Unit 2.4 Patterns of Earth Systems Quiz Review

• Temperature has no effect on humidity.

• The warmer the air is, the less water vapor it can hold.

• As the temperature of the air increases, the amount of water vapor in the air decreases.

• As the temperature of the air decreases, the amount of water vapor in the air decreases.

Which statement is true regarding the water cycle and the effect it has on weather patterns and climates?

• Evaporation and precipitation are unbalanced in the atmosphere; if evaporation increases, precipitation decreases.

• Earth's internal convection controls the water cycle; the more internal convection that occurs, the more it rains.

• Evaporation and precipitation are balanced in the atmosphere; if evaporation increases, precipitation increases.

• The Sun's energy controls the water cycle; the more solar energy that is present, the less it rains.

• The Sun's rays can heat the ocean's water, causing some of it to evaporate into the atmosphere and form clouds.

• The cooler temperature of the ocean can cause the water to evaporate into the atmosphere and form clouds.

• The ocean can reflect the Sun's rays into the atmosphere causing water vapor to condense into a cloud.

• The warmer ocean waters can cause water vapor to be released as condensation into the atmosphere.

• The reflection of the Sun's rays from the lake into the atmosphere can cause more clouds to form.

• The heat of the land can reflect into the atmosphere, warming the liquid water to form clouds.

• Water vapor in the atmosphere can condense and then fall as precipitation due to gravity.

• Water vapor in the atmosphere can evaporate and then fall as precipitation due to gravity.
