The map below shows shaded regions that represent the tropical climate zones of the world. These tropical climate zones tend be humid, have moderate temperatures, and get heavy precipitation.

What makes these areas most likely to have this type of tropical climate?

• They are along Earth's equator, which exposes them to more sunlight, causing the warm water to evaporate and precipitate frequently.

• They are along the Earth's equator, which exposes them to less sunlight, causing warm moisture to stay condensed in the air.

• They are along Earth's equator, which exposes them to more sunlight, preventing water from precipitating since it is constantly evaporating.

• They are along Earth's equator, which exposes them to less sunlight, causing warm water to condense and precipitate frequently.

On a weather map, the letter L represents a low-pressure system. The letter H indicates a high-pressure system. Look closely at the following weather map.

What conclusion can you make from this weather map?

• Florida is having a sunny day.

• Florida is having a stormy day.

• Texas is having sunny weather.

• All of the above.

During most of the year, the air over Daytona Beach contains a great amount of moisture. The air is said to be humid. Which of the following best explains why there is high humidity in this area?

• Daytona Beach is close to a warm ocean

• Daytona Beach is at a high elevation

• Daytona Beach is near a lot of mountains

• Daytona Beach is north of the Equator

The following illustration shows the path of the polar jet stream across North America.

How can the polar jet stream influence weather?

A. The jet stream moves air masses from east to west.

B. The jet stream pulls warm air down from Canada into the United States.

C. The jet stream pulls cold air from Canada into the United States.

D. The jet stream moves in a straight-line path as the strong winds flow from west to east.

• The jet stream moves air masses from east to west.

• The jet stream pulls warm air down from Canada into the United States.

• The jet stream pulls cold air from Canada into the United States.

• The jet stream moves in a straight-line path as the strong winds flow from west to east.

The jet stream usually stays too far north to affect Florida’s weather. What is the jet stream?

• a narrow band of strong winds that blow in the upper region of the atmosphere and is a border between hot and cold air masses

• the movement of air from an area of low pressure to an area of high pressure

• the spinning of the air in the opposite direction of Earth’s rotation

• the spinning of the air in the same direction as Earth’s rotation

In describing weather completely, it is important to include many factors, including air pressure, precipitation, and humidity.

Which of the following statements is FALSE?

• Condensation is the process where water vapor (gas) changes to liquid water

• Air typically moves from areas of lower pressure to areas of higher pressure.

• Precipitation is a form of water that falls to Earth’s surface from the clouds.

• Wind is the movement of air that results from differences in air pressure.

Which statement is true?

• Organs are made up of organisms.

• Cells are made up of organ systems.

• Organ systems are made up of organs.

• Tissues are made up of organs.

Which cell contains a nucleus?

• prokaryotic cell
• Eukaryotic cell
