Exam Mid term 1

Which pathway of processes would explain how a water molecule from the stream could end up in an ice sheet?

• a. Evaporation , condensation , crystallization , precipitation

• b. Evaporation , condensation , transpiration crystallization

• c. Evaporation ,crystallization, precipitation condensation  

• d.  Evaporation , respiration , crystalizaion transpiration.

Which of the following explains why Low - pressure systems is often associated with cloudy weather and precipitation?

• the air masses rise , causing water vapor condesation 

• the air masses sink , making it difficult for clouds to form

• the air masses rise , causing wind that blow away the clouds .

• the air masses sink , forcing air to move from low pressure to high pressure . 

• C , B , A

• A , B , C

• C , A ,B

• B , A , C

• As the surface area increases , the change in temperature will decrease 

• As the surface area decrease , the change in temperature will increase 

• there is an inversely proportional relationship between the surface area and temperature change 

• as the surface area increases , the change in temperature will increase 

• Ballon filed with cool air will rise into the atmosphere 

• As particles gain energy , the material takes up more space 

• the air inside the balloon lost energy

• the sunlight caused the air in the balloon to contract 

• water changes from liquid to a solid and thermal energy is released 

• water changed from liquid to solid and thermal energy is absorbed 

• water changes from Solid to a liquid and thermal energy is released

• water changed from solid to liquid and thermal energy is absorbed

• every substance has its own melting and boiling points 

• the greater the attraction between particles , the higher the melting and boiling points 

• the type of particles that makes up a substance affect how much energy is needed to cause a phases change 

• the greater the attraction between particles , the lower the melting and boiling points 

• Vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid is called evaporation 

• Vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid is called boiling 

• Vaporization that occurs within  a liquid is called evaporation

• Vaporization at the surface does not occur until a liquid is heated to its boiling point 

• crystallization 

• transpiration 

• condensation

• precipitation

• conduction 

• convection 

• radiation 

• transmission
