The movement of clouds caused by simularities in air pressure

b)

The movement of air caused by simularities in air pressure

c)

The movement of air caused by differences in air pressure

d)

The movement of dust caused by differences in air pressure

2.

What are Jet Streams?

a)

Narrow belts of high-speed winds that blow from east to west between 7km and 16km above Earth's surface

b)

Narrow belts of high-speed winds that blow from west to east, between 7km and 16km above Earth's surface

c)

The movement of air over short distances that can blow from any direction, depending on features of the area

d)

The apparent curving of the path of a moving object from an otherwise straight path due to Earth's rotation

3.

What is the Coriolis Effect?

a)

The movement of air caused by differences in air pressure

b)

The apparent curving of the path of a moving object from an otherwise straight path due to Earth's rotation

c)

The movement of air over short distances that can blow from any direction, depending on the features of the area

d)

Narrow belts of high-speed winds that blow from west to east, between 7km and 16km above Earth's surface

4.

What are Global Winds

a)

When wind blows south

b)

When wind blows east

c)

Wind systems that occur far away from Earth's surface

d)

Wind systems that occur at or near the Earth's surface

5.

What are Local Winds?

a)

Wind that spirals in a circular motion

b)

Wind systems that occur at or near the Earth's surface

c)

The movement of air over short distances that can blow from any direction, depending on the features of the area

d)

The movement of air over long distances that can only blow from one direction

6.

Cool Air Sinks Because it is Denser and Causes an Area of High Pressure

a)

True

b)

False

7.

What are Convection Cells?

a)

The place in which air, instead of moving in one circle between the equator and the poles, air moves in smaller circular patterns

b)

The place in which water cools down

c)

The place in which water warms up

d)

The place in which there is only high pressure

8.

Example(s) of Global Winds could Include....

a)

Polar Easterlies

b)

Westerlies

c)

Trade Winds

9.

What are Polar Easterlies?

a)

Winds on the top and bottom of the Earth and blow between the poles by 60 degrees latitude in both hemispheres ( Also curve to the east )

b)

Winds on the top and bottom of the Earth and blow between the poles by 60 degrees latitude in both hemispheres ( Also curve to the west )

c)

Winds between 30 degrees and 60 degrees latitude in both hemispheres ( Also curve to the east )

d)

Winds that blow between 30 degrees latitude in both hemispheres

10.

Westerlies are Winds that Blow Between 30 Degrees and 60 Degrees Latitude in Both Hemispheres

a)

True

b)

False

11.

Trade Winds Blow Between 30 Degrees Latitude and the Equator in Both Hemisphere

a)

True

b)

False

12.

What Does Doldrum Mean?

a)

Fast/Rapid

b)

Curvy

c)

Dull/Sluggish

13.

What is a Horse Latitude?

a)

Where the air starts moving at 30 degrees latitude and rises

b)

Where the air stops moving at 30 degrees latitude and sinks

c)

Where trade winds in both hemispheres meet in a calm area around the equator

14.

What is a Doldrum?

a)

Where trade winds in both hemispheres meet in a calm area around the equator

b)

Where trade winds in both hemispheres meet in a rapid area around the equator

15.

What are Examples of Local Winds?

a)

Sea Breezes

b)

Tree Breezes

c)

Land Breezes

16.

What is a Sea Breeze?

a)

When during the day, the air above the land becomes warmer than the air above water, so that the colder, denser air over the water flows towards the land and pushes the warm air on the land upward.

b)

When at night, the cooler air on land causes a higher pressure zone over the land, which makes wind blow from the land up towards the water.

17.

What is a Land Breeze?

a)

When at night, the cooler air on land causes a higher-pressure zone over the land, which makes wind blow from the land towards the water.

b)

When during the day, the air above the land becomes warmer than the air above water, so that the colder, denser air over the water flows towards the land and pushes the warm air on the land upward.

18.

What is a Valley Breeze?

a)

At nightfall, the air along the mountain slopes cool and move into the valley

b)

During the day, the sun warms the air along the mountain slopes faster than the air in the valleys, which results in uneven heating and air pressure.

19.

What is a Mountain Breeze?

a)

During the day, the sun warms the air along the mountain slopes faster than the air in the valleys, which results in uneven heating and air pressure.

b)

At nightfall, the air along the mountain slopes cool and move up into the valley
