Question

Match the term with the correct description.

Weather

Long-term patterns of temperature and precipitation

Gases in the atmosphere, especially carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrous oxides, methane, and other substances that retain heat

Seasonal reversal of wind patterns caused by differential heating and cooling rates of oceans and continents

This curving pattern results from the fact that the earth rotates in an eastward direction as winds move above it

A natural phenomena where the atmosphere transmits sunlight while trapping heat

Boundary that limits mixing between the troposphere and upper zones as air ceases to rise

Short-lived, local patterns; temperature and precipitation due to circulation of the troposphere

Boundary formed when cooler air pushes away warmer air

Boundary formed when warm air slides over cooler air

Has almost no water vapor, but 1000 times more ozone than the troposphere
