23/24 Weather Q1 MidUnit Review

What are the components of the atmosphere?

• Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Helium
• Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, and Argon
• Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Argon
• Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Carbon Dioxide

Where is most of the atmosphere's mass located?

• In the middle atmosphere
• In the lower atmosphere
• In the upper atmosphere
• In outer space

What is the cycle of radiation between the Earth's surface and the air?

• Earth's surface gives off visible light that warms the air, and the air gives off ultraviolet radiation that warms the surface
• Earth's surface gives off infrared radiation that cools the air, and the air gives off visible light that warms the surface
• Earth's surface gives off infrared radiation that warms the air, and the air gives off infrared radiation that warms the surface
• Earth's surface gives off ultraviolet radiation that warms the air, and the air gives off infrared radiation that warms the surface

What is the process of heat transfer by conduction?

• Heat transfer by direct contact
• Heat transfer by movement of particles
• Heat transfer by electromagnetic waves
• Heat transfer by movement of fluids

Which of the following is an example of conduction in everyday life?

• A person feeling the warmth of the sun on their skin
• A microwave heating up food
• A pot of boiling water heating the air above it
• A fan blowing cool air on a hot day

What is the relationship between conduction and energy transfer?

• Conduction is a process that sometimes results in energy transfer
• Conduction is a process that always results in energy transfer
• Conduction is a process that does not involve energy transfer
• Conduction is a process that only transfers energy in one direction

What is the process of heat transfer by convection?

• Heat transfer by electromagnetic waves
• Heat transfer by movement of fluids
• Heat transfer by direct contact
• Heat transfer by movement of particles

Which of the following is an example of convection in everyday life?

• A pot of boiling water heating the air above it
• Hot air rising from a radiator
• A microwave heating up food
• A fan blowing cool air on a hot day

What is the relationship between temperature and air density in convection?

• Temperature and air density are not related in convection
• Higher temperature leads to lower air density
• Lower temperature leads to higher air density
• Higher temperature leads to higher air density

How does warm air affect the motion of air molecules?

• It makes them stick together
• It makes them move faster
• It makes them collide less
• It slows them down
