Starting with the shoe box in the model, which of the follwoing shows the correct order for how water changes?
Evaporation-condensation-precipitation
condensation-crystallization-transpiration
precipitation-condensation-evaporation
transpiration-condensation-crystallization
Which set of arrows shows the MOST LIKELY movement of water in the model?
How would heavy cloud cover most likely affect the water cycle?
less sunlight reaching the surface would increase the rate of transpiration
less sunlight reaching the surface would decrease the rate of evaporation
sunlight reflecting off the clouds would increase the rate of precipitation
sunlight reflecting off the clouds would decrease the rate of condensation
Warm air rises because it
has lower density than cool air
lacks density
is unaffected by pressure
has a higher density than cool air
Evaporation in the water cycle is most affected by
Earth's landforms
Earth's rotation
Human activities
Sun's energy
According to the weather map, what is usually associated wiht a high-pressure zone?
rainy weather
clear weather
cold temperatures
hot temperatures
What weather is usually found at a cold front?
cold temperatures and clear skies
cold temperatures and rain
warm temperatures and rain
warm temperatures and clear skies
Three stages of the water cycle that are necessary for it to rain include (a) (b) (c)
When the front with triangles moves from Point A and across Point B, the temperature at Point B will likely (a) becasue this front is a (b) . When the front with the ovals moves from Point C and across Point D, the temperature at Point D will likely (c) becasue this front is a (d) front.
which of the following is correct when convection occurs in the atmosphere?
Cool and warm air rise
Cool and warm air sink
Cool air rises and warm air sinks
Cool air sinks and warm air rises
What are the weather conditions likely to be at location E?
Cloudy, rain with high pressure
Cloudy, rain with low pressure
Clear, dry day with low pressure
Partly cloudy, dry day with high pressure
What does the map indicate the weather will be for Alex's city?
A high pressure system will bring clear weather
A high pressure system will bring stormy weather
A cold front will bring clear weather followed by warmer weather
A cold front will bring stormy weather followed by colder weather
What clouds are shown in the picture
cirrus clouds, which mean stormy weather
cumulonimbus clouds, which mean fair weather
cumulus clouds, which mean fair weather
stratus clouds, which mean stormy weather
A weather radar system can help people prepare for the following three (a) , (b) , and (c)
What is the primary cause of water evaporation from Earth's oceans and lakes?
heat from the surrounding land
warm air masses from the tropics
circulation of warm water currents
energy from the Sun
Cirrus clouds mean (a) and (b) .
What day did the body of water most likely evaporate the fastest?
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
What kind of weather will Mico most likly experience later in the day?
tornadoes and hail
clear and sunny
steady snowfall
heavy rains
Which statement describes the water that can be seen at the bottom of this tank?
The water at the bottom is room temperature since the water started at room temperature
The water at the bottom is room temperature since the red and blue water are mixing together
The water at the bottom is cold because cold water sinks
The water at the bottom is warm because warm water rises
Which question about weather is BEST answered by this experiment?
How does water determine the temperature of air masses?
How is the atmosphere warmed by solar radiation?
How do cold and warm air masses form over a region?
How do cold and warm air masses interact when they collide?
Which statement about changes in weather conditions is best supported by the observations from the experiment?
Sudden changes in weather can occur at the boundary of two air masses
Slow changes in weather can occur as two air masses are slowly heated
Changes in weather do not occur at the boundary of two air masses
Slow changes in weather can occur as two air masses are slowly cooled
Why do the bodies of water in North Carolina evaporate more quickly than the bodies of water off the coast of New England?
There are more hous of daylight in North Carolina
There are more hours of daylight in New England
The temperature of the water is warmer along the North Carolina coast
The temperature of the water is warmer along the New England coast
When the jet stream brings polar air to the southern part of the United States, what happens to the weather in the northern United States
Northerners experience a longer summer
Northerners experience a longer winter
The temperatures get warmer
The temperatures get colder
If the Sun in picture Y was completely covered by clouds, then ...
all of the water shown in the picture would freeze
less ice on the mountain melt
all the water in the picture would evaporate
more ice on the mountain would melt
what is the main cause of the cold in the coldest region(s) and the heat in the hottest region(s) of Earth?
The amount of direct sunlight received in the region
The amount of precipitation in the region
The presence or absence of ice in the region
The temperature of the rising or falling air in the region
Air flows due to the uneven heating of Earth. Lower latitudes generally have (a) average temperatures than higher latitudes. Thermal energy is tranferred from areas of (b) temperatures to areas of (c) temperature.
Earth has hot, dry regions and cool, wet regions. How does convection contribute to the distribution of heat and moisture across Earth?
Convection causes the water vapor in the atmosphere to absorb the energy from cooler air masses all over Earth
Convection causes air masses carrying water and energy as heat to rise and fall, all over Earth
Convection distributes energy as heat throughout Earth's solid crust, warming the entire planet
Convection allows the tranfer of energy directly from the sun to Earth's surface
When the air temperature decrease, the rate of evaporation
decreases
increases
may increase or decrease
remains constant
