When cold air masses move over the warm water of a large lake during the winter, clouds often form above the lake. How would this cloud formation most likely affect areas downwind of the lake?

Areas downwind of the lake would receive precipitation.

Areas downwind of the lake would become much less windy.

Areas downwind of the lake would experience unseasonably warm weather.

Areas downwind of the lake would become very dry and hot.

Jet streams are narrow belts of high-speed, high-altitude winds that form:

between the boundaries of convection cells of rotating air.

between the boundaries of hot and cold air masses.

between the boundaries of high and low air pressures.

What would happen to air pressure as you would climb up a tall mountain?

Air pressure decreases the higher the elevation.

Air pressure increases the higher the elevation.

Air pressure stays the same throughout the entire atmosphere.

When a material's temperature increases, the molecules of the object:

Expand and it becomes less dense.

Expand and it becomes more dense.

Contract and it becomes more dense.

contract and it becomes less dense.

What is a stationary front?

When a cold air mass and warm air mass meet and remain in one place.

When a cold air mass moves into area and pushes up a warm air mass.

When a warm air mass follows a retreating cold air mass.

A volume of air in which the temperature and moisture content is nearly the same throughout.

Which of the following best describes a hurricane?

Large rotating storm with high speed winds forming over warm waters

A destructive rotating column of air that has very high speed winds

Which of these examples best describes an area experiencing 100% humidity?

A man is stuck in his car during a summer rainstorm
