Which is most responsible for the uneven heating of the air in the atmosphere?
radiation
convection
conduction
condensation
A pot is heated on a stove. Which process causes the metal handle of the pot to also become hot?
combustion
convection
radiation
conduction
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
Which has the greatest effect on wind speed?
precipitation
cloud cover
wind direction
air pressure
After a rain, a puddle of water remains on the sidewalk. After a day of sunshine, the puddle is gone. Which process is most responsible for the disappearance of the puddle?
precipitation
transpiration
evaporation
condensation
A student notices that an inflated balloon gets larger when it is warmed by a lamp. Which best describes the mass of the balloon as a result of this change?
The balloon's mass increases because the size of the balloon increases.
The balloon's mass increases because the temperature of the balloon has increased.
The balloon's mass stays the same because the gas inside the balloon still has the same mass
The balloon's mass stays the same because warming decreases the mass enough to cancel out the effect of increasing the size.
People sitting around a campfire are able to feel the heat from the fire. How are they able to feel the heat from the fire without touching the fire?
The heat from the fire travels through the ground and heats the ground around people.
The heat from the fire is conducted through air molecules to the people.
The heat from the fire rises in the air and then settles around the people.
The heat from the fire radiates from the fire to the people.
Bill stands in a swimming pool and notices that the water around his feet is a lot cooler than the water near the surface. Which process causes this difference in temperature?
convection
evaporation
radiation
conduction

Which best describes a characteristic of the jet stream?
It forms a boundary between a cold air mass and a warm air mass
It creates the high winds around the eye of a hurricane.
It forces the hot air along the equator to rise to areas in North America.
It causes high pressure air masses to rotate clockwise.
What must occur before clouds can form?
Water vapor must get warmer.
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 of her window. Later in the day, she notices that the drops have disappeared. What most likely caused them to disappear?
The water condensed on the plants around the house.
Energy from the sun caused the water to evaporate.
The water cooled enough to turn into water vapor.
Wind blowing on the window turned the water into vapor.
