In which way are condensation and evaporation similar?
Both cause by decrease in air temperature
both cause increase in air temperature
both are caused by the warming of the atmostphere
both are caused by changes in heat energy
Which best describes why winds at the beach change direction between day and night
because the temperatures over land and water change
because warm air over land sinks and stays in place over land
because cool air rises and is replaced by warm air over the ocean
because cool air sinks and stays in place over land
which will most likely result from a low-pressure system?
warm temperatures
cloudy conditions
clear conditions
cool temperatures
which is the best explanation for how air masses move across the united states?
the prevailing westerlies moves air masses from west to east across the united states but may be deflected by the jet stream
the trade winds move air masses from west to east across the united staes
the jet stream move air masses from the pacific ocean across the united states
the warm air of the gulf stream causes air masses to move from the atlantic ocean to the pacific ocean
which has the greatest affect on wind speed?
Precipitation
cloud cover
wind direction
air pressure

stormy
sunny
snowy
hot
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 high winds around the eye of a hurricane
it forces hot air around the equator to rise in areas in North america
Its 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 atmostphere
which process allows green plants to control the amount of water stored in their leaves
photosyntisis
condensation
respiration
transpiration
One morning Jane notices drops of water on the outside of her window .Later in the day she notices the dropd on her window disappeared. What most likely caused the drops to disappear?
the water condensed on the plants inside the house
energy from the sun caused the drops to evaporate
the water cooled enough to make the water evaporate
wind blowed on the window caused the water to evaporate
the weather forecast indicates that a warm front will be moving into the area in the next 24 hours. what kind of weather will most likely result?
clear skies and cold temperatures
clear skies and hot temperatures
cloudy skies and rainy weather
heavy snow and ice
what is the cause of rising surface temperatures of the pacific ocean,drought in the Western United States,and flooding in the western coast of south america
the gulf stream
the jet strteam
La Nina
El Nino
