• climate

• weather

• air effects

• topographic conditions

NGSS.MS-ESS2-6

Main factors that influence this transfer of energy and, thus, influence the type of climate at a given location include (Check all that apply)

• latitude

• closeness to the ocean

• population density

• altitude

NGSS.MS-ESS2-6

Latitude is a topographic influence on climate because

• water absorbs and releases heat less readily than land does.

• the equatorial latitudes (places close to the equator) take in much more solar radiation than do the polar latitudes of the globe.

• clouds pile up on the side of the mountain facing the coast.

• equatorial latitudes have much less moisture than polar regions.

Which topographical region is known for dry climates, and cold night and warm days?

• desert

• coastal

• tropical

• mountains

Evaporation is

• the changing of gas to a liquid.

• the changing of liquid to a gas.

• the changing of solid to a liquid.

• the changing of a solid to a gas.

(Read carefully on the exam. The words may be switched.) When the Northern Hemisphere has spring, what season is the Southern Hemisphere in?

• spring

• summer

• winter

• fall

Tags

NGSS.MS-ESS1-1

The main factor that determines the seasons is

• the distance from the Sun.

• the amount of cloud cover.

• the tilt of the Earth.

• solar activity.

A measure of how much sunlight a surface reflects is

• albedo.

• reflectance.

• solar absorption.

• heat capacity
