The image is a model showing the processes of the water cycle. Water uptake to the atmosphere occurs through the processes of evaporation and transpiration from plants where it condenses to form clouds. Clouds release the water through precipitation. During an extreme rainy season, what can we expect to happen to the surface ground water stored in ponds and lakes?

water levels will increase because there is more precipitation

animals drink more water, so water levels decrease

water levels will increase because there is more evaporation and transpiration

water levels will decrease because there is more evaporation and transpiration

Describe the role of temperature change in cloud formation.

Water on Earth heats up and evaporates into the atmosphere, then cools and condenses to form clouds.

As water on Earth cools down, it condenses in the air and forms clouds.

As water on Earth cools down, it evaporates into the atmosphere and forms clouds.

Water on Earth heats up and evaporates into the atmosphere. Water vapor continues to heat up to form clouds.

Fronts are transition zones between cool and warm air masses. The leading edge of a wedge of cold air represents the frontal zone. The front is called a cold front if the wedge is moving into an area of warmer air. If the wedge is retreating, the front is called a warm front with warmer air moving into an area previously occupied by cool air. Which weather condition is NOT associated with cold fronts?

pressure rising steadily before passing and falling steadily after passing

sudden drop of temperature as front passes

strong thunderstorms along and ahead of the front

winds south-southwest before passing and west-northwest after passing

Technological advances had helped reveal that the ocean floor was not flat, as once believed, but instead was marked by 50,000-kilometer-long, 3,000-meter-high ridges and 11-kilometer-deep trenches. How do scientists explain why, if new crust is constantly being formed from volcanic materials at the ridges, Earth's crust stays the same size?

Scientists found that the youngest oceanic crust is located nearest the mid-ocean ridge and divergent boundary and the oldest crust is at subduction zones where it sinks back into the Earth.

Seafloor spreading is the cause of new crust being added. Old crust crumbles and forms mountains throughout the Earth's surface. Mountains keep growing.

Scientists hypothesize that new crust is the result of volcanic activity throughout the Earth's surface and older magma is destroyed as it subducts during earthquakes into Earth's mantle.

Scientists found that the oldest oceanic crust is located nearest the mid-ocean ridge and forms from volcanic activity; the youngest crust is nearest the trenches and it comes from magma flowing up to Earth's surface.

Check out the map showing tornado alley in the U.S. During the winter of 2017, massive tornadoes occurred in the states of Alabama and Georgia, two states that ARE NOT in tornado alley. If the conditions for a tornado are predictable, how could these tornadoes have formed in these two states?

Warm, moist Gulf coast air meets cold, dry continental air moving down from Canada

Warm, moist Pacific coast air meets cold, Atlantic coast air

Arctic, Canadian air meets west moving air from the cold Atlantic coast

A northeastern air mass drops down into the southern states bringing precipitation

Meteorologists are able to predict weather within probable ranges because air masses responsible for weather interact in predictable ways. The boundary at which two air masses meet is called a front, which is the main cause of stormy weather. This weather map shows conditions for severe weather. Which statement best elaborates on how air masses would interact to cause severe weather?

Cold air is denser than warm air, so the cold air mass travels beneath the warm air, pushing it up. Storms are often the result of rising warm air.

Warm air masses and cold air masses have different densities, and when they mix, their densities stabilize, and excess moisture is released.

As the fronts move away from one another, the cold air mass is heated by the warm air mass. When cool air becomes warm, precipitation falls.

Since warm air is more dense than cold air, the cold air mass is forced higher. When the cold air becomes too heavy, it releases heavy precipitation.

This table shows sizes of Earth's oceans. Based on this table and the makeup of Earth's total water, which reasonable conclusion can be made?

Earth's largest source of salt water is the Pacific Ocean.

Earth's seas contain more salt water than the oceans.

Earth's land has more surface area than Earth's oceans.

The Pacific Ocean is larger than all other oceans combined.

A simplified model of atmospheric convection is shown here. Which of the statements explains how convection occurs to move energy around the Earth? Select ALL that apply.

The warmer air rises within the atmosphere.

Colder air in the atmosphere is denser and sinks down to the Earth.

The solar energy makes the surface of the Earth warmer than the atmosphere.

Colder air moves northward while warmer air moves southward.

Warmer air moves to the west while colder air moves to the east.

The ocean floor is not flat. There are many interesting features and landforms found in the ocean. See if you can label these landforms of the ocean floor. abyssal plain - rift zone - continental slope - continental shelf -

As a student is heating up a flask of water on a hot plate, their teacher tells them that they can observe all three types of heat transfer. 1 _______ can be seen as the hot water warms and rises and cools, 2 _______ can be seen as heat moves from the hot plate and through the glass flask, and 3 _______ can be seen by holding a hand over the hot plate and feeling warmth without touching it.

convection conduction radiation

conduction radiation convection

radiation convection conduction

How would climate change impact the water cycle and the climate around bodies of water, like oceans and lakes?

Warmer temperatures would cause more evaporation and more precipitation.

Warmer temperatures would cause in a drier, hotter climate.

Warmer temperatures would cause more precipitation and less run-off.

Warmer temperatures would cause more evaporation and much less ground water.
