Multiple Choice

What is Temperature?

• The clouds when it rains

• 
  the long-term weather patterns in an area

• How cold something gets

• How hot or cold something is

Multiple Choice

How do Ocean Currents affect temperature?

• The temperature from the currents doesn't affects the air above it which then comes onto the land

• The temperature from the currents affects the air above it which then comes onto the land

• It makes the weather patterns have high temperatures always

• It makes the air extra salty

Multiple Choice

_______ affects weather because the further north or south you go from the Equator, the less solar energy (heat).

• altitude
• latitude
• sunlight
• atmosphere

Multiple Choice

What is Precipitation?

• Latitude and altitude put together

• When a convection currents expands

• When things from the ocean depressurize

• any liquid or frozen water that forms in the atmosphere and falls back to the earth.

Multiple Choice

What is wind?

• movement of air 

• movement of water

• movement of fire

• movement of space

Multiple Choice

What are Prevailing Winds?

• Winds the only go over the ocean

• winds that usually blow in multiple directions

• winds that usually blow in one direction

• winds that blow longitude

Multiple Choice

How do Prevailing Winds affect precipitation

• The amount of of water vapor in the air masses influences how much rain or snow might fall.

• The amount of hot air in the air masses influences how much rain or snow might fall.

• The amount of cold air the air masses influences how much rain or snow might fall.

• The amount mild air pressure in the air masses influences how much rain or snow might fall.

Multiple Choice

How do mountain ranges affect precipitation?

• Warm moist air will travel be forced to travel up the mountain, rising air cools and condenses, only dry air is on the other side

• Warm moist air will travel be forced to travel up the mountain and it will rain on the other side of the mountain

• Warm moist air will travel be forced to travel up the mountain and be warm on the other side

• Mountain ranges do not affect precipitation

How does sea and land breeze affect precipitation?

• "Land and sea breezes help move air and moisture between the ocean and land. Sea breezes can bring rain to coastal areas, while land breezes are usually dry and less likely to cause precipitation."

Multiple Choice

What is land breeze?

• the wind blows off the water toward the land

• the wind blows off the land toward the opposite side of the land

• the wind blows off the land toward the water

• When the land shakes and makes a breeze

Multiple Choice

What is sea breeze?

• the wind blows off the land toward the water

• The water moves so hard it shakes the land

• The wind blows the water towards the water

• the wind blows off the water toward the land

Multiple Choice

Why do land breezes occur at night?

• Land cools off slower than water, so the air above water is cooler.
• Water cools off faster than land, so the air above land is warmer.
• Land heats up slower than water, so the air stays cooler during the day.
• Water cools off slower than land, so the air above water is warmer.

Multiple Choice

Is this a land or a sea breeze?

• land breeze
• sea breeze

Multiple Select

How does the windward side differ from the leeward side?

• A. The windward side receives more precipitation than leeward side.

• B. The leeward side has more vegetation than the windward side.

• C. The windward side receives more heat than the leeward side.

• D. The leeward side receives more precipitation than the windward side.

Multiple Choice
