large amounts of water that has evaporated
water vapor that has condensed into droplets
rain or snow that has been pushed together by wind
Padma took a bottle of water with her when she went to play soccer. She wanted to make sure none of it evaporated from the bottle while she was playing. What should she do to keep the water from evaporating?
Screw the top on loosely and set it in the Sun.
Put the top on tightly and leave it in the shade.
Leave the top off the bottle and set it in the Sun.
Screw the top on loosely and keep it in the shade.
Which of the following must happen to water in order for it to evaporate off the surface of lakes and oceans during the water cycle?
The water must be in motion to start the process of evaporation.
The Sun must warm the water enough so that some water molecules turn to gas.
The movement of the wind must be strong enough to pull small water drops into the air.
The water temperature must decrease enough to cause some water molecules to turn to gas.
All the living things on Earth.
Atmosphere
Geosphere
Biosphere
Hydrosphere
If Walter puts a bucket of water out in the Sun on a hot, windy day, what will happen to the water level in the bucket?
The water level will go down as the water evaporates from the bucket.
The water level will rise as water condenses from the air above the bucket.
The water level will stay the same since the water is protected from the wind.
The water level will only go down if the wind makes water splash out of the bucket.
Bernie put some ice in a cup and poured some cold tea over the ice. He set the filled cup on the kitchen table. In a few minutes, he noticed that there were drops of water all over the outside of the cup. Where did the drops of water most likely come from?
They evaporated out of the air above the cold liquid.
They condensed out of the air surrounding the cold cup.
They dripped off the ice cubes as he put them into the cup
They came off his hands after holding the melting ice cubes.

Why does the Earth experience unequal heating?
The oceans are not equally distributed around the Earth.
The Earth's revolution brings it closer to the Sun at certain points during the year.
The Earth's axis is tilted.
The atmosphere is not equally distributed around the Earth.
Cold air sinks because it is less dense than warm air.
True
False
Why does Earth receive unequal heating?
Different location receive different amounts of direct sunlight
Earth moves closer and farther away from the sun.
The core of the earth heats different parts of the Earth.
Winds form in response to the ____________.
Uneven heating of the Earth’s surface
Rotation of the Earth on its axis
Friction between ocean current and the atmosphere
Breeze blowing on the Earth’s surface
A sea breeze blows from the ocean toward the shore. Why does this occur?
High pressure over the land causes a downdraft to occur.
Air over land heats faster than air over water, which causes convection currents.
The tide carries the wind to the shore as it moves back and forth.
Air over water heats faster than air over land, which causes convection currents.
During the day, which type of breeze occurs along the beach?
Summer breeze
Sea breeze
Land breeze
Salt water breeze
Land & water absorb heat at ___________rates.
the same
different
faster
slower
Wind moves from an area of:
high pressure to low pressure
low pressure to high pressure
Sea breeze is when __________ rises and ___________ rushes to take its place.
warm land air; cool ocean air
cool land air; warm ocean air
cool land air; cool ocean air
Land breeze is when ___________ during the night rises and _________ rushes in to take its place
warm ocean air; cool land air
cool ocean air; cool land air
cool ocean air; warm land air
