MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

There were two rainstorms in Marion last fall. Before Storm 1, Marion’s temperature was 9°C. Before Storm 2, the temperature was 26°C. Before both storms, the temperature of the surrounding areas was the same and wind was blowing toward Marion. There was the same amount of water vapor before Storm 1 and Storm 2.
Which storm likely had more rainfall?
Storm 1. Wind caused cooler air from above the air parcel to move down, causing the air parcel at the surface to lose more energy.
Storm 1. The cooler air parcel had less energy at the surface, so when wind pushed it higher, it gained more energy.
Storm 2. Wind pushed more water vapor out of the warmer air parcel.
Storm 2. Wind pushed the warmer air parcel even higher and the air parcel lost more energy.

The town of Greenville had two rainstorms in March. Storm 2 had more rainfall than Storm 1. The temperature of the surrounding area was the same before both storms.
What could explain why Storm 2 had more rainfall than Storm 1?
Before Storm 2, the air parcel at the surface could have been:
warmer, so when the air parcel moved higher, it lost more energy.
warmer, so when cooler air from above moved down, it lost more energy.
cooler, so when the air parcel moved higher, it gained more energy.
cooler, so the air parcel had low energy and remained near the surface.

Air parcel 1 is at the same temperature as the surrounding air. Air parcel 2 is warmer than the surrounding air. Air parcel 1 and Air parcel 2 started with the same amount of water vapor in them.
Which air parcel will have more rainfall and why?
Air Parcel 1 is colder than Air Parcel 2, so more water vapor will fall as rain.
Air Parcel 2 will lose energy to the surrounding air, which will cause more water vapor to fall as rain.
Air Parcel 2 will gain energy from the surrounding air, which will cause more water vapor to fall as rain.
Both air parcels will have the same amount of rain. They have the same surrounding air temperature, so the same amount of water vapor will fall as rain.

Ian left a cup of hot chocolate in a cool room. His mother tells him that his hot chocolate will get cold if he forgets to drink it. How cold could it get?
Colder than the temperature of the room. It will keep cooling down for as long as he leaves it in the room.
Only a little colder. It started out much hotter, so it will stop cooling down before it reaches the same temperature of the room.
Only a little colder. It will stop cooling down when its temperature is about halfway between its starting temperature and the temperature of the room
Only as cold as the temperature of the room. It will stop cooling down when it is exactly the same temperature as the room.

Kumba had two rainstorms in October. Storm 2 had more rainfall than Storm 1. The temperature of the surrounding areas was the same before both storms.
What could have caused Storm 2 to have more rainfall than Storm 1?
Before Storm 2, Kumba could have been:
cooler than before Storm 1 and windy. Wind pushed the cooler air parcel even higher and the air parcel gained more energy.
cooler than before Storm 1 and windy. Wind caused the cooler air from above the air parcel to move down, causing the cooler air parcel at the surface to lose more energy.
warmer than before Storm 1 and windy. Wind pushed the warmer air parcel even higher and the air parcel lost more energy.
warmer than before Storm 1 and windy. Wind pushed more water vapor out of the warmer air parcel.

There were two rainstorms in Sinan last month. Before Storm 1, the air temperature at the surface was 21°C. Before Storm 2, the air temperature at the surface was 29°C. The temperature of areas surrounding Sinan was the same before both storms. There was the same amount of water vapor in the air parcels before both storms.
Which storm is likely to have had more rainfall?
Storm 1. The air parcel at the surface was cooler and had less energy, so with low energy it remained near the surface.
Storm 1. The air parcel at the surface was cooler and had less energy, so when it moved higher, it gained more energy.
Storm 2. The air parcel at the surface was warmer and had more energy, so when it moved higher, it lost more energy.
Storm 2. The air parcel at the surface was warmer and had more energy, so when cooler air from above came down, it lost more energy.
