Amplify Weather Patterns Final Review

What happens to a warm air parcel as it travels up into the atmosphere?

Select all that apply

• The cold air from the atmosphere travels down to cool the air parcel and make rain

• The warm air parcel rises until it matches the surrounding air temperature

• The warm air parcel transfers energy into the cold air around it

• The warm air parcel stays at the surface evaporating more water

How can you explain why Storm 1 had more rain that Storm 2?

• The air parcel in Storm 1 was warmer, causing it to lose more energy

• The air parcel in Storm 1 was cooler, gaining more energy as it rises

• The wind in storm 1 pushed more water vapor out of the air parcel

• The air parcel in Storm 1 was cooler and more rain fell

• heat
• cloud

The temperature of New York City is warmer today than yesterday. How does this happen?

• Less energy is transferred from the Earths surface to the air, making it warmer

• More energy from the sun is transferred from the surface to the air, making it warmer

• Energy from the sun transfers directly to the air making it warmer

• Energy from the clouds transfer to the air, making it warmer

Mike leaves a cup of tea on his desk while he gets ready for bed. His mom tells him it will get cold if he doesn't drink it quickly. How cold could the tea get?

• The tea will not get cold because its in a mug

• The tea will freeze overnight because energy will transfer out until it turns to a solid

• The tea will only get as cold as the rooms temperature

• The tea will always be 10 degrees warmer than the air temperature

Which air parcel will have less rainfall?

• They will have the same rainfall because the surrounding air temperature is the same

• Air Parcel 1 will have less rainfall because warm weather makes less rain

• Air Parcel 2 will have less rainfall because energy will not be transferred, causing no clouds to form

• Air Parcel 2 will have less rain because wind will push water vapor out of the air parcel

How does wind affect the amount of rainfall in an area? (Select all that apply)

• If wind is blowing towards the air parcel, there will be more rain because the air parcel will rise higher losing more energy

• If wind is blowing away from the air parcel, there will be more rain because the air parcel will rise higher losing more energy

• If wind is blowing towards the air parcel, there will be less rain because it will blow the water vapor out of the air parcel

• If wind is blowing away from the air parcel, there will be less rain because the wind will blow the water vapor out of the air parcel

What process of the water cycle is this?

The sunlight heats the water on Earth's surface, turning the water from a liquid to a gas.

• condensation

• boiling

• precipitation

• evaporation

What part of the water cycle is this?

When an air parcel with water vapor travels into the troposphere, cools and forms a cloud turning the vapor back into a liquid

• Evaporation

• Condensation

• Precipitation

• Raining

What part of the water cycle is this?

When water vapor turns from a gas to a liquid after cooling, the clouds will get heavier until the cloud cant hold the water anymore

• Evaporation

• Condensation

• Precipitation
