather events?
