Energy from the Sun is transferred from the Earth’s surface to the atmosphere, resulting in atmospheric convection currents that produce winds. How do physical properties of the air contribute to convection currents?

The warmer air rises because it is less dense than cooler air.

The warmer air sinks because it is more dense than cooler air.

The warmer air rises because it is more dense than cooler air.

The warmer air sinks because it is less dense than cooler air.

The term El Niño in meteorology describes a prolonged warming period in the Pacific Ocean near the equator. The increase in surface water temperature caused by El Niño can last up to two years. What is the most likely effect of El Niño conditions?

An increase in hurricanes originating from the Pacific Ocean

A decrease in severe storms originating from the Pacific Ocean

A decrease in precipitation along Pacific coastal regions

An increase in stationary fronts developing along Pacific coastal regions

A hurricane forms over the Atlantic Ocean. When it hits land and comes ashore, its wind speed decrease significantly. This happens because the hurricane:

no longer gains energy from warm ocean water

gains more water from the flooded land than the ocean

meets a stronger hurricane moving from land

In 2011, Typhoon Nesat struck the Philippines and caused widespread flooding. After hitting the Philippines, Typhoon Nesat was predicted to hit the large city of Hanoi, Vietnam. If Typhoon Nesat had continued along the same path, which development would most likely have reduced its strength before it hit Hanoi? (8.10C)

Cool water moving into the sea east of Hanoi

The formation of a low-pressure area south of Bangkok

The formation of a high-pressure area south of Bangkok

Warm water moving into the sea east of Hanoi

Explain which air mass affects the weather in Georgia.

Air mass #2 brings warm, moist weather to Georgia, because it is a maritime tropical air mass.

Air mass #1 brings warm, moist weather to Georgia, because it is a continental polar air mass.

Air mass #1 brings cold, dry weather to Georgia, because it is a maritime tropical air mass.

Air mass #2 brings cold, dry weather to Georgia, because it is a continental polar air mass.

In some years there are more hurricanes than usual. This is probably because

the ocean is warmer than usual.

there are more windy days than usual.

the gravitational pull of the Moon is stronger.
