• Her average speed was faster during the first half of her walk.

• She walked in two different directions.

• She was walking at a constant speed.

In which way are evaporation and condensation similar?

Which is the best explanation for how air masses move across the United States?

• The prevailing westerlies move air masses from west to east across the

  United States but may be deflected by the jet stream.

• The trade winds move air masses from west to east across the

  United States.

• The jet stream moves air masses from the Pacific Ocean across the

  United States.

• The warm air of the Gulf Stream causes air masses to move from the

  Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean.
