Bio Test 3 Flashcards | Quizlet Scientists have used the fossil record to estimate the average length of time that a species inhabits the Earth How can this estimate be useful for assessing the impact of humans on the Earth's biological diversity? It can estimate how many species extinctions are caused by human activity
ESS2. D: Weather and Climate - The Wonder of Science Weather is the minute-by-minute to day-by-day variation of the atmosphere’s condition on a local scale Scientists record the patterns of the weather across different times and areas so that they can make predictions about what kind of weather might happen next
How do weather observations become climate information? Climate scientists quantify long-term average conditions for each date of the year by calculating the average (mean) of observed temperature, precipitation, humidity, and others At the beginning of every new decade, NOAA scientists calculate official Climate Normals for the previous three decades
All About Climate - Education The most familiar features of a region ’s climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Changes in day-to-day, day-to-night, and seasonal variations also help determine specific climates
Chapter 9 – Investigating Earths Systems We frequently hear about how scientists are observing changing climate patterns This means the long term average conditions of temperature and precipitation for specific locations are changing
Which describes the average conditions of the atmosphere in one area . . . When we talk about the average conditions of the atmosphere in one area over a long period of time, we refer to climate Unlike weather, which describes short-term atmospheric conditions like temperature and precipitation, climate focuses on long-term trends and patterns
18. 1: Climate Systems and Change - Geosciences LibreTexts A climate zone results from the climate conditions of an area: its temperature, humidity, amount and type of precipitation, and the season A climate zone is reflected in a region’s natural vegetation
CHAPTDER 16 REVIEW Flashcards | Quizlet In a warmer world, enhanced evaporation of water should lead to greater worldwide average precipitation Some models predict that the jet stream will weaken and global winds will shift from their "normal" position
Weather Fundamentals - average, low, world, daily, high, The earths . . . It should be remembered that at the surface, warm temperatures to a great extent determine low pressure, and cold temperatures determine high pressure It should also be recalled that seasonal temperature changes over continents are much greater than over oceans
