How does wind affect an air parcel and the amount of rain it can produce?

Wind increases the amount of rain an air parcel can produce by lifting it higher.

Wind decreases the amount of rain an air parcel can produce by dispersing moisture.

Wind has no effect on the amount of rain an air parcel can produce.

Wind causes the air parcel to warm up, reducing rainfall.

On Day 1 and Day 2, the air parcel above San Angelo started with the same amount of water vapor in it. It rained at the end of Day 1 but it did not rain at the end of Day 2. Why did it rain on Day 1 but not on Day 2? What could have been different to cause rainfall on Day 1?

The air parcel was warmer than the surrounding air on Day 1, so it lost energy on Day 1 but not on Day 2.

The air parcel was warmer than the surrounding air on Day 1, so it gained energy on Day 1 but not on Day 2.

The air parcel was at the same low temperature as the surrounding air on Day 1, so it had low energy on Day 1 but not on Day 2.

The air parcel was cooler than the surrounding air on Day 1, so it gained energy on Day 1 but not on Day 2.

The air temperature of Oakland is higher than the air temperature of Eastland. What is the main cause for the different air temperatures?

More energy from the sun is transferred to the ground in Oakland than in Eastland, and that energy is transferred to the air above it.

More energy from the sun is transferred to the air in Oakland than in Eastland, and that energy is transferred from the air to the ground below it.

The heat from the center of Earth transferred more energy to the ground in Oakland than in Eastland, and that energy transferred to the air above it.

There was less wind in Oakland and more wind in Eastland. Wind moved more energy out of the air in Eastland than in Oakland.

Bonnie left a hot bowl of soup in a cool room. Her friend tells her that her soup will get cold if she forgets to eat it. How cold could it get?

Only as cold as the temperature of the room. It will stop cooling down when it is exactly the same temperature as the room.

Only a little colder. It started out much hotter, so it will stop cooling down before it reaches the same temperature as the room.

Only a little colder. It will stop cooling down when its temperature is about halfway between its starting temperature and the temperature of the room.

Colder than the temperature of the room. It will keep cooling down for as long as she leaves it in the room.

Jamar left a cup of hot chocolate in a cool room. His mother tells him that his hot chocolate will get cold if he forgets to drink it. How cold could it get?

Only as cold as the temperature of the room. It will stop cooling down when it is exactly the same temperature as the room.

Colder than the temperature of the room. It will keep cooling down for as long as he leaves it in the room.

Only a little colder. It started out much hotter, so it will stop cooling down before it reaches the same temperature of the room.

Only a little colder. It will stop cooling down when its temperature is about halfway between its starting temperature and the temperature of the room.

John put a bottle of water on the desk and left the room. When he came back, he found water drops on the outside of the bottle. Where did the water on the outside of the bottle come from?

The air in the room. Water vapor in the air turned into liquid water.

The air in the room. Oxygen in the air turned into liquid water.

Water inside the bottle. The water leaked through the bottle.

Water inside the bottle. The water moved along the surface of the bottle.

Rochelle had two rainstorms in February. Storm 1 had more rainfall than Storm 2. The temperature of the surrounding areas was the same before both storms. What conditions could have caused Storm 1 to have more rainfall than Storm 2? Before Storm 1, Rochelle could have been...

warmer than before Storm 2 and windy. Wind pushed the warmer air parcel even higher and the air parcel lost more energy.

warmer than before Storm 2 and windy. Wind pushed more water vapor out of the warmer air parcel.

cooler than before Storm 2 and windy. Wind caused the cooler air from above the air parcel to move down, causing the cooler air parcel at the surface to lose more energy.

cooler than before Storm 2 and windy. Wind pushed the cooler air parcel even higher and the air parcel gained more energy.

Which Storm likely had more rainfall and why?

Storm 1. Wind pushed the warmer air parcel even higher in the troposphere and the air parcel lost more energy.

Storm 1. Wind pushed more water vapor out of the warmer air parcel.

Storm 2. Wind caused cooler air from above the air parcel to move down, causing the air parcel at the surface to lose more energy.

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

What happens after the surface is heated by the sun?

Energy from the heated surface transfers to the air above and warms it.

Energy from the sun heats the air.

The surface loses all its energy

When will an air parcel stop losing energy? (Select all that applies)

When the air parcel reaches equilibrium with the surrounding air

When the air parcel is the same as the surrounding air temperature.

When the air parcel runs out of water vapor

Do you think the air parcel shown will rise?

Yes, because it is less dense than the surrounding air.

No, because it is more dense than the surrounding air.

Yes, because it is at a lower temperature than the surrounding air.

No, because it is at the same temperature as the surrounding air.
