Weather (NC Coach Reviews)

What is a thermometer used for?

• To measure temperature.

• To measure weight.

• To measure distance.

• To measure speed.

What is precipitation?

• A type of weather phenomenon that involves the formation of clouds.

• Any form of water, liquid or solid, that falls from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface, such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

• A measurement of the amount of water vapor in the air.

• The process of water evaporating from the Earth's surface into the atmosphere.

What is transpiration in plants?

• The process by which plants absorb water from the soil.

• The process by which green plants release water vapor from their leaves into the atmosphere.

• The process of photosynthesis in plants.

• The process of nutrient uptake by plant roots.

What is condensation?

• The process of water vapor cooling and changing back into liquid water, forming clouds or dew.

• The process of water evaporating into vapor due to heat.

• The process of ice melting into water due to temperature increase.

• The process of water being absorbed by soil and plants.

What is the difference between climate and weather?

• Climate refers to the short-term atmospheric conditions, while weather refers to the long-term average of weather conditions in a particular area.

• Climate refers to the long-term average of weather conditions in a particular area, while weather refers to the short-term atmospheric conditions.

• Climate and weather are essentially the same and can be used interchangeably.

• Weather is determined by geographical location, while climate is determined by altitude.

What is humidity?

• Humidity is the amount of water vapor present in the air, which can affect weather conditions.

• Humidity is the measure of temperature in the atmosphere.

• Humidity refers to the speed of wind in a given area.

• Humidity is the level of air pressure in the environment.

What is evaporation?

• The process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas, usually due to heat from the sun.

• The process of water freezing into ice due to low temperatures.

• The process of water being absorbed by plants from the soil.

• The process of water being converted into steam by boiling.

What is the water cycle?

• The process of water moving through the atmosphere, including evaporation and precipitation.

• The continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth, including processes like evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.

• A method of purifying water through filtration and chemical treatment.

• The cycle of water used in irrigation and agriculture.

When are cumulus clouds most likely seen?

• On a sunny day.

• During a thunderstorm.

• At night.

• In winter.

What does an anemometer measure?
