Unit 2 Assignment Part 1:
Altitude (km) vs. Temperature (°C) in the Atmosphere
Temperature
Hint: The y-axis should range from 0-100km in 5km increments. The x-axis should be a
temperature scale from -100 to 20°C in 10-degree increments.
Use your course readings to answer the following questions:
Question 1: What is the basic composition of clean, dry air (containing no dust, smoke,
water vapor or other particulates)?
Answer Question 1 Here Nitrogen, oxygen, and trace gases like argon and carbon dioxide
Question 2: Why is the ozone layer important for life on Earth?
Answer Question 2 Here The ozone layer is important for life on earth because it is an oxygen
molecule that acts as a protection from UVB in UV light which could cause skin cancer,
cataracts, and damage to plants
Question 3: Explain the increase in temperature in the stratosphere and the decrease in
temperature in the mesosphere.
Answer Question 3 Here The increase in temperature in the stratosphere is from the ozone layer
which takes in the harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun which makes it warmer. The
decrease in temperature in the mesosphere is due to the parts of meteors that have heavy iron and
metal atoms.
Question 4: What is the relationship between altitude and air pressure?
Answer Question 4 Here The higher up you go the less air pressure you receive.
Unit 2 Assignment Part 2:
Use the assigned video clips to answer the following questions:
Question 1: What are the conditions necessary for a hurricane to form?

Question 2: What are the stages of the life cycle of a hurricane?
Answer Question 2 Here Origin. mature, and dissipation stage.
Question 3: What is the relationship between storm intensity and air pressure?
Answer Question 3 Here. The bigger the pressure difference can cause a stronger wind force.
Question 4: Choose one of the storms from the Hurricane History video clip. With web
research and from what you learned in the video, answer the following: 4a. Describe the
path of the hurricane.
4b. Describe the maximum windspeeds and minimum air pressure associated with the
storm.

The Koppen Climate Classification System is the most widely used system for climate
classification across the world. There are five major climate types recognized:
A – Tropical Moist Climates
B – Dry Climates
C – Moist Mid-Latitude Climates with Mild Winters
D – Moist Mid-Latitude Climates with Cold Winters
E – Polar Climates
Visit the
PhysicalGeography.net website
to read the characteristics for each of the climate types:
Question 1: Classify each of the three locations based on the Koppen Climate descriptions
and describe the characteristics you identified to make your choices.
Answer Question 1 Here
New York florida and pureto rico and
is considered a wet and dry A-
and B- .
Question 2: Compare and contrast the three regions. What do they have in common? How
are they different? Explain.
Answer Questions 2 Here They all are tropical; climates over 18 Celsius.
Question 3: Explain the difference between climate and weather based on your course
readings and background knowledge.
Answer Question 3 Here Climate is the long term effect on the earth. Weather is based on a
certain area.
