Weather Affect on Crust Features
18
convection currents: Winds caused by the movement of heated air and the replacement of cold air.
ocean currents: A continuous, directed movement of ocean water.
jet stream: A fast flowing, narrow air current found in the atmospheres.
gyre: Any large system of rotating ocean currents.
gulf stream: A strong, fast moving, warm ocean current that originates in the Gulf of Mexico.
high pressure: An area where the pressure on the surface of the earth is greater than its environment.
low pressure: A region where the atmospheric pressure is lower than its surrounding locations.
front: A boundary separating two masses of air of different densities.
La Nina: During this time period, the sea surface temperature across the equator will be cooler.
El Nino: A band of anomalously warm ocean water temperatures.
hurricanes: A tropical cyclone, occurring in the North Atlantic Ocean of the Northeast Pacific Ocean.
tsunami: A series of water waves caused by the displacement of a large volume of a body of water.
air mass: A volume of air defined by its temperature and water vapor content.
topographic map: Detailed graphic representation of cultural and natural features on the ground.
canyon: A deep ravine between cliffs often carved from the landscape by a river.
delta: Landform formed at the mouth of a river.
mountains: Large landforms that stretch above the surrounding area usually in the form of a peak.
weathering: The breaking down of rocks, soils, and minerals through contact with the Earth's elements.
