Weather Test #2

The temperature at which air changes from gas (water vapor) to liquid

• dew point

• wind chill factor

• relative humidity

• Coriolis effect

The increased cooling that a wind can cause

• dew point

• wind chill factor

• relative humidity

• Coriolis effect

Earth's rotation causing global winds curve is called the

• dew point

• wind chill factor

• relative humidity

• Coriolis effect

The total energy of motion in the particles of a substance is

• thermal energy

• radiation

• convection

• conduction

Heat transfer between two substances that are in contact is called

• thermal energy

• radiation

• convection

• conduction

Heat transfer from the sun reaches you by

• thermal energy

• radiation

• convection

• conduction

This takes place because cold air is more dense than warm air and falls to the ground, warms up and rises up again.

• thermal energy

• radiation

• convection

• conduction

Differences in air pressure causes

• wind

• precipitation

• humidity

• temperature

Water freezes at

• 0° Celsius

• 100° Celsius

• 32° Celsius

• 212° Celsius

The troposphere is mainly heated by

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

• doldrums
