1
Why do
most
weather systems in the US move west to east?
prevailing winds carry weather systems to the east
mountain ranges prevent the movement of weather systems
west coast is warmer
west coast is a high elevation than the east coast
2
How would weather conditions in an area change if a high pressure system replaced a low one?
area would become warmer with strong winds
area would become more stormy and rainy
area would become cooler with less humidity
area would become more humid and warmer
3
Which has the
greatest
effect on temperature in parts of the US with a moderate climate?
changes in humidity levels
daily rainfall amounts
geographic location
4
Which describes a wind that moves from the land to the sea overnight?
land breeze
trade winds
sea breeze
5
At the beach on a sunny day, which would most likely be present?
land breeze
hail
sea breeze
hurricane
6
How does the jet stream affect weather conditions around the world?
strong wind current pushes weather systems around the world
weak wind current redirects weather systems around the world
strong wind current prevents weather systems from moving
7
Which type of air pressure do clear skies indicate?
high pressure
zero pressure
low pressure
8
What two factors are needed to measure wind?
direction and temperature
temperature and speed
direction and speed
9
Which has the greatest effect on the temperature of a region?
amount of plants it has
amount of rainfall it gets
amount of sunlight it gets
amount of humans it has
10
Why is it important to know the different types of clouds?
clouds indicate the type of weather that will occur
clouds indicate the time of day it is
clouds indicate the temperatures in the atmosphere
different clouds can prevent sunburn
11
Which
best
describes the effect of heavy cloud cover on temperatures at night?
there will be no change
temperatures will be cooler than expected
temperatures will change frequently throughout the night
temperatures will be warmer than expected
12
Which
best
explains how clouds are classified?
by the elevation at which they are found
by the amount of dust particles in the cloud
by the temperature at which the cloud formed
13
Which has the
greatest
effect on the movement of the jet stream?
amount of precipitation
size of clouds
differences in air temperatures
14
During winter, which winds deliver cold air that enters North Carolina?
polar westerlies
northeast trade winds
prevailing westerlies
15
Which is
not
true about wind speed and direction?
winds are caused by changes in humidity
winds are caused by differences in air pressure
winds are caused by the uneven heating of Earth's surface
16
A change in which weather condition would
most likely
result in a change in wind speed?
air pressure
humidity
temperature
17
Which type of weather occurs when clouds form near the ground?
sunny
rainy
foggy
windy
18
Which statement is accurate about seasonal temperatures in North Carolina?
it is difficult to predict the temperatures
it is difficult to notice the changes in temperature
temperatures are varied during each season
average temperature stays close to 60 degrees F
19
Which
best
explains why weather across the US continually changes?
distance between Arctic circle and the US
movement of air from the Atlantic ocean
distance between the US and equator
movement of high and low air pressure massses
20
How will freezing air temperatures
most likely
affect rain as it falls through the air?
change to hail
change to fog
change to sleet
21
Which is
most
likely
an effect of the golf stream?
milder winter temperatures in Florida
heavy rains in California
severe drought in Australia
22
Why do most storms move from the west coast of America to the east coast?
the jet stream
the gulf stream
La Nina
El Nino
23
What type of air pressure causes a storm to form on a spring day?
high pressure, causing air to rise, cool, form waterdroplets
low pressure, causing air to rise, cool, form water droplets
24
Which are characteristics of a high pressure area?
warm, dry air
cool, moist air
cool, dry air
warm, moist air
25
How does a large body of water usually affect weather conditions on nearby land?
causes the weather to be warmer in the winter
causes weather to be dryer in the winter
causes the weather to be less severe in the winter
causes the weather to be colder in the winter
26
Which
best
explains a storm surge?
rise in ocean water
low ocean tides
fall in sea level
strong ocean currents
27
Which
best
explains the effect a tornado has on normal wind speed and direction?
a tornado decreases wind speed and may change direction
a tornado increases wind speed and may change direction
a tornado has no affect on wind or direction
a tornado causes wind direction to reverse and may change
28
which
best
explains how El Nino affects the jet stream?
pushed south and results in increased precipitation
pushed south and results in decreased precip.
pushed north and results in decreased precipitation
it is pushed north and results in increased precipitation
29
which will be the effect of a warm front moving into an area?
light precipitation will remain until it is gone
skies are clear until it is gone
skies are clear then becomes cloudy
light precipitation at first then clear after it is gone
30
Low pressure systems moving along the East Coast during winter months will have which effect?
low temperatures and clear skies
increased wind speed and heavy precipitation
increased wind speed and clear skies
calm winds and heavy precipitation
31
which
best
explains why it is important for people to be able to identify cumulonimbus clouds
can cause fog
they can cause mild showers
they can cause severe thunderstorms
can form when temperature is below freezing
32
What happens to the temperature when a warm air mass replaces a cold air mass?
temperature rises
temperature drops
temperature stays the same
33
Why is there usually more cloud cover at higher altitudes?
water vapor condenses at warmer air temperatures
air pressure decreases at lower altitudes
water vapor condenses at cooler air temperatures
air pressure increases at higher altitudes
34
Which
best
explains how wind is formed?
air is warmed by radiation so the warming causes air flow
unequal heating of the land causes air to flow
frictional contact allows air to flow more freely
35
which
best
explains what type of weather the gulf stream brings to NC?
increased wind speed
increased air pressure
increased temperature
increased evaporation
