Questions 20

Answers

1
Temperatures get lower and lower as you move away from Earth
False
True
2
Which way does a sea breeze blow?
towards the sea
towards the land
3
Climate zones are determined by
precipitation
temperature
both of the above
4
Why does weather occur in the troposphere?
because this is where the matter is
because this layer has clouds
because this is where oceans are
because this is the layer closest to the Sun
5
A desert is
both of the above
hot
dry
6
matter and thermal energy interact to produce
weather
magic
fairies
7
What was the last page of notes about (it wasn't a numbered page)?
global winds
layer of the atmosphere
ocean currents
the water cycle
8
Precipitation is not as common at the poles because they are areas of
low pressure
high pressure
9
When will the test be posted
Wednesday
Thursday
today
what test?
10
The Coriolis effect happens because
the Earth isn't a perfect sphere
the Earth rotates
the poles spin slower
winds actually curve
11
What part of the water cycle occurs after precipitation?
evapotranspiration
evaporation
condensation
runoff
12
Convection currents also occur due to the uneven heating of the Earth
True
False
13
The atmosphere is
all the water surrounding the Earth
the empty space surrounding the Earth
the layer of gases surrounding the Earth
the layer of rock surrounding the Earth
14
Wind occurs due to
all of the above
the uneven heating of the Earth
differences in temperature
differences in pressure
15
Warm air
rises, cools and condenses
rises, warms and evaporates
sinks, cools and condenses
sinks, warms and evaporates
16
Unlike weather, climate can take 100s or 1000s of years to change.
False
True
17
After warm air rises, cools and condenses, clouds form. Clouds are made up of
liquid
gas
plasma
solid
18
Pressure generally decreases as the distance from the equator increases
false
true
19
What drives the water cycle?
the force of the wind
the heat of the Sun
the heat of the core
the current of the oceans
20
Why does the sand on a beach have a lower pressure during the day compared to the ocean?
because sand is made up of tinier matter
because water heats up quickly
because sand heats up quickly
because there is more ocean than sand
