Which part of the water cycle involves water turning into vapor and rising into the atmosphere?

• Precipitation

• Condensation

• Evaporation

• Collection

Explain how the ocean contributes to the water cycle.

• The ocean stores water and releases it only during storms.

• The ocean is a source of water vapor through evaporation, which later falls as precipitation.

• The ocean absorbs all precipitation and prevents it from reaching land.

• The ocean does not play a role in the water cycle.

Which of the following is NOT a form of precipitation?

• Rain

• Snow

• Fog

• Hail

FL.SC.5.E.7.4

How does air temperature affect the type of precipitation that falls?

• Higher temperatures always result in snow.

• Lower temperatures can lead to snow or sleet, while higher temperatures result in rain.

• Temperature has no effect on precipitation type.

• Only wind speed affects precipitation type.

What weather conditions are typically found in a desert environment?

• High humidity and frequent rain

• Low humidity and high temperatures

• High humidity and low temperatures

• Frequent snow and low temperatures

FL.SC.5.E.7.5

Which factor is NOT used to determine the weather in a particular place and time?

• Air temperature

• Barometric pressure

• Ocean depth

• Wind speed

FL.SC.5.E.7.3

Describe how barometric pressure can influence weather conditions.

• High pressure usually leads to clear skies, while low pressure can lead to clouds and precipitation.

• Barometric pressure only affects ocean currents.

• Low pressure always results in sunny weather.

• Barometric pressure has no effect on weather.

Which of the following environments is likely to have the highest humidity?

• Desert

• Swamp

• Mountain

• Tundra

How does wind direction affect weather patterns?

• Wind direction has no impact on weather.

• Wind direction can bring different air masses, affecting temperature and precipitation.

• Wind direction only affects ocean tides.

• Wind direction only changes during storms.
