hydrogen and oxygen
nitrogen and water vapor
hydrogen and nitrogen
oxygen and nitrogen
15.2 The movement of air due to uneven heating is called
convection
reflection
conduction
refraction
15.3 The ozone layer protects life on Earth from
the sun's high energy ultraviolet radiation
global warming
the Sun's intense heat
none of these
15.4 A low pressure zone forms when
cold air rises
warm air rises
water evaporates
cold and warm air rapidly mix
16.1 The percentage of water vapor in a certain volume of air relative to the maximum amount of water vapor that air could contain is known as
maximum humidity
humidity
relative humidity
percent humidity
16.2 A warm front occurs when
a cold air mass slides over a warm air mass
two warm air masses meet
two cold air masses meet
a warm air mass slides over a cold air mass
16.3 The eye of a hurricane is relatively calm because
it is located at the end of the storm
there is a lot of precipitation so air motion is downward
it is a high pressure area
none of these
16.4 What will probably happen if barometric pressure rises?
A storm is on its way.
Conditions will remain the same as they are.
The skies will clear.
It is not possible to say.
17.1 At about 30°N and 30°S,the air is warm and dry because
it originated at the equator.
it is a high pressure zone.
it is a zone of evaporation.
all of these.
17.2 The Koppen classification system depends on all of these except
temperature
times of year precipitation falls
amount of precipitation
types of vegetation
17.3 The 100,000 year climate pattern is known as
Milankovitch cycles
sunspot cycles
global warming
none of these
9.1 The process that changes solid rocks into sediments is
erosion
transportation
disintegration
weathering
9.1 Stalactites form from the dripping of calcium carbonate from the ceiling of a cave due to the breakdown of limestone from weak acids in water. This is an example of
physical weathering
chemical weathering
erosion
mass wasting
9.1 The climate that produces the lowest rate of weathering is
hot and wet
hot and dry
cold and wet
cold and dry

less likely to experience mass movements due to gravity.
vulnerable to mass movements by gravity.
unchanged in its chance of having mass movements.
none of these
