What's the difference between the water in the oceans and fresh water?

• Ocean water is cooler than fresh water

• Ocean water is salty, and fresh water isn't

• Fresh water has dissolved minerals and ocean does not

• Ocean water is warmer than fresh water

How is the air at the top of the mountain different from the air at the base of the mountain?

• Air pressure is higher at the top of the mountain

• Air at the top of the mountain is denser

• Air pressure is lower at the top of the mountain

• Air at the top of the mountain contains more mass

Why is the Balctic Sea less salty than other seas?

• Many rivers flow into the Baltic sea

• Deserts surround the baltic sea

• The Baltic Sea is in a warm place

• Waters go quickly through the Baltic Sea

What´s the Sun role in the water cycle?

• The Sun makes water particles slow down

• Water evaporates in the Sun's warmth

• Water condenses when it's warmed by the sun

• The Sun's warmth changes water from a gas to a liquid

What happens when moist air rises?

• The most air warms, and water evaporates from the air

• The moist air cools and is able to store more precipitation

• The moist air cools and is able to store more precipitation

• The moist air cools and the water vapor condenses into clouds

Define condensation

• ice becoming liquid water as it warms

• water vapor becoming liquid water as it cools

• rain becoming water vapor as it warms

• rain becoming ice when it cools

Which best describes air?

• a force that surrounds Earth

• a susbstance with no mass that contains water vapor

• the gases that surround Earth's surface

• a force that presses gases toward Earth's surface

What happens to air when there is an area of lower pressure nearby?

• The water vapor in the air becomes less dense

• the air moves toward the area of low pressure

• the particles of air become more loosely packed

• air that was moving comes to a standstill
