Which best describes why winds at the beach change direction between day and night?
because the temperatures over land and over water change
because warm air over land sinks and stays in place over land
because cool air rises and is replaced by warm air from the ocean
because cool air sinks and stays in place over land

How will freezing air temperatures most likely affect rain as it falls through the air?
It will change to fog.
It will change to hail.
It will change to sleet.
It will continue to fall as rain.
Which best explains why a nearby body of water tends to make local temperatures milder?
Water constantly releases heat into the air.
Water gains and loses heat more slowly than land.
Some water stays liquid when everything else is frozen.
When water is frozen it protects the nearby area from wind.
Which most likely produces clear, cool weather?
zero air pressure
stable air pressure
a low pressure system
a high pressure system
Which conditions will result in high winds?
large differences in air pressure
heavy rains over several days
increase in evaporation rates
presence of cirrus clouds
What is the primary cause of wind?
the uneven heating of Earth
precipitation falling to Earth
many gases released into the air
water constantly evaporating into the atmosphere
If the temperature is 20°F all they way from the ground to the cloud, in which form will precipitation most likely be?
fog
hail
rain
snow
How would the daytime temperature for Figure 2 differ from Figure 1?
The temperature would be the same.
The temperature would be lower due to cloud cover.
The temperature would be higher due to the greenhouse effect.
