What is the connection between the TEMPERATURE OF AIR and the MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF MOISTURE it can hold?
a)
The cooler the air, the more moisture it can hold AND the warmer the air, the less moisture it can hold
b)
The warmer the air, the more moisture it can hold AND the cooler the air, the less moisture it can hold
c)
The warmer the air, the less moisture it can hold, AND the cooler the air, the more moisture it can hold
d)
The cooler the air, the less moisture it can hold AND the cooler the air, the more moisture it can hold
7.
As the temperature INCREASES, what usually will happen to the relative humidity (RH)?
a)
RH decreases, because WARMER air can hold MORE moisture
b)
RH increases, because WARMER air can hold LESS moisture
8.
As the temperature DECREASES, what usually happens to the relative humidity (RH)?
a)
RH DECREASES because COOLER air can hold MORE moisture
b)
RH INCREASES because COOLER air can hold LESS moisture
9.
If the air is holding 20 g/m^3 of water and it can hold 30 g/m^3 of water, what is the relative humidity (RH)?
a)
20-30= 10% (RH)
b)
20+30= 50% (RH)
c)
20/30= 66.6% (RH)
d)
20 x 30= 600% (RH)
10.

a)
Hail forms in downdrafts and updrafts in ALTOCUMULUS clouds
b)
