In the summer, many people enjoy going to the beach. The photograph shows a beach in Argentina, which is located in the Southern Hemisphere. Which diagram shows the position of Earth when it is summer in Argentina?
Which of the following are greenhouse gases?
Carbon dioxide
Methane
Water vapor
All answers are correct
The diagram shows a weather process that occurs when a large body of water is located near a mountainous area.
This process causes the area on the side of the mountain opposite the body of water to have
a wet climate.
a cold climate.
an icy climate.
a dry climate.
The fact that water heats and cools more slowly than land causes many different types of weather.
What is the primary source of heat for land and water?
energy from the Sun
energy from electricity
heat from friction in the air
heat from inside the Earth
The equator tends to contain regions with hot climates. However, the Rwenzori Mountains, which are located close to the equator, are covered in ice caps.
Why is the climate of the Rwenzori Mountains not hot?
Regions away from the ocean are cooler.
Clouds form a cold blanket over the mountains.
The mountains block radiation from the Sun.
Temperatures decrease with elevation.
In which of the following ways can mountains influence climate?
Mountains have a higher elevation than surrounding areas. Because these areas are closer to the sun, they enjoy a warmer climate.
Mountains have no affect on the climate of an area.
Mountains cause air to rise. The rising air cools, resulting in condensation and precipitation.
Mountains interfere with moving air. The air moves up the mountain, and circles back down, eventually causing tornadoes.
Which of the following best explains why the latitude of a region influences its climate?
The latitude of a region determines its proximity to the ocean.
The latitude of a region determines the land forms present in the area.
The latitude of a region determines how much sunlight the area receives.
The latitude of a region determines its elevation above sea level.
The Sierra Nevada mountain range is located primarily in California. Warm, moist air from the Pacific Ocean travels up the western side of the mountain range, causing precipitation, and drying out as it reaches the top of the mountains.
As the dry air comes down the eastern side of the mountain range, it causes a rain shadow. The Great Basin region of Nevada is located in this rain shadow. How does this affect the climate of the Great Basin region of Nevada?
The rain shadow effect causes the Great Basin region to have very cold winters.
The rain shadow effect causes frequent flooding in the Great Basin region.
The rain shadow effect causes frequent tornadoes in the Great Basin region.
The rain shadow effect causes the Great Basin region to have a very dry climate.
The average yearly temperatures and latitudes of four cities are shown in the table. Which of the following is demonstrated by the cities in the table?
As latitude decreases, average yearly temperature generally decreases.
The climate of an area is never influenced by the region's latitude.
As latitude decreases, average yearly temperature generally increases.
Climate is only influenced by latitude in the Southern Hemisphere.
Which of the following factors would affect the weather patterns of a region?
nearby bodies of water
altitude
latitude
all of these
What factor is influencing the temperature of these two cities
Latitude
Elevation
Distance from Large Body of Water
Ocean Currents
Which city will have warmer average temperatures
Denver
Cheyenne

winds in the northern hemisphere are deflected south; winds in the southern hemisphere are deflected north
winds in the northern hemisphere are deflected eart; winds in the southern hemisphere are deflected west
winds in the northern hemisphere are deflected left; einds in the southern hemisphere are deflected right
What is responsible for warming the Earth’s surface and creating wind?

During the land breeze, what type of heat transfer moves air up to the troposphere and back down to land?
conduction
convection
radiation
Air is warmer and less dense at the equator because the equator receives more _________.
wind
air pressure
solar radiation
condensation
Use the diagram to determine which statement is correct
The air at location 3 is more dense than the air at location 6.
Location 1 heats up and cools down slower than location 7.
The air at location 2 is rushing in to take the place of the colder air at location 3.
High pressure air at location 2 is taking the place of the low pressure air at location 3.
What type of pressure center is associated with falling air and fair conditions
high
low
mid
________ is the force exerted on an object by the weight of the air above and around it.
Wind pressure
Air pressure
Temperate weight
high pressure air
This is when the rotation of the Earth affects the direction of the wind.
convergent effect
marginal effect
Coriolis effect
Mariana effect
