Which of the following is most likely the best conditions to have the greatest amount of transpiration and evaporation to occur within the water cycle?

• The greatest amount of transpiration and evaporation will occur when the air temperature is high and the humidity is high.

• The greatest amount of transpiration and evaporation will occur when the air temperature is low and the humidity is low.

• The greatest amount of transpiration and evaporation will occur when air temperature is low and the humidity is high.

• The greatest amount of transpiration and evaporation will occur when the temperature is high and the humidity is low.

What is the relationship between air pressure and weather?

• When a high-pressure system moves into an area, the weather is usually stormy with a high probability of tornadic activity.

• When a high-pressure system moves into an area, it usually leads to no precipitation and lots of wind

• When a low-pressure system moves into an area, this will most likely lead to cloudiness, wind, and precipitation.

• When a low-pressure system moves into an area, the weather is usually calm with no chance of rain or wind.

Which of the following is the most influential on the high and low pressure systems on this map?

• Solar energy causes high and low pressure systems due to the patterns of heating and cooling over large areas of the Earth’s surface.

• Lunar gravity causes high and low pressure systems do to the push and pull forces on Earth's atmosphere.

• Global warming causes high and low pressure systems due to the melting of Earth's polar ice caps.

• The Coriolis effect causes high and low pressure systems due to the wind patterns on Earth.

Which of the following has the greatest impact on air masses in Earth’s troposphere?

• the movement of cold, dense air rising above warm, less dense air

• patterns of heating and cooling

• runoff resulting from increased amounts of precipitation

• extended periods of time without rainfall

Which of the following best explains why winds form in Earth’s atmosphere?

• Winds form when air molecules move closer together as they go higher in Earth's atmosphere.

• Winds form as the more dense, warm air moves down and less dense, cool air moves up in Earth's atmosphere.

• Winds form due to high pressure created by variations in temperature and gravity throughout Earth's atmosphere

• Winds form due to the uneven heating of land and water causes a rising and sinking of warm and cool air masses

What is the greatest challenge to mountain climbers as they summit tall mountains?

• Air pressure and temperature decrease as the climbers move up the mountain.

• As the climbers move up the mountain, the air pressure decreases leading to severe weather conditions.

• Air pressure increases and temperature decreases as the climbers move up the mountain.

• As climbers move up the mountain, cloudy conditions make it difficult for climbers to see.

Why does the troposphere experience the greatest amount of atmospheric pressure compared to the other atmospheric layers?

• The troposphere contains a high concentration of gas particles.

• The troposphere is the region in which weather occurs.

• The troposphere produces the ozone layer.

• The troposphere has the highest temperatures.

What is the most abundant gas in the atmosphere (making up 78% )

• Carbon Dioxide

• Nitrogen

• Oxygen

• Argon
