When a hurricane reaches land, its intensity decreases as the area of ________________

friction and the lack of warm, moist air

increase in pressure and temperature

lack of cold, dry air to fuel the storm

successive updrafts into the eye wall

The eye of a hurricane ____________

is warmer than the rest of the storm

is responsible for heavy precipitation

The average yearly rainfall for Miami, Florida is about 58 inches. During the year, Miami goes through a dry period where it receives very little rainfall. Which factor is most likely responsible for the dry period?

cold air moving in from the north

distance from the Gulf Stream current

location of latitude north of the equator

warm air moving in from the Atlantic Ocean

When cold air in the winter passes over large bodies of warm water, moisture is picked up. As the air mass rises rapidly over land,

precipitation generally occurs.

cold fronts become warm fronts.

When a cold front moves over a land region that has warm, moist air, a transfer of energy occurs. Cold air sinks and pushes warmer air upward. As energy is removed from the air, which change will most likely take place?

Water in the atmosphere will undergo a phase change

Less ultraviolet radiation will reach the land

Ozone in the atmosphere will decrease

More water will be absorbed from the area lakes

How do hurricanes form and move?

The storms form at the equator and initially move west

The storms form at the equator and initially move south

The storms form at the northern midlatitude and initially move west.

The storms form at the northern midlatitude and initially move south.

Which environmental factors most likely impact the formation of tornadoes in Tornado Alley?

Cool dry air colliding with warm moist air

High pressure systems colliding with other high pressure systems

Cold dry air and warm dry air moving towards each other

Low evaporation rates and windy conditions

After a period of steady increase, the rate of coal consumption was 50% higher during 2009 than it was during the year 2000. If this trend continues, which impact will coal consumption most likely have on the environment after the year 2010?

Increased levels of greenhouse gas emissions

Decreased rates of deforestation
