Unit 4 Climate & Weather Test Review

What causes a phase change?

• combination of two elements

• air pressure increasing

• absorbing or releasing heat

• clouds interacting with water vapor

What phase change occurs when water vapor releases heat and turns into liquid water?

• condensation

• precipitation

• evaporation

• melting

How do the particles move in a gas?

• very fast and compacted together

• very fast and spread apart

• very slow and slide past each other

• very slow and spread apart

In the water cycle, what is transpiration?

• the process that allows plant to absorb water

• surface runoff into a body of water

• when plants release water vapor into the atmosphere

• when clouds cannot hold anymore water vapor

What two processes add moisture into the air?

• evaporation and surface runoff

• evaporation and precipitation

• evaporation and condensation

• evaporation and transpiration

What provides the energy for evaporation and transpiration to occur?

• Tides

• Sun

• Gravity

• Moon

Where does condensation occur?

• in plants

• in water

• in land

• in clouds

The sun's rays travel through space and reach Earth. What type of heat transfer occurs?

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

• sun burn

What type of heat transfer occurs when particles collide and touch?

• Advection

• radiation

• convection

• conduction

When there are density differences, and warm material rises and cool material sinks, what heat transfer method takes place?

• convection

• radiation

• absorption

• conduction
