TCI Science Unit 3 Lesson 3 Review

How is warm air different from cool air?

• Warm air sinks, while cool air rises.

• Warm air is lighter than cool air.

• Warm air moves more slowly than cool air.

• Warm air has a lower temperature than cool air.

You can use an anemometer to measure the

• direction of the wind.

• temperature of the air.

• speed of the wind.

• distance air moves.

Which of these is true about a wind that blows from north to south?

• It is a north wind.

• It is a south wind.

• It is a summer wind.

• It is a winter wind.

Which example shows that the time of the year can affect wind patterns?

• Westerlies blow from west to east across the United States.

• Wind speeds can increase during a storm.

• The Santa Ana winds blow from the deserts to the ocean from fall to spring.

• Easterlies blow from east to west across tropical areas.

During the day, is the water warmer or cooler than the land?

• warmer

• cooler

What is the pattern of a sea breeze in terms of warm and cool areas?

• A sea breeze blows from cool areas to warm areas.

• A sea breeze blows from warm areas to cool areas.

• A sea breeze only blows out to sea.

• A sea breeze only blows on land.

How does a sea breeze affect daytime temperatures over land?

• It lowers them, or keeps them cooler.

• It raises them, or keeps them warmer.

• It does not change the temperature on land.

At night, the land cools faster than the sea. In which direction will the wind blow?

• from the land to the sea

• from the sea to the land

• from the sky to the earth

Which instrument will best help collect wind speed data?

• wind sock

• wind vane

• anemometer

• thermometer

In which direction is the wind coming from at 2:00 p.m.?

• east

• southeast

• south

• southwest
