6.3 Lesson 1-6 Quiz (Study Guide)

Hailstorms are

• most likely to form in summer.

• least likely to form in winter.

• equally likely to form in spring and fall.

• most likely to form during thunderstorms.

As sunlight shines on the ground,

• some of the light is absorbed and raises the temperature of the ground.

• the ground remains cool and unaffected.

• the sunlight reflects off the ground without any change.

• the ground becomes wet and muddy.

When the particles in the air gain energy

• they become less dense.

• they become more dense.

• they remain the same density.

• they start to condense.

As the air gets colder, the molecules

• get closer together and slow down.

• move further apart and speed up.

• remain the same distance apart and vibrate faster.

• increase in energy and move faster.

Conduction is

• the transfer of heat through touching surfaces like particle collision.

• the movement of heat through fluids without direct contact.

• the process of heat transfer through electromagnetic waves.

• the transfer of heat from a warmer object to a cooler object without any physical contact.

The movement of air parcels happens

• more often on sunny days, and less often on colder days.

• equally on sunny and rainy days.

• only during thunderstorms.

• more often at night than during the day.

As air rises,

• it warms up and retains its energy.

• it cools down and transfers its energy to the surrounding air.

• it becomes denser and sinks back down.

• it loses all its moisture and becomes dry.

The temperature of the air decreases as

• you move farther away from earth.

• the humidity increases.

• the altitude decreases.

• the air pressure increases.

Parcels of air that are less dense

• will rise.

• will sink.

• will remain stationary.

• will disperse.

Humidity measures

• the amount of water vapor in the air.

• the temperature of the air.

• the pressure of the air.

• the speed of the wind.
