Weather Unit 1 Test Review

What happens to air pressure as you increase in altitude through the atmosphere?

• Air pressure remains constant

• Air pressure decreases

• Air pressure increases

• Air pressure increases, then decreases

What is the primary source of energy that drives the water cycle, wind, and convection?

Process when gasses in Earth's atmosphere trap the Sun's heat. This makes Earth warmer than it would be without an atmosphere.

• Greenhouse Effect

• Climate Zone Effect

• Ozone Effect

• Convection Current

• Oxygen

• Nitrogen

Protective layer of gasses that absorb harmful UV light within the Stratosphere.

• Stratosphere

• Greenhouse Layer

• Ozone Layer

Use the data table. Over the past 150 years which atmospheric gas do most scientists believe is responsible for a rapid increase in global average temperatures?

• Methane

• Water Vapor

• Nitrogen

• Carbon Dioxide

Suppose deforestation continues to increase as the human population increases. How will this most likely impact Earth?

• If forests are cleared, they release carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.

• If forests are cleared, then less greenhouse gases are released.

• Deforestation has no effect on Earth's Climate.

• If forests are cleared, Earth's climate will slowly cool over time.
