Why do hikers put on thicker clothes when climbing a high mountain?
For protection against insect bites
The air temperature decreases with altitude
So they can easily be located when they get lost
To add more weight so they will not be pushed by the wind
What happens to the surrounding air as warm air rises?
Moves in all directions
Moves to a higher altitude
Moves away from the rising air
Moves toward the place where warm air rises
In what direction do winds blow?
From the northeast to the southwest
From the southwest to the northeast
From low pressure areas to high pressure areas
From high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas
What is the basis for the division of the layers of the atmosphere surrounding Earth?
Changing temperature
Changing amount of oxygen
Changing weather patterns
Changing composition of gases
Which diagram shows the formation of a sea breeze?
Diagram X
Diagram Y
Both diagrams show the formation of a sea breeze
None
Which diagram shows the formation of a land breeze?
Diagram X
Diagram Y
Both diagrams show the formation of a sea breeze
None
Which of the following described how the wind blows?
Heating the air decreases pressure (warm air rises creating a low pressure)
Cool air rushes into replacing the warm air (cooler dense air, produces high pressure)
As air goes from high to low pressure, winds form.
All of the above
