Tap to flip Answer Heatwaves in summer and very cold conditions in winter. Question What is a depression? Tap to flip Answer An area of low pressure characterised by rain, wind and cloud. Question How are the windy conditions of a depression shown on a weather map? Tap to flip Answer By closely spaced isobars. Question How long does the passage of a depression over the UK typically last? Tap to flip Answer Between 1 and 5 days. Question What is an air mass? Tap to flip Answer A mass of air with the same levels of temperature, humidity and pressure. Question What is a weather front? Tap to flip Answer The boundary between a warm air mass and a cold air mass. Question What are isobars? Tap to flip Answer Lines on weather maps joining areas with the same air pressure. Question On what kind of chart, used by meteorologists, can weather forecasts be displayed? Tap to flip Answer A synoptic chart. Question Which three sources of evidence are analysed to study past climate change? Tap to flip Answer Ice cores, tree rings and the instrumental record. Question What is global warming? Tap to flip Answer An increase in Earth's average temperature over a long period of time. Question Besides global warming, what else can climate change involve? Tap to flip Answer Global cooling. Question What is the greenhouse effect? Tap to flip Answer The retention of heat in the atmosphere caused by a build-up of greenhouse gases. Question Since when has human activity been blamed for climate change? Tap to flip Answer Since the industrial revolution.
