Answers

1
Hurricane season lasts from June to November. What makes a hurricane less likely in March?
trong wind shears
weak trade winds
low humidity rates
cool ocean waters
2
Which condition is associated with most warm fronts?
cloud formations bringing precipitation
low temperatures
violent air mass collisions
tornado formations
3
Water vapor sometimes condenses into stratus clouds that touch the ground. What forms?
fog
smoke
methane
ozone
4
The arrows represent air rising from the ocean to the atmosphere.
hurricanes.
high tides.
density currents.
tsunamis.
5
In the United States, lightning occurs most often in Florida. Which of these is a cause?
low slanting rays of the Sun refracted by ice crystals
solar particles interacting with the atmosphere
discharge between rain clouds and Earth
rapidly expanding air caused by intense heat
6
Nevada's climate has low humidity & an abundant of sunshine. This combo can result in
high elevation snowfall.
frequent thunderstorms.
rapid evaporation.
low altitude fog.
7
Storms transport water in the form of rain. The energy that starts this process comes from the
sun
Earth
oceans
clouds
8
What is the primary cause of rainstorms?
Water forms droplets when cooled.
Earth is heated by the Sun.
Most of Earth is covered with water.
Mountains direct moist air upward.
9
Which statement will complete this list?
The rain forest receives over 600 cm of rain each year
The thunderstorm lasted all night
The Arctic has experienced very cold winters.
The desert is hot and very dry.
10
The process by which water vapor in the atmosphere cools and becomes a liquid is called
evaporation
condensation
perspiration
transportation
11
The reading on a barometer rises when the air
speed increases.
speed decreases
pressure decreases.
pressure increases.
12
How do the conditions for a tornado differ from the conditions for a hurricane?
T form under low pressure, H form under high pressure.
T form in a stable atmosphere, H form in an unstable atmosp.
T form over land, H form over bodies of water.
T never form when there is rain, H always form with rain.
13
Which two factors are most responsible for a flash flood?
how much rain is falling and how long the rain lasts
the temp of the rain and the time since it last rained
how far the water must flow & time of the year it is raining
the distance from rivers and the time when it rains
14
The blue water from the jar rises to the top of the bowl. This model is prob showing what?
the convection currents that form thunderstorms
the direction in which a hurricane moves
the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in lungs
the way heat is transferred from a gas grill to food
15
Which contributes to the rotational pattern of a hurricane that develops in the Atlantic Ocean?
low relative humidity
Gulf Stream
high-pressure systems
Coriolis effect
