Unit 2 Part 1

How are atmospheric pressure related to air density?

• Air with high density, has higher pressure than air with low density

• Air with high density has a lower air pressure

• Air pressure and density aren't related to one another

How do you measure atmospheric pressure?

• Thermometer

• Barometer

• Rain gauge

• anemometer

What is the original source of the energy that creates wind?

• Trees

• The moon

• The sun

What is a prototype?

• A working model of a design that is tested & used to refine the design

• A model of a design

• a failed attempt at a model

How does wind interact with the Geosphere

• creates ocean waves

• It erodes and wears down rocks/mountains

• It spreads seeds

• Helps birds fly

The water cycle is the movement of water through the Earth system and is driven by...

• seasonal changes & evaporation

• precipitation and by absorption into the ground

• ocean tides and by convection

• Energy from the sun & by gravity

What is transpiration?

• evaporation of water from human sweat

• evaporation of water from plant leaves

• evaporation of water from lakes or streams

• evaporation from only the ocean

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS2-3

Why does evaporation and transpiration occur more quickly on a hot day?

• Water particles have enough energy to escape the liquid surface or leaf

• More human activity

• It only occurs n hot days

• atmosphere is more dry on hot days and soak up moisture more quickly
