Two days the air parcels started with water vapor. It didn't rain Day 1 but rained at night on Day 2. Why?

• Air parcel was cooler than air on Day 2 so it gained energy on Day 2

• Air parcel was warmer than air on Day 2 so it gained energy on Day 2

• Air parcel was warmer than air on Day 2 so it lost energy on Day 2

• AIr parcel was at the same low temperature as the air so it had low energy

Southampton's surface temp. before the first storm was 31 C and 15 C before the second storm. Which had more rainfall?

• Storm 1 - It was warmer and when it moved higher, it lost more energy

• Storm 1 - It was warmer, cooler air from above came down, lost more energy

• Storm 2 - It was cooler, moved higher, gained more energy

• Storm 2 - It was cooler, low energy because it remained near the surface

Storm 1 had more rainfall than Storm 2. Why?

• Storm 1 was cooler. Air parcel gained more energy.

• Storm 1 was cooler. Air parcel lost more energy.

• Storm 1 was warmer. Wind pushed water vapor out of warmer air parcel.

• Storm 1 was warmer. Air parcel lost more energy.

Klinger is closer to the equator than Log College. Which location is colder and why?

• Klinger because less energy is transferred from the sun to air

• Klinger because less energy is transferred from sun to surface to air.

• Log College because less energy is transferred from sun to air.

• Log College because less energy is transferred from sun to surface to air.

Southampton and Warminster are near the equator. Southampton receives polar energy. Warminster receives equator energy.

• Warminster is warmer. Only little energy transferred to Southampton.

• Warminster is warmer. Energy is transferred from sun to ocean to air.

• Warminster and Southampton are the same. Energy is transferred from to air.

• Warminster and Southampton are the same. It is transferred surface to air.

How does light travel?

• It can change directions.

• Wherever there is an open path.

• Unpredictable ways.

• Straight lines only.

How does energy travel between substances?

• Energy transfers from warmer substances to colder substances.

• Energy transfers from colder substances to warmer substances.

• Energy does not transfer between substances.

• Energy transfers from substances at a lower temp. to a higher temp.
