Where can ocean currents exist?

Deep below the surface of the ocean

The hydrosphere includes:

Water frozen at the polar ice caps

Liquid water found in lakes, rivers and the ocean

Which statement explains the movement of water in an ocean convection current?

Water warms and rises at the equator and moves towards the poles. It cools, sinks and moves along the bottom of the ocean back towards the equator.

Water warms and sinks at the equator and moves towards the poles. It cools, rises and moves along the surface back towards the equator.

Water cools and sinks at the equator and moves towards the poles. It warms, rises and moves along the surface back towards the equator.

Water cools and rises at the equator and moves towards the poles. It warms, sinks and moves along the bottom of the ocean back towards the equator.

The conditions of the atmosphere at a location

The average temperature of a location

The conditions of the hydrosphere at a location

The average climate of a location

A measure of how warm or cold it is

A measure of moisture in the air

A way to describe wind speed and direction

What is barometric pressure?

A measure of the weight of air over a location

A measure of the volume of air over a location

A measure of the temperature of air over a location

A way to describe the type of gases in the atmosphere

How do winds move around a high pressure system in the Northern hemisphere?

Winds spiral outward in a clockwise rotation

Winds move converge inward towards a high pressure system

Winds spiral inward in a clockwise rotation

Winds move laterally outward from a high pressure system

What is happening to air at a low pressure system?

Air dries out at a low pressure system

Air is compressed together at a low pressure system

A mass of air with the same temperature and moisture content

A mass of air with the same type of clouds

A dense region of air in the atmosphere

A large storm that forms in the upper regions of the atmosphere

What is a weather front?

A boundary between different air masses

A boundary between clouds and dry air

associated with the formation of storms along the front

How do you describe weather?

Weather is described using tools that measure specific factors in the atmosphere

Weather is described using descriptive language based on what you observe with your senses

Weather is described using numbers or values that define atmospheric conditions

Which statement best describes how barometric pressure changes as elevation increases?

As elevation increases, barometric pressure decreases

As elevation increases, barometric pressure increases

As elevation increases, barometric pressure increases and then decreases

As elevation increases, barometric pressure stays the same

Which of the following is most responsible for the difference in wind direction of a land and sea breeze?

Water heats up and cools down slower than land

Water heats up and cools down faster than land

Low pressure always tends to form over water

Low pressure always tends to form over land

What phenomenon is responsible for the formation of a low pressure system?

Air warms and rises in a concentrated region, forming a low pressure system

Air cools and sinks in a concentrated region, forming a low pressure system

Air cools and rises in a concentrated region, forming a low pressure system

Air warms and sinks in a concentrated region, forming a low pressure system

How does air move along Earth’s surface between pressure systems?

Air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure

Air moves from areas of low pressure to areas of high pressure

Barometric pressure does not dictate how air moves along Earth’s surface

Either a or b, depending on whether the pressure systems are located over land or water

As air temperature get closer to dew point, what happens to humidity?

Humidity increases and then decreases

Humidity does not depend on dew point
