In which ways are evaporation and condensation similar?

Both are caused by changes in heat energy .

Both cause decreases in air temperature

Both cause increases in air temperature

Both are caused by the warming of the atmosphere

What must occur before clouds can form?

water vapor must lose heat energy

Precipitation must begin to fall and run off

Transpiration must add water vapor to the atmosphere

One morning, Jane notices drops of water on the outside window. Later in the day, she notices that the drops have disappeared. What MOST LIKELY caused the drops to disappear?

Energy from the sun caused the water to evaporate.

The water condensed on the plants around the house.

The water cooled enough to turn into water vapor.

Wind blowing on the window turned the water into vapor.

The weather forecast indicates that a warm front will be moving into the area in the next 24 hours. Which type of weather will MOST LIKELY result?

clear skies and cold temperatures

clear skies and hot temperatures

The weather forecast indicates that a cold front will be moving into the area in the next 24 hours. Which type of weather will MOST LIKELY result?

cold weather with a narrow band of precipitation can bring thunderstorms, hair, snow, tornadoes

clear skies and cold temperatures

movement of high pressure to low pressure

movement of low pressure to high pressure

A stationary front is moving into NC. What type of weather can we likely expect?

Rain showers that last a long time.

Sunny for a few hours then thunderstorms

No change from the current weather

Which statement best describes temperature patterns in areas in the mid latitudes?

Temperatures in the mid latitudes vary from hot in the summer to cold in the winter.

Temperatures in the mid latitudes are consistently warm all year long.

Temperatures in the mid latitudes are consistently cool all year long.

Which best explains why a nearby body of water tends to make local temperatures milder?

Water gains and loses heat more slowly than land.

Water constantly releases heat into the air.

Some water stays liquid when everything else is frozen.

When water is frozen it protects the nearby area from wind.

Which correctly compares low- and high-pressure weather systems?

A low-pressure system usually brings clouds and precipitation, while a high-pressure system brings cool dry air and clear skies.

A low-pressure system usually brings cool dry air and clear skies, while a high-pressure system brings clouds and preciptation.

A low-pressure system usually brings warm dry air and clear skies, while a high-pressure system usually brings warm moist air and precipitation.

Why do hurricanes die out soon after hitting landfall?

Warm water no longer feeds them.

Rotation of the storm changes direction.

Which best describes the Gulf Stream

an ocean current which originates in the Gulf of Mexico and causes warm water to travel up the east coast of the United States

an ocean current which originates in the Gulf of Mexico and causes cool water to travel up the east coast of the United States

an ocean current which originates in the Gulf of Mexico and causes warm water to travel down the each coast of Mexico

an ocean current which originates in the Gulf of Mexico and causes cool water to travel down the east coast of Mexico

Large bodies of water affect climate of the land next to them because

water heats up and cools more slowly than land

water heats up and cools faster than land

water and land cool at the same time

water and land heat at the same rate

Some coastal regions of the world have cooler summers and warmer winters than inland regions at the same latitude. What accounts for this difference in climates?

The ocean moderates air temperatures.

Coastal areas receive more sunlight.

Prevailing winds moderate the weather.

The equator tends to contain regions with hot climates. However, the Rwenzori Mountains, which are located close to the equator, are covered in ice caps. Why is the climate of the Rwenzori Mountains not hot?

Temperatures decrease with elevation.

Regions away from the ocean are cooler.

Clouds form a cold blanket over the mountains.

The mountains block radiation from the Sun.

In which of the following ways can mountains influence climate?

Mountains cause air to rise. The rising air cools, resulting in condensation and precipitation.

Mountains have a higher elevation than surrounding areas. Because these areas are closer to the sun, they enjoy a warmer climate.

Mountains have no affect on the climate of an area.

Mountains interfere with moving air. The air moves up the mountain, and circles back down, eventually causing tornadoes.

As a school project one year, Sarah and Ruby decide to collect local climate data and compare the average monthly high and low temperatures from their cities. The data they collect are shown. Based on the climate data that Sarah and Ruby collect, they can conclude that

locations by the ocean typically do not get as cold in the winter or as hot in the summer as locations that are located inland.

locations by the ocean typically get much less precipitation during the summer than locations that are located inland.

locations by the ocean typically get much colder in the winter and much hotter in the summer than locations that are located inland.

locations by the ocean typically get much less precipitation during the winter than locations that are located inland.

Which of the following best explains why the latitude of a region influences its climate?

The latitude of a region determines how much sunlight the area receives.

The latitude of a region determines its proximity to the ocean.

The latitude of a region determines the land forms present in the area.

The latitude of a region determines its elevation above sea level.
