Weather Patterns Test Review

Evaporation

• A gas changes into a liquid

• A solid changes into a liquid

• A liquid changes into a gas

• A liquid changes into a solid

Condensation

• A gas changes into a liquid

• A liquid changes into a gas

• A solid changes into a liquid

• A liquid changes into a solid

The process of changing of water vapour to water droplets is called _____

• evaporation

• condensation

• precipitation

If the starting temperature of the air parcel is higher it will...

• rise higher into the troposphere

• loose more energy and cool more

• lead to more condensation and more rainfall

• All of the above.

The town of Anzac had two rainstorms in September. Storm 2 had more rainfall than Storm 1. The temperature of the surrounding areas was the same before both storms.

What could explain why Storm 2 had more rainfall than Storm 1?

•  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

• warmer, so when cooler air from above moved down, it lost more energy

• warmer, so when the air parcel moved higher, it lost more energy.

Air Parcel 1 is warmer than the surrounding air. Air Parcel 2 is at the same temperature as 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?

• 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.

• Air Parcel 1 will lose more energy to the surrounding air, which will cause more water vapor to fall as rain.

• Air Parcel 1 will gain energy from the surrounding air, which will cause more water vapor to fall as rain.

• Air Parcel 2 is colder than Air Parcel 1, so more water vapor will fall as rain.

the layer of the atmosphere closest to Earth, where weather happens

• precipitation

• atmosphere

• condensation

• troposphere

Energy...

• liquid water changing to water vapor

• the ability to make things move or change

• when something stays mostly the same over time

• when water vapor changes to liquid water

Air parcels continue to rise in the troposphere until

• the inside and outside temperature of the air parcel become equal

• the air parcel becomes stable

• the air inside and surrounding the air parcel reach the same temperature

• All of the above

liquid water droplets suspended in the air

• cloud

• condensation

• evaporation

• liquid water
