Which of the following would NOT cause colder temperatures?

air moving from polar zone to temperate zone

What does latitude describe?

the distance North or South of the equator

the distance East or West of the equator

the height of an area above sea level

the amount of heat energy in the air

Which environment description matches a swamp?

a wetland that is warm and humid

a dry area with low humidity and little precipitation

a warm area with high humidity and lots of rainfall

Deserts in the temperate zones can be extremely hot in the afternoon and below freezing at night. Which answer best explains why this happens?

Temperate deserts have very little cloud cover and no humidity. This means that more energy from the Sun reaches the desert in the day, but that heat can escape quickly at night.

Temperate deserts are found at high elevations, where the Sun and the wind are much stronger. This creates more extreme temperature changes.

Temperate deserts lack trees and grass. With no trees, the Sun shines directly down and causes it to get hot in the day, and with no grass, the heat escapes at night.

Temperate deserts have higher rainfall than other kinds of deserts. Warm rain during the day produces warm breezes in the desert. Cooler rains at night draw warm air away from the desert.

As the weather gets colder, the air pressure usually goes up. Why does this happen?

Colder weather makes the air denser, and the increased weight of the air means that there is more air pressure.

As the temperature drops, the air takes up more space and presses down harder on the ground.

Cold weather causes Earth to cool, and the heat that leaves Earth pushes against the air and increases pressure.

When the weather is colder, the clouds weigh more as ice begins to form. The heavier clouds increase the air pressure.

If Walter puts a bucket of water out in the Sun on a hot, windy day. what will happen to the level in the bucket?

The level will go down as the water evaporates from the bucket

the water level will rise as the water condenses from the air above the bucket

the water level will stay the same since the water is protected from the wind

the water level will only go down in the wind makes water splash out of the bucket

Which answer best explains why clouds usually form high in the sky?

it is cold enough there for the water vapor to begin condensing

it is warm enough there for evaporated water to expand into clouds

it is dry enough there for precipitation to form into condensed water vapor

it is windy enough there for water droplets to get pushed together into clouds.
