4

4.

where does the wind converge in convergence?

a)

in the air

b)

at a mountain

c)

low pressure

d)

high pressure

5.

where are Orographic lifts located?

a)

water

b)

a mountain

c)

low pressure

d)

a hill

6.

what is Buoyancy?

a)

the ability to fall

b)

the ability to produce

c)

the ability to rise

d)

the ability to bounce

7.

what is thermal?

a)

heat

b)

cold

8.

what is frontal wedging?

a)

the front of a wedge

b)

cold flashes

c)

the interaction of warm and cold air

d)

the interaction of hot and thermal air

9.

what direction is vertical?

a)

up and down

b)

left and right

10.

what are warm fronts?

a)

Warm fronts are when the warm air of a warm front will rise over the cooler air at the surface due to its lower density.

b)

Warm fronts are when the warm air of a warm front will rise over the hotter air at the surface due to its high density.

c)

Warm fronts are when the cold air is more dense than warm air and as a result, it pushes the warm air vertically ahead of it as it moves.

d)

Warm fronts are when the warm air is more dense than warm air and as a result, it pushes the warm air vertically ahead of it as it moves.

11.

what are cold fronts?

a)

Cold fronts are when the warm air is more dense than warm air and as a result, it pushes the warm air vertically ahead of it as it moves.

b)

Cold fronts are when the cold air is more dense than warm air and as a result, it pushes the warm air vertically ahead of it as it moves.

c)

Cold fronts are when the cold air is more dense than warm air and as a result, it pushes the warm air horizontally ahead of it as it moves.

d)

Cold fronts are when the cold air is more dense than warm air and as a result, it pushes the cold air vertically ahead of it as it moves.
