The model is showing two different weather events. Which weather do you think will produce the least amount of rainfall and why?

Storm Y will produce the least amount of rainfall because it has the lowest temperature.

Storm X will produce the least amount of rainfall because it has the lowest surface water.

Storm Y will produce the least amount of rainfall because it has the highest surface water.

Storm X will produce the least amount of rainfall because it has the lowest temperature.

This image shows two different cities that are both located near a body of water. Which city will experience more rainfall and why?

Powell City will experience more rainfall because there is a large amount of surface water.

Powell City will experience more rainfall because there is a small amount of surface water.

Dry City will experience more rainfall because there is a small amount of surface water.

Dry City will experience more rainfall because there is a large amount of surface water.

This image shows energy being transferred in a system. Where does energy transfer to an air parcel from?

The sun's energy transfers to the surface then the surface transfers energy to the air parcel.

The sun's energy transfers directly to an air parcel.

An air parcel creates it's own energy.

Air parcels do not change temperature which means energy is never transferred.

Day 1 and Day 2 in Kokomo started with the same amount of water vapor in the air parcels over Kokomo. It rained at the end of Day 1 but it did not rain at the end of Day 2. What could have happened to the air parcel to cause rainfall on Day 1?

The air parcel was warmer than the surrounding air, so it lost energy.

The air parcel was at the same low temperature as the surrounding air, so it had low energy.

The air parcel was warmer than the surrounding air, so it gained energy.

The air parcel was cooler than the surrounding air, so it gained energy

There were two rainstorms in Chateh last month. Before Storm 1, Chateh’s temperature at the surface was 19°C. Before Storm 2, the air temperature at the surface was 28°C. The temperature of areas surrounding Chateh was the same before both storms. Which storm likely had more rainfall?

Storm 2. The air parcel at the surface was warmer and had more energy, so when it moved higher, it lost more energy.

Storm 1. The air parcel at the surface was cooler and had less energy, so when it moved higher, it gained more energy.

Storm 1. The air parcel at the surface was cooler and had less energy, so with low energy it remained near the surface.

Storm 2. The air parcel at the surface was warmer and had more energy, so when cooler air from above came down, it lost more energy.

There were two rainstorms in Marion last month. Before Storm 1, Marion’s temperature at the surface was 26°C. Before Storm 2, the air temperature at the surface was 14°C. The temperature of areas surrounding Marion was the same before both storms. Which storm is likely to have had more rainfall?

Storm 1. The air parcel at the surface was warmer and had more energy, so when it moved higher, it lost more energy.

Storm 1. The air parcel at the surface was warmer and had more energy, so when cooler air from above came down, it lost more energy.

Storm 2. The air parcel at the surface was cooler and had less energy, so when it moved higher, it gained more energy.

Storm 2. The air parcel at the surface was cooler and had less energy, so with low energy it remained near the surface.

A measure of how hot or cold something is

An amount of air that moves as a unit

The town of San Angelo had two rainstorms in July. Storm 1 had more rainfall than Storm 2. The temperature of the surrounding areas was the same before both storms. What could explain why Storm 1 had more rainfall than Storm 2? Before Storm 1, the air parcel at the surface could have been:

warmer, so when the air parcel moved higher, it lost more energy.

warmer, so when cooler air from above moved down, it lost more energy.

cooler, so when the air parcel moved higher, it gained more energy.

cooler, so the air parcel had low energy and remained near the surface.

Air Parcel 1 is the same temperature as the surrounding air. Air parcel 2 is warmer than the surrounding air. Air Parcel 1 and Air Parcel 2 started with the same amount of water vapor in them. Which air parcel will have more rainfall and why?

Both air parcels will have the same amount of rain. They have the same surrounding air temperature, so the same amount of water vapor will fall as rain.

Air Parcel 1 is colder than Air Parcel 2, so more water vapor will fall as rain.

Air Parcel 2 will lose energy to the surrounding air, which will cause more water vapor to fall as rain.

Air Parcel 2 will gain energy from the surrounding air, which will cause more water vapor to fall as rain.
