One reason Spokane has colder winters than Everett is:

• Everett is closer to the equator than Spokane.

• Spokane is closer to the arctic than Everett.

• Spokane is a larger city than Everett.

• Everett is at a lower elevation than Spokane.

• Spokane is near a large river.

What is a rain shadow?

• The areas that don't get much rain because of shadows.

• The windward side of a mountain where there is less precipitation.

• The leeward side of the mountains that gets much less precipitation.

• Places where the rain leaves shadows, making areas appear darker.

What is the difference between climate and weather?

• time scale of observations

• accuracy of prediction

• kinds of measurements

• size of the area

Suppose you have two cities surrounded by land with similar elevation and geographic features. The main difference between them is that city A is at 20 degrees N. latitude and city B is at 60 degrees N. latitude. How will the climates of the two cities differ?

• The climates will be similar because they are not near the ocean.

• City A with the lower latitude will be warmer.

• City A will have more extreme weather- hotter summers and colder winters.

• City B with the higher latitude will be warmer.

• City B will have more extreme weather- hotter summers and colder winters.

In the heat transfer lab, you generated a graph that may have looked something like this. Container A was filled with gravel and container B was filled with water.

Which of the following would be a correct conclusion for your experiment?

• Gravel heats up faster and cools down slower than water.

• Gravel heats up and cools down faster than water.

• Gravel heats up slower and cools down faster than water.

• Gravel heats up and cools down slower than water.

• Gravel and water heat and cool at the same rate.

In the heat transfer lab, you generated a graph that may have looked something like this. Container A was filled with gravel and container B was filled with water.

In this experiment, the manipulated variable is the:

• amount of light.

• type of material in each container.

• type of container.

• measurement times.

• temperature recorded in each container.

In the heat transfer lab, you generated a graph that may have looked something like this. Container A was filled with gravel and container B was filled with water.

In this experiment, an important controlled variable is the:

• temperature recorded in each container.

• type of water used.

• distance from light source for each container.

• the type of gravel used.

• person reading the thermometer.
