Convection involves the transfer of heat through:

Direct contact between two objects

What does the land do with energy in the context of heating and cooling?

Land absorbs more energy and reflects less because it is a solid

Land reflects more energy and absorbs less because it is a solid

Land neither absorbs nor reflects energy

Land only reflects energy and does not absorb it

What happens to land during the day in terms of energy absorption and reflection?

It heats quickly, absorbing more energy and reflecting less, making it feel warmer.

It absorbs less energy and reflects more, making it feel cooler.

It retains heat and radiates it back into the atmosphere at night.

It feels cooler because it reflects all the energy it absorbs.

What is an example of how land behaves at night regarding heat?

The land radiates its energy into the atmosphere, causing it to feel cooler.

The land feels warm because it continues to absorb heat.

The land absorbs more energy at night, making it feel warmer.

The land reflects all its energy, making it feel the same as during the day.

Why does water feel warmer at night compared to during the day?

Because it retains its heat rather than radiating it back to the atmosphere.

Because it absorbs more heat during the night.

Because it reflects all the heat during the day.

Because it radiates more heat at night than during the day.

What is the effect of surface color on energy absorption and reflection?

A cold front that moves across the United States

What are fronts in weather terminology?

The boundary between where two air masses meet.

The boundary between two different ecosystems.

The division between two different ocean currents.

The separation between two different layers of the Earth's atmosphere.

What weather conditions are typically caused by a Cold Front?

Unstable conditions and violent thunderstorms followed by cold conditions.

Warm conditions followed by stable weather.

Rainy weather for days followed by warm conditions.

Cloudy weather and rain for days followed by warm conditions.

What is a Warm Front characterized by?

A warm air mass sliding on top of the cold air mass causing cloudy weather and rain for days followed by warm conditions.

A warm air mass moving in a cold air mass causing unstable conditions.

A cold air mass pushing out a warm air mass leading to cooler weather.

Two air masses colliding and neither can move the other causing rainy weather for days.

What happens during a Stationary Front?

A cold air mass and warm air mass collide and neither can move the other causing rainy weather for days.

A warm air mass moves rapidly causing unstable conditions.

A cold air mass and cool air mass trap a warm air mass in the middle.

A cold air mass moves in a warm air mass pushing it up rapidly.

What is an Occluded Front?

When a cold air mass and cool air mass traps a warm air mass in the middle pushing up the rising warm air causing clouds and rain followed by cooler weather.

When a warm air mass overtakes a cold air mass causing warm conditions.

When two warm air masses collide causing extended periods of rain.

When a stationary front dissipates leaving clear skies.

What is the Water Cycle?

The movement of water between the atmosphere and Earth's surface.

The process by which water is heated and turns into a gas called water vapor.

The cycle of water in its solid state as ice and snow.

The circulation of water within the Earth's oceans.

What is evaporation in the context of the Water Cycle?

The process by which water molecules in liquid water are heated and turn into a gas called water vapor.

The process by which ice melts into liquid water.

The process by which water vapor condenses into liquid water.

The process by which water vapor is released by plants and animals.

What is condensation?

The process by which water vapor in the air is cooled and becomes liquid water

The process by which water vapor in the air is heated and becomes gas

The process by which liquid water evaporates into water vapor

The process by which ice melts into liquid water

What does precipitation refer to?

Any form of water that falls from clouds and reaches Earth’s surface

Any form of water that evaporates from clouds

Any form of water that is stored in clouds

Any form of water that is absorbed by clouds

What is the purpose of a thermometer in weather monitoring?

To measure the temperature of the heat being released by the ground

To measure changes in air pressure

To measure the water vapor content in the air
