2. At which location is air pressure lowest?

at the bottom of the Grand Canyon

3. Why is the air at sea level denser than air at high altitudes?

The air molecules are pushed closer together at sea level

The air molecules are pushed farther apart at sea level.

High altitudes cause air molecules to move close together.

Low altitudes cause air molecules to move farther apart.

4. Which of these statements is true?

Winds move from areas of high pressure toward areas of low pressure.

Winds move as the result of equal heating of Earth's surface.

Winds move because air pressure is the same across Earth's surface.

Winds move from areas of low pressure toward areas of high pressure.

5. How does the Coriolis effect influence global winds?

It causes the winds to curve to the right in the Northern Hemisphere.

It causes the winds to curve to the right in the Southern Hemisphere.

It causes the winds to flow directly from the equator to the poles.

It causes the winds to flow directly from the poles to the equator.

6. What causes a mountain breeze to form?

unequal heating and cooling of slopes and valleys

even heating and cooling of slopes and valleys

similar amounts of precipitation over land around the mountain

different amounts of precipitation over land around the mountain

7. Air becomes saturated when

condensation equals evaporation

evaporation is greater than condensation

condensation is greater than evaporation

condensation equals precipitation

8. Two rooms have the same humidity. One room is cooler than the other. Which of these statements is true?

The cooler room has the greater relative humidity.

Both rooms have the same relative humidty

The warmer room has the greater relative humidity.

The air molecules in the cooler room are farther apart.

air cools to its dew points and condenses

warm air sinks and evaporates in cool air

cool air rises and condenses in warm air

10. Precipitation forms when

water drops combine and becomes heavy enough to fall

water drops spread out in the air and evaporate

15. What are the three global wind belts in the Northern Hemisphere?

trade winds, westerlies, easterlies

horse latitudes, doldrums, trade winds

trade winds, horse latitudes, westerlies

trade winds, doldrums, easterlies

16. How are the doldrums and the horse latitudes alike?

they are both calm regions of air

they are both global wind belts

they are both high pressure systesm

17. What are the trade winds?

blow from the east and are strong, steady winds

blow from the west and calm regions of air

blow from the west and are strong, steady winds

Trevor watched as the barometer on his front porch showed a change in air pressure. What happened as Trevor was watching the air pressure change?

A low pressure system moved into the area.

A high pressure system moved into the area.

A low pressure system turned into a high pressure system.

A high pressure system turned into a low pressure system.
