One morning, a student notices that the grass in the area is wet, although it had not rained during the night. What could have caused the grass to be wet?

• During the night, water had evaporated from the trees in the area.

• The air above the ground became warmer during the night and caused

  precipitation.

• When the air cooled above ground during the night, water vapor condensed

  on the grass.

• The grass soaked up water from the ground during the night.

Which best describes how fronts form?

• Weather fronts are formed by very high winds and heavy rain.

Why does a flannel blanket provide warmth to a person on a cold night?

• The blanket is a conductor of heat, so it warms the person’s body.

• The blanket is unable to remain cool, so it warms the person’s body.

• The blanket is warmer than the air in the room, so it warms the

  person’s body.

• The blanket acts as an insulator, slowing the rate at which a person’s body loses heat.
