The amount of water vapor in the air is
hydrological
relative humidity
hydra
wind direction
Latitudes closer to the equator receive more solar energy than latitudes away from the equator.
True
False
Air typically moves from areas of _______ pressure to __________ pressure.
hot/cold
in/out
low/high
high/low
Air sinks over the land in a land breeze at night because
Cooler air over the land sinks and condenses
Cooler air rises and disperses
Warmer air over the land sinks and condenses
Warmer air condenses
What would cause an air mass over a body of water to be warm and humid?
Convection would cause warm air to rise and condensation would cause air to be humid
Conduction would cause warm air to rise
Convection would cause warm air to rise and evaporation would cause the air to be humid
The average kinetic energy of the water molecules increases with time when
ice is melted then boiled to become steam
water is frozen
ice is melted then the water is frozen again
water is warmed but not boiled
Heat flows hot to cold.
True
False
Heat is transferred without any physical contact in the form of electromagnetic waves.
Conduction
Radiation
Convection
This is important because it absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
Weather
Geosphere
Oxygen in the ecosystem
Ozone Layer
The movement within a liquid where hotter,less dense material rises and colder, dense material sinks
Convection
Radiation
Conduction
Transformation
You want to compare brands of paper towels to see which holds the most liquids. The dependent variable is
the brand of paper towel.
the amount of liquid absorbed by the paper towel.
the same paper towel used in all experiments.
How is a sea breeze formed?
The sun heats the land in the day, warm air sinks and starts a convection current
The land is cooler over the land and starts a conduction current
The sun heats the land in the day, warm air rises and starts a convection current
Plants give off water in the water cycle by
leaking it out in their stomata
through osmosis in their roots
through transpiration in their leaves
keeping all water inside
Water collects in the crack of a rock and expands when it freezes is which two spheres interacting?
Geosphere and Atmosphere
Geosphere and Cryosphere
Geosphere and Biosphere
Biosphere and Atmosphere
