(Lesson 1.01)

• weather

• climate

• atmosphere

• region

Practice Question 2

(Weather vs Climate)

Multiple Select

(Lesson 1.01)

• weather

• climate

• atmosphere

• air pressure

Practice Question 3

(Weather vs Climate)

Multiple Select

Read this scenario. Is it an example of weather, climate, or neither?

Columbus, Ohio typically has 26" of snow every winter.

(Lesson 1.01)

• weather

• climate

• neither

• both

Practice Question 4

(Weather vs Climate)

Multiple Select

Why do areas near the equator have warm climates?

(Lesson 1.02)

• The equator is closer to the sun than the poles

• There is less land near the equator

• It snows in areas away from the equator

• The equator gets the most sun year round

WIND

Topic 2

Practice Question 5

(Wind)

Multiple Select

What causes wind to happen?

(Lesson 1.06)

• An area of low pressure pushes towards an area of high pressure

• The Earth's rotation on its axis

• An area of high pressure pushes towards an area of low pressure

• The Earth's revolution around the Sun

Practice Question 6

(wind)

Multiple Select

Why do large areas of water change how the wind blows?

(Lesson 1.03)

• Water changes air temperature quickly.

• Water changes air temperature slowly.

• Water has no impact on the air temperature.

Practice Question 7

Multiple Select

Why does the Coriolis effect happen?

(Lesson 1.06)

• Global winds cause movement

• The oceans are deep

• Earth is spherical

• Earth's spins on an axis

AIR MASS

Practice Question 8

Multiple Select

A large section of air that has an even temperature, humidity, and air pressure is called:

(Lesson 1.07)

• jet stream

• atmosphere

• weather

• air mass

Practice Question 9

Multiple Select

Two air masses with different temperatures and humidity meet. A boundary line forms between them. What is the name of the boundary?

(Lesson 1.09)

• head

• advance

• weather

• front

JET STREAM

Practice Question 10

Multiple Select

A band of strong winds that are high in the atmosphere and blow from west to east across the entire planet. These winds impact weather and air travel.

(Lesson 1.08)

• jet stream

• coastal wind

• climate

• trade wind

Practice Question 11

Multiple Select

Select all the items that are influenced by jet streams.

(Lesson 1.08)

• atmospheric chemistry

• precipitation

• car travel

• temperature

Atmosphere Layers

Practice Question 12

Multiple Choice

Which word means the blanket of gases that surround Earth and other planets?

(Lesson 1.04 )

• air

• atmosphere

• troposphere

• geosphere

Practice Question 13

Multiple Choice

What happens to air pressure as you go up towards outer space?

(Lesson 1.04 )

• air pressure stays the same

• air pressure goes up

• air pressure goes down

• altitude doesn't change air pressure

Practice Question 14

Multiple Select

How does the jet stream over the United States change by season? Select all that apply.

(Lesson 1.08)

• In the winter, it goes towards the southern latitudes

• In the summer, it goes towards the northern latitudes

• It doesn't change in the different seasons

Practice Question 15

Multiple Choice

Which type of gas is the most common in Earth's atmosphere?

• oxygen

• carbon

• nitrogen

• helium

Weather Fronts

Practice Question 16

Multiple Choice

What type of weather is common with a cold front?

(Lesson 1.09)

• tropical air

• warm weather

• blue skies

• thunderstorms

Trends in Climate

Practice Question 17

Multiple Choice

How does carbon dioxide affect the Earth's climate?

(Lesson 1.10)

• While carbon dioxide is in the air waiting to be reabsorbed it traps the sun's heat.

• Carbon dioxide is being added to the soil, which causes weather phenomenon.

• Carbon dioxide mixes with water vapor to take harmful chemicals out of the air.

Practice Question 18

Multiple Choice

Starting in the 1800s the amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere began to increase quickly. What happened to global temperatures as the carbon dioxide increased?

• The temperatures increased

• The temperatures decreased

• The temperatures did not change

Practice Question 19

Multiple Select

What is quantitative data?

(Lesson 1.11)

• collected by instruments and uses numbers

• observations

Weather vs Climate: What is the Difference?

Help For Question 6

When the sun is shining, air above the land heats more quickly, becoming warmer than air above the sea. Therefore, the breeze moves from above the sea towards the land.

At night, the air over the land cools more quickly than the air over the water. At night, the breeze moves from land towards the sea.
