Decreases soil's ability to hold water

Increases soil's ability to hold water

It contains the thickest ozone layer.

What harmful effect does ozone in the troposphere have?

Damages plant stomata and forms smog

What happens to warm air as it rises?

It holds less moisture and cools.

Why do deserts form at 30° N and S?

Due to high moisture in the air.

What is the effect of condensation in the atmosphere?

It releases latent heat, causing air to rise.

It causes air to sink and warm.

What is the relationship between air temperature and moisture capacity?

Warm air holds more moisture than cold air.

Warm air holds less moisture than cold air.

Cold air holds more moisture than warm air.

Temperature does not affect moisture capacity.

What is the Coriolis Effect?

The deflection of objects traveling through the atmosphere due to the spin of the Earth

The increase in temperature as altitude increases

The gravitational pull of the moon on Earth's oceans

The change in wind direction due to mountain ranges

How does the speed of Earth's spin at 30° compare to 60°?

It is faster at 30° than at 60°

It is slower at 30° than at 60°

It is the same at both latitudes

It is twice as fast at 30° than at 60°

Why does the wind between 30-60 degrees latitude move from West to East?

Because the Earth spins faster at 30 degrees than at 60 degrees

Because the Earth spins faster at 60 degrees than at 30 degrees

Because of the gravitational pull of the sun

Because of the magnetic field of the Earth

What causes air to move from 30° to 0° and 60°?

High pressure at 30° and low pressure at 0° and 60°

Low pressure at 30° and high pressure at 0° and 60°

Equal pressure at all latitudes

What is the effect of the 0° - 30° winds on ocean currents in the Northern Hemisphere?

Drives ocean currents clockwise

Drives ocean currents counterclockwise

Has no effect on ocean currents

What factors affect the solar intensity of insolation (W/m²)?

Distance from the sun and time of day

Earth's rotation speed and cloud cover

Ocean currents and wind patterns

Why does the equator experience higher insolation than higher latitudes?

Sunlight strikes at a more direct angle

The equator is closer to the sun

The equator has less cloud cover

What happens to sunlight at high latitudes?

It spreads over a larger surface area

It passes through less atmosphere

It is concentrated on a smaller surface area

What causes varying insolation, length of day, and seasons on Earth?

The orbit of Earth around the sun and tilt on its axis

The orbit of the moon around Earth

The rotation of Earth on its axis

The distance of Earth from the sun

What happens during the June and December Solstices?

One hemisphere is maximally tilted toward the sun

Both hemispheres receive equal sunlight

The Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun

The Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun

What happens during the March equinox?

The equator receives the most direct insolation.

The Northern Hemisphere is tilted maximally toward the sun.

The Southern Hemisphere experiences the longest day.

The Northern Hemisphere experiences the shortest day.
