Science 9 students performed an activity about viscosity or resistance to flow. Determine the best conclusion for the said sample liquids.

• Honey has the highest viscosity because of its stickiness feature, and longer time flow and water has the lowest due to its colorless and fast flow.

• Honey has the lowest viscosity because of its stickiness feature and water has the highest due to its colorless and fast flow.

Why are polar regions colder than tropical regions?

• They are covered in ice, which cools the surrounding area.

•   They receive no sunlight year-round.

•    The Sun’s rays hit these areas at an angle, spreading the energy.

How does latitude influence climate overall?

•    It is the only factor controlling weather patterns.

•   It determines the amount of sunlight and temperatures a region receives.

How does altitude affect climate overall?

• It keeps all areas at high altitudes dry and warm.

•    It makes high-altitude areas cooler and changes precipitation patterns.

• It only influences temperature, not precipitation.

Why do fewer people live in high- altitude regions compare to lowlands?

•   High altitude areas have poor access to sunlight

•   The temperature is too warm at high altitudes.

• The conditions are colder, oxygen levels are lower, and resources are limited.

What happens to moist air as it rises along the windward side of a mountain?

 

• It warms up and loses moisture

• It cools, and water vapor condenses to form clouds.

• A.    It becomes drier and creates a desert

• A.    It moves faster due to gravity.

How does topography influence climate based on the passage?

•    It creates uniform weather conditions in an area.

• It prevents air from rising and cooling.

•   It affects wind and precipitation patterns.

• It eliminates differences between ecosystems.

What is the primary role of greenhouse gases in Earth’s atmosphere?

•   They trap heat to keep the planet warm

•    They reflect sunlight away from the Earth.

• They allow all heat to escape into space.

• They cool the Earth’s surface.

Why it is important to reduce greenhouse gas emissions?

• To slow down global warming and mitigate climate change impacts.

•   To increase the Sun’s energy reaching Earth.

•     To eliminate all carbon dioxide from the atmosphere

Why are forests important in addressing climate change?

• They cool the Earth’s surface by providing shade.

•     They absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

• They produce oxygen for humans and animals.

• A.    They increase biodiversity in urban areas
