1
What is climate?
weather conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long time
weather conditions happening now or in the near future
wind conditions happening now or in the near future
wind conditions in an area over time
2
Which is true about the oceans' release of heat?
Oceans release heat rapidly & add to the greenhouse effect
Oceans release heat more slowly than land
Oceans release heat more rapidly than land
Ocenas release heat at the same rate as laan
3
What is a phenomenon?
lines on a map that indicate distance from Equator
a fact or situation that is observed to exsist or happen
how high up
AKA convection zones
4
Which zones are in the temperate regions?
X & Y
Z & X
W & Y
V & Z
5
We and the majority of the U S live in what atmospheric convection region?
tropical
temperate
polar
atlantic
6
What major current affects weather on the west coast of the U S?
Labrador current
Gulf Stream current
California current
Jet Stream
7
What weather comes with a high pressure system?
stormy weather
fair weather
hot weather
rainy weather
8
Which direction will the sailboat move if the wind is a result of solar heating & why?
away from the shore since land heats up faster than water
away rfom the shore since water heats faster than land
towards the shore since water heats faster than land
towards the shore since land heats up faster than water
9
When solar radiation is trapped in the troposphere, what is this process called?
radiation
greenhouse effect
ozone depletion
evaporation
10
What are all the climate zones that result form the unequal heating of the earth?
temperate & polar
polar, temperate, & tropical
tropical & polar
temperate, tropical, subtropical
11
What is the source of energy for these currents?
tides
equator
Sun
Moon
12
Which adds more greenhouse gases to the atmosphere?
solar panels (b)
wind mill (d)
nuclear plant (c)
oil pump (A)
13
Which statement correctly compares the heating & cooling of land & water?
land & water heat up & cool down at the same rate
water heats up & cools down slower than land
water heats up & cools down faster than land
land heats up & cools down slower than water
14
What is topography?
there are 6 of these on Earth
detailed description/representation on a map that show artifical & natural
the science of farming
cultivation of fish/marine life for food
15
Which clouds are associated with fair weather?
cirrus & stratus
stratus & cumulonimbus
cirrus & cumulonimbus
cirrus & cumulus
16
Higher air pressure's @ poles & lower air pressure is @ the equator. SO which way does the wind blow on Earth ?
cold air from the equator to the poles
warm air from equator to the poles
cold air from the poles to the equator
warm air from the poles to the equator
17
In which major climate zone is the equator located?
subtropical
temperate
tropical
polar
18
Think about the greenhouse effect. Where does radiation get trapped?
troposphere
ionosphere
mesosphere
stratosphere
19
What helps regulate temperature on earth?
winds
land
air masses
water
20
Which two locations will have the closest annual laverage air temperature?
W & Y
W & X
X & Z
Z & Q
21
Some radiation is absorbed by land & water & is changed to heat that radiates is trapped.This is
green house effect
evaporation
radiation
ozone depletion
22
What is the source of energy for Earth's water cycle?
Sun's radiation
Moon's gravitational attraction
ocean currents
trade & prevailing winds
23
Which labeled radiation shows the greenhouse effect?
Radiation 1
Radiation 4
Radiation 2
Radiation 3
24
Cold air masses collides w/ warm air mass to make a cumulonimbus cloud. Weather?
colder & wetter
colder & drier
warmer & wetter
warmer & drier
25
What does a sling psychrometer AKA wet-dry bulb measure?
temperature
wind speed
relative humidity
wind direction
26
What is the Coriolis effect?
AKA convection zones
winds appear to curve around the Earth
a fast moving ribbon of air
how high up
27
How does Earth's surface influence the air flow above it?
Water cools the air & tides cause wind & breezes
Moving air ppicks up/releases moisture & land causes wind
AIr flow above Earth is not impaced by the surface
Earth's surface heats air which rises and cools and sinks
28
If you are using a hot plate, which safety procedure should you follow?
use insulated gloves
cover nose & mouth with a face mask
wear insulated shoes
wear earplugs
29
What occurs when cool air moves from the ocean to the beach during the day?
updraft
land breeze
sea breeze
prevailing wind
30
Which cloud is at the highest altitude?
cumolonimbus
altocumulus
stratus
cirrocumlus
31
Which major ocean current influences the weather on the East Coast of the U S?
Labrador Current
Caribbean current
Gulf Stream
Jet Stream
32
In which direction does wind blow during the day?
from land to ocean
with the trade winds
along the coast
from ocean to land
33
Which process accurately describes the formation of the greenhouse effect?
Sun's rays are reflected from land back into the atmosphere
Increased solar energy is entering through the hole in the ozone
Aerosol gasses become trapped & build up in the atmosphere
Heat radiating from land & oceans is trapped in the atmosphere
34
Look @ convection currents that create land breeze diagram. Which shows a land breeze?
C
A
B
D
