Which best explains what type of weather the Gulf Stream usually brings to North Carolina?
increased wind speed
increased air pressure
increased temperature
increased evaporation
Global winds over the United States blow in which direction?
east to west
north to south
south to west
west to east
Which explains the high precipitation levels in areas near the equator?
The equator has very little wind, which causes rain-filled clouds to remain still for longer periods of time
The equator has stronger winds that cause clouds filled with precipitation to burst, resulting in precipitation
At the equator, warmer conditions create an increase in evaporation. Evaporation leads to more precipitation.
At the equator, warmer conditions create a decrease in evaporation. Less evaporation leads to more precipitation.
Which best describes how winds in the jet stream blow?
no pattern
between two boundaries of hot air
between two boundaries of cold air

Which MOST affects the path of a weather system in the United States?
the width of the jet stream
the speed of the jet stream
the location of the jet stream
the temperature of the jet stream
Which is the best explanation for how air masses move across the
United States?
The prevailing westerlies move air masses from west to east across
the United States but may be deflected by the jet stream.
The trade winds move air masses from west to east across the United
States.
The jet stream moves air masses from the Pacific Ocean across the
United States.
The warm air of the Gulf Stream causes air masses to move from the
Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean.
What is the cause of rising surface temperatures of the Pacific Ocean,
drought in the western United States, and flooding on the Pacific coast of
South America?
the Gulf Stream
the jet stream
