Weather Affect on Crust Features
18
Canyons:a deep valley with steep slides, often with a stream flowing through it
Mountains:natural elevations of the earth's surface rising more or less abruptly to a summit
High Pressure:having or involving a pressure above normal
Low Pressure:having or involving a pressure below normal
Tsunami: an unusually large sea wave produced by a sea quake or undersea volcanic eruption
Hurricanes:violent, tropical, cyclonic storm of the western North Atlantic having high wind speeds up to 172 mph
Gyres: ringlike systems of ocean currents rotating clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise inn the Southern Hemisphere
Jet Stream:strong, generally westerly winds concentrated in a relatively narrow and shallow stream in the upper troposphere of the earth
Gulf Stream:a relatively warm ocean current flowing northeastwards off the Atlantic coast of the US from the gulf of Mexico
Air mass:a large body of air having characteristics of temperature, moisture, and pressure that are approximately uniform horizontally
Ocean Currents:the steady flow of surface ocean water in a prevailing direction
Delta:the flat alluvial area at the mouth of some rivers where the mainstream splits up into several distributaries
Weathering:the mechanical and chemical breakdown of rocks by the action of rain, snow, cold, etc.
Fronts:boundaries between air masses of different temperatures
Convection Currents:the transfer of heat by the mass movement of heated particles into an area of cooler fluid
La Nina:a cooling of the surface water occurring somewhat less frequently than El Nino but causing similar, generally opposite disruptions to global patterns
El Nino:a warm ocean current of variable intensity that develops after late December along the coast of Ecuador and Peru and sometimes causes catastrophic weather conditions
Topographic Maps:maps showing topographic features
