What happens to the particle energy level as they move from D to E?

• Energy level increases
• Energy level decreases
• Energy levels do not change

What happens to the particles as they move from point B to C?

• Particles move further apart
• Particles move closer together
• Particle motion does not change

What happens to the particles at point C if the air temperature is below 32°F?

• Particles move further apart
• Particles move closer together
• Particle motion does not change

What is the main source of energy that powers the water cycle

• The moon
• The sun
• The wind
• Gravity

How does the water cycle relate to weather?

• The water cycle drives evaporation, cloud formation, and precipitation, which impacts weather patterns
• The water cycle causes wind to blow by moving water through the atmosphere
• The water cycle moves water, but does not impact temperature or precipitation
• The water cycle only impacts long-term climate, not daily weather changes

Why do places like Florida receive more rain than places like New Mexico?

• New Mexico's dry soil absorbs rain too quickly, which stops storms from forming
• Florida is colder, so less water evaporates, making it harder for clouds to form and produce rain.
• Rainfall is completely random, so some places just get more than others
• Florida is closer to the ocean, so more water evaporates into the air, leading to increased cloud formation and rainfall

What is causing the fog to disappear?

• The moon
• A decrease in air temperature
• A increase in air temperature

From 3:00 a.m to 6:30 a.m. the sun was _________ causing the air temperature to become _______________.

• up, warmer
• down, colder
• up, colder
• down,warmer
