Answers
1
You are standing on a cold plain, with no trees and clumps of mosses and flowering plants. What Biome are you in?
Desert
Tiaga
Temperate Grassland
Tundra
2
What physical process creates moraine hills?
Mechanical weathering
Ocean currents
Glacial erosion
Wind erosion
3
What does it mean when a Climograph has bars across the chart?
The precipitation produces grassland and desert
It is Polar tundra
It gets even amounts of heat, creating tropical vegetation
It gets precipitation every month, leading to forests.
4
Where are the "high latitudes" located?
Near the Equator
Near the Prime Meridian
In highlands
Near the Poles
5
The creation of the St Lawrence Seaway would be the best example of what??
Humans adapting to their environment
Humans modifying their environment HEI
Movement and migration
Description of Place
6
What is Continentality?
Extreme seasonal change because no nearby oceans to moderate temperature
Polar air masses create huge snowstorms that can last for days
The creation of a Rain Shadow on the leeward side of a mountain range
The movement of surface crust above sea level
7
What kind of tectonic activity would produce new crust formation?
Transform fault
Convergent fault
Divergent fault
Transverse fault
8
Which physical process is caused by the reaction of rock to water or acids?
Chemical Erosion
Chemical Weathering
Mechanical Weathering
Mechanical Erosion
9
In what Hemisphere would you see a Climograph with the coldest months in the middle?
Eastern Hemisphere
Western Hemisphere
Southern Hemisphere
Northern Hemisphere
10
What Climate Region is seen on this map (in GREEN)?
Tropics
Polar
Temperate
Highland
11
Where in the following choices would you find deserts?
On the leeward side of mountain ranges
Near Tropic Lines
On the windward side of a mountain range
Where a cold ocean current flows off the coast
12
What happens to the amount of precipitation the higher in altitude you go?
Altitude has nothing to do precipitation
The amount decreases at lower altitude
The amount increases the higher you go.
The amount declines the higher you go
13
What type of precipitation is mostly found in the Tropics?
Convectional
Orographic
Frontal
Transform
14
What would create the deserts found in the Southwest USA?
The Southwest is mountainous and closer to the Sun
Continentality because Arizona and Nevada are far away from the coast
Warm ocean currents off the coast of California
The Rain Shadow created by the Sierra Nevadas in coastal California
15
Which region of the world would, on average, have the highest amount of precipitation?
Highland
Temperate Region
Polar Region
Tropical Region
16
What type of climate is produced by Highland?
The higher the altitude of the mountains, the colder the climate
The closer the mountains are to the center of a continent, extreme seasons
The higher the altitude of the mountains, the hotter the climate
The higher the altitude of the mountains, the more rainfall it receives
17
What does it mean on a Climograph when the temperature is a straight line at the top?
It is in the Northern Hemisphere, Polar Zone
It is within the Tropic Zone
It is in the Western Hemisphere, High Latitudes
It is in the Northern Hemisphere, Temperate Zone
18
What is the basic idea behind Plate Tectonics?
That ocean and wind currents shape the topography of the Earth
That the crust remains unchanged aside from the force of erosion.
That plates of crust are moved by convectional currents of magma
That topography only exists on continents; the ocean crust is featureless
19
What concept would have Humans wearing different clothes owing to the local climate conditions?
Site
HEI
Place
Location
20
What would cause the air temperature and humidity to change during the day, often with storms?
A Front has passed through, causing precipitation
Climate Change
Movement to a higher altitude
Convectional precipitation
