Why would cookies bake faster on the top rack of the oven rather than on the bottom or middle rack?

• Because warm air is more dense

• Because warm air is less dense and rises where it's trapped in the oven

• It doesn't, the oven heats all areas evenly

• Because of conduction

How is air at the surface of the Earth heated?

• First the sun heats the surface of the Earth through radiation, then the surface of the Earth heats the air above it through conduction

• By the core

• Through radiation

• Through conduction

Why does hot air rise?

• Because the air mass is more dense than the air above it

• Because of Conduction

• Because of Radiation

• Because the warmer air mass is less dense than the air above it

Why do the northern and southern hemispheres have opposite seasons?

• They don't have opposite seasons

• Because of the Earth's tilt - the Earth's northern hemisphere tilts towards the sun in June and tilts away from the sun in December.

• Because of the Earth's tilt - the Earth's northern hemisphere tilts toward the sun in December and away from the sun in June.

• Because of convection currents

Why do temperatures get colder the further away you move from the equator?

• Because you get further away from the core

• The angle at which light hits the Earth gets more intense further away from the equator

• The Earth is the same temperature everywhere

• The angle at which light hits the Earth gets less intense further away from the equator

• Cold and dry weather

• cold and wet weather

• warm and dry weather

Why are clouds flat on the bottom?

• Because this is the point in the atmosphere where water condenses

• They aren't flat on the bottom, what is Mr. Stockey talking about?

• Because of convection currents

• Clouds are fluffy

What weather conditions are associated most with high pressure?

• Cloudy skies

• Precipitation

• Clear skies (fair weather)

• Northern Lights
