Weather Patterns (Amplify) - End-of-Unit Review

What happens to water vapor when it cools?

• Water vapor condenses into liquid water.

• Water vapor evaporates into gas.

• Water vapor freezes into ice.

• Water vapor remains unchanged.

What is the difference between evaporation and condensation?

• Evaporation is the process of liquid turning into vapor, while condensation is vapor turning into liquid.

• Evaporation is the process of vapor turning into liquid, while condensation is liquid turning into vapor.

• Evaporation occurs only at boiling point, while condensation occurs at room temperature.

• Evaporation is a chemical change, while condensation is a physical change.

What is the relationship between temperature and rainfall in air parcels?

• Warmer air parcels can hold more water vapor, leading to more potential rainfall when they cool.

• Colder air parcels can hold more water vapor, leading to less potential rainfall when they warm.

• Temperature has no effect on the amount of rainfall in air parcels.

• Rainfall is only dependent on the humidity of the air parcels.

Why do warmer air parcels rise?

• They are heavier than cooler air.

• They are less dense than cooler air, causing them to rise.

• They contain more moisture than cooler air.

• They are pushed up by cooler air parcels.

What is the significance of energy transfer in weather patterns?

• It affects temperature, humidity, and the formation of clouds and precipitation.

• It has no impact on weather patterns.

• It only influences temperature but not humidity.

• It is only relevant in tropical regions.

What is the effect of surrounding air temperature on an air parcel?

• If an air parcel is warmer than the surrounding air, it will rise and may lead to rainfall.

• If an air parcel is cooler than the surrounding air, it will rise and may lead to clear skies.

• If an air parcel is warmer than the surrounding air, it will sink and may lead to drought.

• If an air parcel is at the same temperature as the surrounding air, it will remain stationary.

What is an air parcel?

• A solid object that contains air

• A volume of air that can move and change temperature and humidity

• A type of weather balloon

• A container for storing gases

What causes water droplets to form on the outside of a glass?

• Water vapor in the air condenses into liquid water on the cooler surface of the glass.

• The glass is filled with ice, causing moisture to form on the outside.

• The glass is made of a special material that attracts water molecules.

• The glass is placed in a humid environment without any temperature difference.

What happens to an air parcel when it rises?

• It contracts and heats up, leading to clear skies.

• It expands and cools, which can lead to condensation and rainfall.

• It remains the same temperature and pressure, causing no weather changes.

• It sinks and warms up, resulting in dry conditions.

What is condensation?

• The process where water vapor turns into liquid water.

• The process of water turning into vapor due to heat.

• The process of freezing water into ice.

• The process of water evaporating into the atmosphere.
