Unit 1: lesson two (Quizziz)

Open Ended

What are the 5 layers of the atmosphere? Which are hot? Which are cold? Which plate boundaries would you most likely find a volcano at?

Multiple Choice

What type of atmospheric cells are found between Hadley cells and polar cells?

• Ferrel cells
• Equatorial cells
• Hadley cells
• Tropical cells

Multiple Choice

What direction is air moving at 30 degrees N and S that causes deserts to form there?

• The air is descending.
• The air is swirling in circles.
• The air is moving horizontally.
• The air is rising.

Multiple Select

Which of the following statements about Hadley cells is/are correct?

• Hadley cells are responsible for the movement of warm air from the equator to 30° latitude.

• Hadley cells cause cool, dry air to sink at 30° latitude.

• Hadley cells are found at the poles.

• Hadley cells are responsible for the formation of deserts at 30° latitude.

Match

Match the Biome with its description: Savannah, Desert, Temperate forest/Grassland, Tundra/Taiga, Tropical rainforest, Chaparral.

• Savannah

• Desert

• Temperate forest/Grassland

• Tundra/Taiga

• Tropical rainforest

Grassland with scattered trees, warm temperatures, and seasonal rainfall.

Arid region with very little rainfall and extreme temperatures.

Forests with distinct seasons, rich biodiversity, and moderate rainfall.

Cold, treeless region with low temperatures and permafrost.

Dense, lush forest with high rainfall and diverse species.

• Grassland with scattered trees, warm temperatures, and seasonal rainfall.

• Arid region with very little rainfall and extreme temperatures.

• Forests with distinct seasons, rich biodiversity, and moderate rainfall.

• Cold, treeless region with low temperatures and permafrost.

• Dense, lush forest with high rainfall and diverse species.

Multiple Choice

Which biome is most likely to be found at the equator according to the global circulation and biome map?

• Desert

• Tundra/Taiga

• Tropical Rainforest

• Chaparral

Open Ended

Describe how the experience of 'falling off a merry-go-round' is similar to the Coriolis Effect observed on Earth.

Multiple Select

Which of the following are associated with the Hadley Cell?

• Trade Winds

• Tropical Rainforest

• Polar Easterlies

• Desert

Multiple Choice

Which wind pattern is found between 30° and 60° latitude according to the diagrams?

• Westerlies

• Trade Winds

• Polar Easterlies

• Monsoons

Multiple Choice

What causes air to move from 30° to 0° and 60° according to the global wind patterns?

• Differences in air pressure

• Earth's magnetic field

• Ocean currents

• Solar flares

Open Ended

Explain how the Coriolis Effect influences global wind patterns and the direction of wind movement in both hemispheres.

Multiple Choice

How do global wind patterns and Earth's tilt together influence the distribution of biomes across different latitudes?

• Global wind patterns determine temperature, while Earth's tilt determines moisture.

• Both global wind patterns and Earth's tilt affect moisture and solar radiation, influencing biome distribution.

• Earth's tilt only affects the poles, while wind patterns affect the equator.

• Biome distribution is only influenced by Earth's tilt, not wind patterns.

Multiple Choice

Which of the following factors contribute to atmospheric circulation?

• Energy from sunlight, density properties of air, and rotation of Earth

• Only the energy from sunlight

• Only the density properties of air

• Only the rotation of Earth
