Karst Topography: irregular topography with sinkholes, sinks and sinking streams caused by groundwater dissolution of limestone.

Section 1:Altitude: Imagine that you are driving up into the Rocky Mountains, from Topeka, KS (altitude 800′ above sea level) to Eagle, CO (altitude 6500′). You are traveling along 39°N latitude, so the only significant change is in altitude. Describe how you would expect the climate to change as you went up in altitude by about 6,000 feet - making sure to explain why you’d expect this change. I’m primarily interested in temperature changes here, but anything else you could add would be greatly appreciated.The two major climate factors you are going to look at are temperature and humidity–what happens to these two characteristics as you make your trip.
Section 2:Latitude: Imagine this time that you are flying along over land at a consistently low altitude from the Equator to the North Pole. [Yes, I know it may not actually be possible, but I said Imagine, didn't I?] This time the only significant change is in latitude. Describe how you would expect the climate to change as you went up in latitude from the equator to the pole - making sure to explain why you’d expect this change. Again, I’m primarily interested in temperature changes here, but anything additional would be greatly appreciated.The two major climate factors you are going to look at are temperature and humidity–what happens to these two characteristics as you make your trip.
Section 3:Global Circulation of the Atmosphere: Now you are flying back from the North Pole to the Equator along the same path you took above. This time you are paying more attention to the prevailing winds and precipitation. Describe how you would expect the climate to change as you go down in latitude from the pole to the equator - making sure to explain why you’d expect this change. Again, this time pay more attention to wind directions and amount of precipitation and pay most attention between and near 90°, 60°, 30°, and 0° latitudes.The two major climate factors you are going to look at are temperature and humidity–what happens to these two characteristics as you make your trip.
Section 4:Topography: How is climate affected by large bodies of water and by mountain ranges?
San Francisco and Columbus are at almost the same latitude and both are fairly close to sea level. However, San Francisco is downwind from the Pacific Ocean and Columbus is not near any large body of water. How would you expect San Francisco’s climate to be different from Columbus’ - and why?
The State of Washington is split by the Coastal Ranges of mountains into a western, windward section and an eastern, leeward (downwind) section. Consider how air would have to move coming from the Pacific Ocean onto land near Hoquium, going up and over the mountains to get to Yakima on the leeward side. How would you expect Yakima’s climate to be different from Hoquium’s - and why?

Part One
Word Bank:Isthmus,Topography,Tributary
1)What is a river or stream that flows into a larger river or stream?
2)What is a narrow strip of land, bordered by water, connecting 2 larger bodies of land?
3)What are physical features?
Part 2
1)Name the longest river in the world.
2)Name the largest fresh water lake in the world
3)Name the world’s highest navigable lake in the world
4)Name the deepest lake in the world
5)Name the largest petroleum deposits in the world
Thank You To ALL!
