Summative Test - Climate

(30 sec) What do you call the physical attributes, surface shapes and features of a particular area?

• altitude

• latitude

• seismograph

• topography

(2 mins) When moist winds approach a mountain, these often drop rain as winds rise over the mountain and come down on the other side. As the air comes down the leeward side, it warms, expands, and reduces the possibility of precipitation. How does this phenomenon affect the leeward side of the mountain?

• The leeward side of the mountain is cooler and wet.

• The leeward side of the mountain is cooler and drier.

• The leeward side of the mountain is warmer and wet.

• The leeward side of the mountain is warmer and drier.

(60 sec) How does the air in the windward (A) differ from the air in leeward (B)?

• The air at A is drier than

      at B.

• The air at A is colder than

       at B.

• The air at A is moving

       faster than at B.

• The air at A is more polluted

       than at B.

(60 sec) How does the windward side differ from the leeward side of a high land?

• The windward receives more precipitation than the leeward.

• The windward side receives more heat than the leeward side.

• The leeward side has more vegetation than the windward side.

• The leeward side receives more precipitation than the windward side.

(30 sec) What happens to the temperature of air when altitude increases?

• remains the same

• increases

• decreases

• varies

(60 sec) Which of the following BEST describes climate?

• The weather that occurs in the atmosphere within a day.

• The pattern of weather that occurs in a region over a long period of time.

• The pattern of weather that occurs in a region over a short period of time.

• The disturbance in the atmosphere that happens in a long period of time.

(60 sec) Why are the coldest places on earth found at the poles?

• great amount of gaseous particles trap heat from the surface

• great amount of thermal radiation is received by these areas

• less amount of thermal radiation is received by these areas

• less amount of gaseous particles trap heat from the surface

(60 sec) During summer, many people visit Baguio because of the cold weather. What do

you think makes Baguio cold?

• A. latitude

• B. altitude

• C. topography

• D. distance from the ocean

(60 sec) Why do places at the same latitude but different altitudes have different climate?

• Different altitudes receive different amounts of precipitation

• Different altitudes receive different amounts of heat

• Places with higher altitudes have lower temperature

• Places with higher altitudes have higher temperature

(30 sec) Which part of the mountain has more vegetation?

• top

• leeward

• sideward

• windward
