Clouds often form near the beach because-

energy from the sun causes water to evaporate from the ocean.

We know that the Earth is always rotating on its axis because-

we can see shadows changing during the day.

You weigh more on Earth than the moon because-

the gravitational pull is less on the moon than on the Earth.

Areas near the beach often see an increase in precipitation amounts because-

the water evaporates, condenses, and moves on shore.

During a full moon, we can see-

all of the light reflected from the sun.

Which of the following sets of data represent weather, NOT climate?

Daily precipitation amounts this week in Houston.

When solar energy is absorbed by ocean water-

it changes state from liquid to gas.

Clouds often form near the beach because-
light from the sun reflects off the surface of the ocean.
energy from the sun causes precipitation over the ocean.
light from the sun decreases the amount of water vapor in the air.
energy from the sun causes water to evaporate from the ocean.
2

January 1
January 6
December 17
January 15
4
We know that the Earth is always rotating on its axis because-
we can see other planets in the sky.
we can see shadows changing during the day.
the moon appears to change in appearance over a month's time.
the clouds move in the atmosphere.
5
When it is midnight in Houston, that means the city is-
facing away from the sun.
beside the sun.
parallel to the sun.
facing towards the sun.
6
You weigh more on Earth than the moon because-
the gravitational pull changes your mass on the Earth.
the moon has a stronger gravitational pull.
the gravitational pull is less on the moon than on the Earth.
the gravitational pull is the same.
7
Weather or climate?
climate

8
Areas near the beach often see an increase in precipitation amounts because-
transpiration helps move moisture through the water cycle.
there is less solar energy to evaporate the water.
wind systems push cloud systems back over the ocean from land.
the water evaporates, condenses, and moves on shore.
