Physical geography
Attached to the door is a sign - 'Quiet. Examination in progress'.
Questions to chose from:
1. Discuss at least four controls on climate. Give examples of each one. How is the climate in Massachusetts affected by each of these controls. Be sure to conclude with your geographic opinion of this topic.
2. Discuss “Global Warming,” including: greenhouse gases emitted by human activities, the time period of the enhanced greenhouse effect, the differences between the warming in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, and the extent of warming/cooling for different regions on Earth. Include a discussion of the outcome of this global warming. Include a brief discussion of how sure the experts are about global warming. What can be done to decrease global warming?
3. Discuss how weathering and mass wasting affect the rock cycle. Define weathering and mass wasting. Discuss the 3 types of weathering (mechanical, chemical, and biological) and include examples of each one. Finally, describe how creep, falls, flows, slides and slumps cause mass wasting.
4. Describe the formation of glaciers and what causes them to advance (grow) and recede (melt). Why are mountain glaciers important for people living in the climate zone. Name two landforms produced after a glacier melts back toward the poles. What will happen to glaciers and global sea-level if Global Warming continues.
(So, how did you do?)
