How are decreasing temperatures likely to affect air density?

They will increase the air density

They will decrease the air density

They will stabilize the air density

They can either increase or decrease air density

What most likely occurs when a fast moving cold air mass moves into a region of warmer, moist air?

It causes heavy precipitation for a short time

It causes light precipitation for a long time

It causes light precipitation for a short time

It causes heavy precipitation for a long time

According to the graph below how does air density change with altitude?

Density decreases as altitude increases

Density increases as altitude increases

Density stabilizes as altitude increases

Density varies as altitude increases

As the relative humidity goes up what is likely to happen to the dew point?

Sometimes it increases, sometimes it decreases

As water vapor rises into the atmosphere how does this impact the atmospheric conditions?

Relative humidity will increase as clouds form

Relative humidity will decrease as clouds dissipate

Relative humidity will increase as clouds dissipate

Relative humidity will decrease as clouds form

Which of these weather conditions is necessary for the formation of a cyclonic storm?

Air moving toward the center of a storm and rising into the atmosphere

A cold rain falling to the ground

Air masses combining in a high pressure system

Winds spiraling downward and away from the center of a storm

How can a weather satellite be useful in preparation for cyclonic storms?

Satellites can warn people about the approaching storm

Satellites can change the direction of the storm

Satellites can tell people how long the storm will last

Satellites can change the effect of the storm on the beach

Which of the following steps SHOULD NOT be taken in preparation for a cyclonic storm?

Leave town even though you weren't ordered to evacuate

Have battery operated radios and flashlights

Which statement best describes the ozone layer of Earth?

It helps reduce the amount of ultraviolet radiation reaching the surface of the Earth.

It prevents the formation of severe storms in the stratosphere of Earth.

It increases the amount of nitrogen in the troposphere of Earth.

It forms a magnetic field in the mesosphere of Earth.

How does heat from the sun get to Earth?

by radiation, using electromagnetic waves to transfer the heat

by convection, using liquids and gases to transfer the heat

by conduction, using solids to transfer the heat

by absorption, using primary waves to transfer heat

Which of these statements BEST describes temperature as elevation in the atmosphere increases?

Temperature generally decreases with elevation in the troposphere.

Temperature remains constant with elevation in the thermosphere.

Temperature remains constant with elevation in the mesosphere.

Temperature generally decreases with elevation in the stratosphere.
