Answers
1
Any form of water that falls from clouds is called
evaporation
precipitation
condensation
dew
2
Instruments used to measure air pressure are called
psychrometers
thermometers
hygometeres
barometers
3
Local winds differ from global winds because they
are caused by differences in cloud cover
are due to unequal rainfall
are caused by unequal heating within a small area
are not influenced by air masses
4
The climate zones lying between 23.5
o
and 66.5
o
north and south latitude are called the
tropical zones
subtropical zones
temperate zones
polar zones
5
Air has pressure because
the stratosphere is thick
temperature warms the air
wind moves the air
air has mass
6
Earth's rotation makes global winds curve. This is called the
convection effect
coriolis effect
global effect
rotational effect
7
Density can be determined using the formula
density = mass x volume
density = volume / mass
density = mass + volume
density = mass/volume
8
As you rise upwards in the atmosphere, air pressure
first increases, then decreases
doesn't change
decreases
increases
9
Sea and land breezes over a large region that change direction with the seasons are called
prevailing westerlies
doldrum winds
savannas
monsoons
10
Cool air tends to
be less dense and flow over warm air
be more dense and flow under warm air
mix easily with warm air masses
be lifted up by more dense than warm air
11
An aneroid barometer is different from a mercury barometer in that it
does not contain a liquid
measures temperature
is sensitive to air pressure changes
uses alcohol instead of mercury
12
The sun's rays are least direct
near the equator
far from the ocean
at high altitudes
near the poles
13
Which zone contains a polar continent?
polar
temperate
tropical
14
The farther you live from the ocean, the more likely your climate will be a
marine climate
subtropical climate
tropical climate
continental climate
15
What vapor enters the atmosphere by what process?
humidity
condensation
precipitation
evaporation
16
Heat transfer between two substances that are in direct contact is called
radiation
conduction
convection
thermal energy
