The solar angle is a factor to consider when discussing

the amount of sun that falls on different parts of Earth

boundary that separates different air masses

Wind moves from areas of

high pressure to areas of low pressure.

Which statement below is true?

All molecules are in constant motion.

A student wanted to heat soil and water to 22°C. Both the soil and water were at 19°C.

It takes more energy to heat the water than the soil.

In a discussion of density, the term volume means

the space occupied by a material

The atmosphere is the

layers of gases surrounding Earth

Choose ALL statements below that are true when discussing pressure on air.

increased pressure=increased density, increased pressure=increased temperature

the condition of the atmosphere at a given time and place

In a discussion of density, the term mass means

the amount of matter that makes up an object

A molecule of water is

smallest particle of matter that could still be called wate

Days are hotter at the equator than at the poles because

more direct light shines on the equator.

The solar angle is a term that refers to the

angle at which sunlight strikes the Earth's surface
