What is the relationship between the temperature of ocean currents, air masses, and the wind speed of a typhoon?

As ocean current temperature increases, air mass temperature and moisture increase, and wind speed increases.

As ocean current temperature decreases, air mass temperature and moisture decrease, and wind speed decreases.

Neveah looks at a weather map and notices New Orleans, LA is experiencing extremely low air pressure. Areas around New Orleans are experiencing higher air pressure. Which choice best describes the weather in New Orleans? The weather is likely cloudy, with high winds.

The weather is likely cloudy, with high winds.

The weather is likely clear, with calm winds.

The weather is likely rainy, with thunderstorms.

The weather is likely snowy, with blizzards.

Earthquakes, Volcanic eruptions, and Tsunamis

Deforestation, Urbanization, and Pollution

Tulsa, Oklahoma & Monterey, California are located at about the same latitude. Tulsa is inland. Monterey is on the Pacific Ocean coast. Which statement best explains the differences in climate?

Monterey is cooler because it is in proximity to water, which moderates its climate.

Tulsa is warmer because it is closer to the equator.

Monterey is warmer because it is closer to the ocean.

Tulsa is cooler because it is further from the ocean.

An occluded front is when:

A warm front gets trapped by two cold fronts

A cold front gets trapped by two warm fronts

A warm front overtakes a cold front

A cold front overtakes a warm front

Which of the following statements correctly describes a weather front and the weather it causes?

A warm front occurs when a warm air mass rises above a cooler air mass, increasing the chance of rain.

A cold front occurs when a cold air mass pushes under a warm air mass, causing thunderstorms.

A stationary front occurs when two air masses meet and neither moves, causing prolonged rain.

An occluded front occurs when a warm air mass is caught between two cold air masses, causing snow.

Which two statements accurately describe jet streams? Choose 2 answers.

Jet streams are narrow bands of high-speed wind that occur high in the atmosphere.

Jet streams are responsible for moving weather systems across the globe.

Jet streams are found at the surface of the Earth.

Jet streams are slow-moving air currents.

Which statements most accurately describe the interaction between solar energy, the hydrosphere, and the atmosphere?

The sun’s energy heats Earth unevenly, causing wind in the atmosphere.

The sun’s energy heats Earth evenly, causing calm weather.

The hydrosphere absorbs solar energy, causing ocean currents.

The atmosphere blocks all solar energy, preventing weather changes.

Which statement accurately describes the effect of ocean currents on the formation of tropical cyclones/hurricanes?

Tropical cyclones form at locations C and D because water evaporates from the warm ocean water, causing an area of high pressure.

Tropical cyclones form at locations A and B because cold water currents cool the air above.

Tropical cyclones form at locations E and F because of the Coriolis effect.

Tropical cyclones form at locations G and H because of high salinity in the water.

When a warm air mass collides and climbs over a cold air mass like a wedge . . .

Results in longer periods of precipitation & warmer temperatures

Results in short heavy rains, thunderstorms, and warmer temperatures

Results in no precipitation and cooler temperatures

When a rapidly moving cold air mass overtakes a slow-moving warm air mass

Always have temps in freezing or below

When warm air brings temps closer to the 80's or 90's

Which choice describes the EFFECTS (not what causes them) of global patterns of atmospheric movements?

Regional climates, Local Weather Patterns, and Tropical Cyclones

Uneven distribution of heat on Earth, Jet Streams, and Coriolis Effect

When a warm air mass overtakes a cold air mass, warmer temps, & longer period of light rain

When a cold air mass overtakes a warm air mass, colder temps, and no rain/only sunshine

The Coriolis Effect influences wind patterns by causing them to:

Curve to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere

Move straight from high to low pressure without deflection

Increase in speed with altitude

Move directly from the poles to the equator
