WP: FINAL EXAM English

Untitled Question

• a. The air parcel was warmer than the surrounding air, so it lost energy.
• b. The air parcel was warmer than the surrounding air, so it gained energy.
• c. The air parcel was at the same low temperature as the surrounding air, so it had low energy.
• d. The air parcel was cooler than the surrounding air, so it gained energy.

• a. Storm 1. The air parcel at the surface was warmer and had more energy, so when it moved higher, it lost more energy.
• b. Storm 1. The air parcel at the surface was warmer and had more energy, so when cooler air from above came down, it lost more energy.
• c. Storm 2. The air parcel at the surface was cooler and had less energy, so when it moved higher, it gained more energy.
• d. Storm 2. The air parcel at the surface was cooler and had less energy, so with low energy it remained near the surface.

• a. warmer than before Storm 2 and windy. Wind pushed more water vapor out of the warmer air parcel.
• b. warmer than before Storm 2 and windy. Wind pushed the warmer air parcel even higher and the air parcel lost more energy.
• c. cooler than before Storm 2 and windy. Wind caused the cooler air from above the air parcel to move down, causing the cooler air parcel at the surface to lose more energy.
• d. cooler than before Storm 2 and windy. Wind pushed the cooler air parcel even higher and the air parcel gained more energy.

• a. Both air parcels will have the same amount of rain. They have the same surrounding air temperature, so the same amount of water vapor will fall as rain.
• b. Air Parcel 1 is colder than Air Parcel 2, so more water vapor will fall as rain.
• c. Air Parcel 2 will gain energy from the surrounding air, which will cause more water vapor to fall as rain.
• d. Air Parcel 2 will lose energy to the surrounding air, which will cause more water vapor to fall as rain.

• a. The air parcel was at the same low temperature as the surrounding air, so it had low energy.
• b. The air parcel was warmer than the surrounding air, so it gained energy.
• c. The air parcel was warmer than the surrounding air, so it lost energy.
• d. The air parcel was cooler than the surrounding air, so it gained energy.

• a. cooler than before Storm 1 and windy. Wind pushed the cooler air parcel even higher, and the air parcel gained more energy.
• b. cooler than before Storm 1 and windy. Wind caused the cooler air from above the air parcel to move down, causing the cooler air parcel at the surface to lose more energy.
• c. warmer than before Storm 1 and windy. Wind pushed more water vapor out of the warmer air parcel.
• d. warmer than before Storm 1 and windy. Wind pushed the warmer air parcel even higher, and the air parcel lost more energy.
