T9L3: What is weather? Quiz

Which of the following BEST describes weather?

• Weather is the clouds in the atmosphere with the wind blowing at any given point in time.

• Weather is the atmospheric condition, along with short-term changes, of a certain place at a certain time.

• Weather is the same all over the world, but it can only change when we are inside our home with different rooms.

• Weather is a certain condition when thunderstorms appear during a normal day with normal temperature in our daily normal living.

Which of the following statements does NOT describe air pressure?

• The amount of water vapor in the air.

• The force a column of air applies on the air or a surface below.

• Air pressure decreases as altitude increases.

• It is also referred to as barometric pressure.

Which of the following statements does NOT describe humidity?

• The amount of water vapor present in the air.

• The force a column of air applies on the air or a surface below.

• When the humidity is high there is more water vapor in the air.

• High humidity might make your skin feel sticky or sweat might not evaporate as quickly.

Which of the following statements BEST describes relative humidity?

• The amount of water vapor in the air compared to the maximum amount of water vapor the air could hold at a certain temperature.

• Relative humidity absolutely makes your skin feel sticky or sweat might not evaporate as quickly.

• The force a column of air applies on the air or a surface below.

• The temperature at which air is saturated and condensation can occur.

• The amount of water vapor in the air compared to the maximum amount of water vapor the air could hold at a certain temperature.

• Relative humidity absolutely makes your skin feel sticky or sweat might not evaporate as quickly.

• The force a column of air applies on the air or a surface below.

• The temperature at which air is saturated and condensation can occur.

Which of the following statements BEST describes precipitation?

• Water in liquid or solid form, that falls from the atmosphere.

• Relative humidity absolutely makes your skin feel sticky or sweat might not evaporate as quickly.

• The force a column of air applies on the air or a surface below.

• The temperature at which air is saturated and condensation can occur.

Which of the following BEST describes the difference between air temperature and air pressure?

• Air temperature is the amount of water vapor in the air while Air pressure is the measure of the average kinetic energy of molecules in the air.

• Air temperature is the movement of air from areas of low pressure to areas of high pressure while air pressure is the amount of water vapor in the air.

• Air pressure is the pressure that a column of air exerts on the air, or surface, below it while air temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of molecules in the air.

• Air pressure is the measure of the average kinetic energy of molecules in the air while the air temperature is the movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.
