Weather Patterns Review

The diagram represents which type of rainfall. An air parcel containing water vapor is forced to rise because of a mountain and creates rain.

• Orographic Rainfall

• Frontal Rainfall

• Convection Rainfall

Which type of rainfall is created when 2 air masses of different density collide?

• Orographic Rainfall

• Frontal Rainfall

• Convection Rainfall

Which best describes evaporation?

• The process of water vapor turning back into liquid.

• Water will always find its way back to sea level.

• The process of liquid water turning into water vapor.

• The water vapor that plants release into the atmosphere.

Which best describes transpiration?

• The process of liquid water turning into water vapor.

• The process of water vapor turning into liquid water.

• The process of vegetation and other plants releasing water vapor into the atmosphere.

• The sunlight heating up liquid water.

Which 2 factors drive the water cycle?

• Sunlight

• Water vapor

• The shape of the Earth

• Gravity

What information does this graph best represent.

• All air parcels will rise to the same height.

• Hot air parcels will rise higher in the atmosphere.

• The temperature of the air parcel does not influence the height to which it rises.

• Cooler air parcels will rise higher than warm or hot air parcels.

Which of the following statements is NOT true?

• The more energy an air parcel loses, the more rainfall it creates.

• The warmer an air parcel is the higher it will rise.

• The cooler an air parcel is the more rainfall it will create.

• Warm air parcels lose energy as they rise in the atmosphere.

Which storm will make more rainfall?

• Storm 1

• Storm 2

Which storm will produce more rainfall?

• Storm 1. Storm 1 is starting with a warmer air parcel.

• Storm 1. Storm 1's air parcel will rise higher into the atmosphere.

• Storm 2. The air parcel will lose more energy to the surrounding air.

• Storm 2. The air parcel will gain energy from the surrounding air.

Jake put a bottle of water on the desk and left the room. When he came back, he found water drops on the outside of the bottle. Where did the water on the outside of the bottle come from?

• The air in the room. Oxygen in the air turned into liquid water.

• The air in the room. Water vapor in the air turned into liquid water

• Water inside the bottle. The water leaked through the bottle.

• Water inside the bottle. The water moved along the surface of the bottle.
