Topic 9 Lesson 2 Assessment

What are some ways that you rely on the wind?

• To fly kites

• Windsurfing

• Flying flags

• All of the above

What causes wind?

• Differences in air pressure cause air to move.

• The same air pressure cause air to move

• Measuring wind speed and direction

• The sinking and rising of ocean currents

What pattern occurs in the prevailing westerlies and polar easterlies of the Northern Hemisphere because of the Coriolis effect?

• In the Northern Hemisphere, these global winds turn to the left

• In the Northern Hemisphere, these global winds turn to the right

• In the Southern Hemisphere, these global winds turn to the left

• In the Southern Hemisphere, these global winds turn to the right

How is the sun's energy related to the winds?

• The sun heats Earth's surface evenly and causes different temperatures.

• The sun heats Earth's surface unevenly and causes the same temperature

• The sun heats Earth's surface unevenly and causes differences in temperatures.

• The sun heats Earth's surface only on one side and the temperature doesn't change.

What is a sea breeze?

• The flow of cooler air from over an ocean or lake toward land

• The flow of cooler air from over the land toward the ocean

• The flow of warmer air from over an ocean or lake toward land

• The flow of warmer air from over the land toward the ocean

What is a land breeze?

• The flow of air from a body of water to land

• The flow of air from a high pressure system to low pressure system

• The flow of air from land to a body of water

• The flow of air from a low pressure system to a high pressure system

What is the Coriolis effect?

• The effect of the moon's rotation on the pull of winds and currents

• The effect of Earth's rotation on the direction of ocean currents and sun rotation

• The effect of Earth's tilt on its axis make the winds spin

• The effect of Earth's rotation on the direction of winds and currents

Which type of breeze is this?

• Land Breeze

• Sea Breeze

Which type of breeze is this?

• Land Breeze

• Sea Breeze

A weather reporter says, "It is 30 degrees Fahrenheit but has a wind speed of 25 mph, the windchill factor makes it feel much colder." Use the table to determine how cold the air will feel with the windchill factor accounted for.

• Windchill 7

• Windchill 16

• Windchill 8

• Windchill 17
