1
A severe storm characterized as a vertical, rotating, column of air on the ground is known as:
Tornado
Thunderstorm
Hurricane
Lake Effect Snow
2
Why should the amount of ground level ozone be measured?
exposure to ozone can lead to respiratory disorders
ozone can help meteorologists identify acid rain
Ozone helps meteorologists predict the weather
exposure to ozone can lead to digestive disorders
3
What are the two main gases found in air?
Carbon and Nitrogen
Helium and Oxygen
Nitrogen and Oxygen
Carbon Dioxide and Hydrogen
4
In which layer of the atmosphere does weather occur?
Thermosphere
Stratosphere
Troposphere
Mesosphere
5
This type of cloud has a latin root that means “violent rain” and leads to thunderstorms.
Stratus
Cumulonimbus
Cumulus
Cirrus
6
A sea breeze blows from the ocean toward the shore. Why does this occur?
Warm air over land & cool air over water causes convection
The tide takes the wind to the shore as it moves back&forth
High pressure over the land causes a downdraft to occur.
Conduction of heat from the warm water forms wind
7
If weather occurs in the Troposphere, then what else must occur there?
Solar Eclipse
Shifting of the tectonic plates
Water Cycle & Cloud Formation
Weather occurs in the Thermosphere
8
Which type of ozone is beneficial to human health?
Ground level ozone
Atmospheric ozone
Exospheric ozone
ozone from machines
9
Which process in the water cycle does 4 represent?
Condensation
Precipitation
Evaporation
Run off
10
What is the correct order of the layer of the atmosphere?
Exosphere,Troposphere,Mesosphere,Thermosphere,Stratosphere
Thermosphere,Stratosphere,Mesosphere,Troposphere, Exosphere
Troposphere,Stratosphere,Mesosphere,Thermosphere, Exosphere
Stratosphere,Mesosphere,Thermosphere,Troposphere, Exosphere
11
Why do mountain climbers require extra oxygen as they reach higher altitudes?
Air pressure ↑ at high altitude which increases oxygen
No oxygen is available at high altitudes
The extra oxygen increases body temperature
Air pressure ↓ at high altitudes which reduces oxygen
12
What happens to temperature as altitude increases in the Troposphere?
all of the above
it decreases
it increases
it stays the same
13
What causes convection currents to occur on Earth?
Cool air rising, warm air sinking
Cool air rising, warm air rising
Warm air sinking, cool air sinking
Warm air rising, cool air sinking
14
Which type of pressure system would lead to clear, sunny skies?
Large Pressure System
High Pressure System
Low Pressure System
Medium Pressure System
15
Why are scientists concerned with ozone depletion in the Stratosphere?
b/c it allows ultraviolet radiation to reach Earth’s surface
b/c it ↓ global temperatures by ↓ incoming solar radiation
because it increases the amount of smog
because it causes greater levels of ground-level ozone
16
What percentage of the air is Nitrogen?
71%
75%
21%
78%
17
What percentage of the air is oxygen?
20%
21%
22%
25%
18
What happens to temperature as altitude increases in the Stratosphere?
It decreases
all of the above
It increases
it stays the same
19
Which describes how the Coriolis effect influences wind currents in the Northern Hemisphere?
it deflects the currents to the right
it deflects the currents to the left
it deflects the currents to the southern direction
it deflects the currents to the northern direction
20
What does the EPA stand for?
Environmental Protection Agency
Environmental Placement Account
Everyone Please Answer
Electric Pollution Act
21
If a
cold air mass
moves into NC during the summer, which type of weather can be expected?
cloudy and rainy
Hot and sunny
cloudy and dry
cold (40 degrees) and sunny
22
What type of pressure system is represented by a "H"?
High Pressure System
Medium Pressure System
Low Pressure System
23
How do clouds form?
the winds blow hard
water vapor in the atmosphere cools and condenses
temperatures are high
the air is dry
24
Which process of the water cycle does #2 represent?
Evaporation
Condensation
Run off
Precipitation
25
A barometer shows rapidly decreasing air pressure. What type of weather will most likely occur?
clear, sunny weather
rainy weather for days
cloudy, stormy weather
calm, windless weather
26
In which layer does the aurora borelis occur?
Troposphere
Mesosphere
Stratosphere
Thermosphere
27
What does the AQI stand for?
Aptitute Qualifying Index
Aerospace Quest Intrepid
Air Quality Index
Air Quantity Integral
28
What type of map do meteorologists study?
Weather Map
Geological Map
Space Map
Topographic Map
29
What does the EPA do?
controls how much pollution comes from cars
decides what standardized test middle school students take
ensures more pollution is placed into the air
Manufacture lightbulbs
30
Which of the following is a way to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
Decrease the amount of acid rain by altering cloud patterns
Decrease the amount of fossil fuels burned by cars
Decrease the use of solar energy
Decrease the amount of bike paths
