1
The following instrument is used to measure wind direction. Which instrument is shown in the picture?
Anemometer
Wind vane
Barometer
2
The Prevailing Westerlies, the major wind belts over the continental United States, generally blow from...
north to south.
west to east.
east to west.
3
Look at the diagram and choose the correct order of heat transfer.
C,B, and A
B,C, and A
A,B, and C
4
How can a convection current enable a hawk or an eagle to soar upward without flapping it's wings?
The bird soars upward on warm rising, less dense air (convection current)
The bird soars upwards on cold rising, less dense air ( convection current)
Sinking warm, more dense air in a convection current forces the bird upward
5
Choose the statement below that best describes how Local winds differ from Global winds.
Are caused by differences in cloud cover.
Are caused by unequal heating within a small area.
Are not influenced by air masses.
6
What can be measured using this weather instrument?
temperature
wind direction
wind speed
7
The movement of air parallel to the Earth's surface.
Differences
Wind
Precipitation
8
Which statement explains the difference in solar radiation that contributes to global wind patterns?
Only location on Earth that have daylight receive solar radiation.
The sun provides more heat at the equator than at the poles.
The sun takes longer to heat the ocean than it does to heat the land.
9
Two students were sitting around a campfire and roasting marshmallows. They needed to back up from the fire because of ?
Radiation
Conduction
Convection
10
The device below measures temperature. What is the name of the tool?
Anemometer
Barometer
Thermometer
11
Winds blowing from the east coast of North America have the
most
effect on weather in which of the following regions?
Europe
Asia
Africa
12
Why do the paths of global winds curve as illustrated rather than moving in a straight line?
Because of differences in air pressure.
Because of Earth's revolution around the sun.
Because the Earth rotating on it's axis and the Coriolis Effect.
13
Based on the image above, what happens to the majority of the solar energy coming to the Earth from the sun?
Absorbed by land and oceans.
Reflected by the atmosphere.
Reflected by the clouds.
14
What causes the air to move and has the greatest effect on wind speed?
Differences in humidity
Differences in air pressure
Differences in the wind
15
Wind moves due to differences in air pressure. What is mainly responsible for creating differences in air pressure?
Moisture in the air evaporates.
There is unequal heating of the earth's surface by the sun.
There is more air over the ocean than over the land.
16
What is the primary energy source that drives all pressure differences, air movement, storms, and all weather events?
Earth's gravity
Earth's rotation
Sun
17
The images show a coastal area during the day and at night. Which statement below is true about the images.
Sea breeze at night/Land Breeze during day. Temperature rises and falls.
Sea breeze and Land breeze. Temperature is not affected.
Sea breeze during the day/Land Breeze at night. Temperature rises and falls
18
What type of heat transfer is demonstrated using clear room temperature water, red warm water and cold blue water?
Convection in a fluid
Conduction in a gas
Radiation in a fluid
19
Which statement correctly explains the reason weather systems cross the United States from west to east?
The United States is located in the Doldrums near the equator
The United States is located in the Polar Easterlies Wind Belt
The United States is located in the Westerly Wind Belt
20
A natural heat trapping process in the atmosphere that holds heat in the Earth's atmosphere is called?
Absorbed effect
Greenhouse effect
Conduction effect
21
In which global wind belt would you experience the coldest winds?
Polar Easterlies
Horse latitudes
Prevailing Westerlies
