Sydney Klay - Lab #4
c)
Make sure the legend is displayed. (1)
-
Okey Dokey Artichokey
d)
Describe the temperature patterns over the Lower 48 States.
Consider the
effect of elevation, latitude (north-south location), and location near large
bodies of water. (3)
-
The northern states are much colder than the states in the south. Although,
only Florida and parts of California are warm while states by Texas have
cooler temperatures. Also, the states in the Northwest are a lot cooler
because they have a higher elevation compared to the Eastern states.
e)
Consult your textbook.
Explain WHY variations in the troposphere elevation
affects temperature. (2)
-
Variations in the Troposphere elevations affects temperature because as the
elevation gets higher, the pressure gets lower which means that the air does not
get as much heat transferred by radiation since it has a higher elevation.
3)
Using the skills gleaned from this exercise, submit another screen capture but
this time (be sure the legend is included in the screen capture):
a)
Select a different basemap, one that you like. (1)
-
You got it! I chose “Terrain with Labels”
b)
Use a different color scheme to represent temperature; one that you like. (1)
-
Wonderful I chose “Purple and Yellow 5”
