This assignment requires the use of scientific principles and data to answer questions about planetary motion, ocean currents, tides, climate, and heat convection.

Download the attached lab sheet.  Answer all lab questions, on work sheet and add these question on a seperate page answered
1. Use Kepler’s Third Law to determine the distance from the Sun for a planet whose period is 25 years. State the law and show all the steps of the calculation.
2. How are Earth and Venus similar and different? Post at least three characteristics and support your examples with data (like temperature values).
3. How does the North Atlantic Ocean Drift influence the climate of Western Europe? Provide two other examples where the surface currents influence the climate of the adjacent landmasses and explain the currents’ influence for each example.
4. Explain how tides occur.  Be specific about the position of the Earth, Moon, and Sun for each case.  List and describe the main tide types (including spring and neap tides).
5. What conclusion can we draw about South Florida’s climate if it snows on December 31st in Miami?
6. Define heat convection. Give an example of heat convection due to the differences between specific heat among water and land.
7. Give an example in US of orographic uplift; explain its influence on the local climate.
