Answers
1
The jet stream affects the atmosphere below it.
True
False
2
Why does the leeward side of the mountain have desert conditions?
There is rising warm air.
There is rising cool air.
There is sinking warm air.
There is sinking cool air.
3
Due to the Coriolis Effect, what causes the winds to appear to curve either to the left or right?
Rotation of the Earth
Gravity
Convection currents
Air pressure
4
A sea breeze forms during the day when warm air rises over the land and the cooler air sinks over the water.
False
True
5
What is it called when warm material rises and cool material sinks in a circular motion?
convection currents
land breeze
sea breeze
prevailing winds
6
During a sea breeze, why is the land warmer than the ocean during the day?
Land heats up faster than water.
Water heats up faster than land.
Water cools off faster than land.
Land cools off faster than water.
7
How does a mountain affect wind direction?
It will deflect the wind upward.
It will stop the wind.
It will deflect the wind to the side.
8
Why is there so much rain along the equator?
Cool, dry air sinks and brings rain.
There isn't a lot of rain along the equator.
Warm, moist air rises and condenses to form clouds.
There are many oceans along the equator.
9
What is the relationship between pressure and temperature?
Inverse: When one goes up or down, the other does the opposite.
Direct: When one goes up or down, so does the other.
10
What conditions bring precipitation?
rising warm air
sinking cool air
11
What happens to air pressure at higher elevations?
pressure gets higher
pressure gets lower
12
If prevailing winds are moving from an ocean onto land:
They will bring moisture to the area.
They will keep moisture away from the area.
13
What is the belt of high-speed, high-pressure air that flows west to east?
Jet Stream
prevailing winds
Sea breeze
Coriolis Effect
14
If warm air rises from the ground, this will leave:
an area of low pressure near the ground
an area of high pressure near the ground
15
What makes warm air rise?
It is hot
It is more dense
It is less dense
It is not cool
16
Land masses allow ocean currents to flow onto land.
False
True
17
What region would have a wetter climate?
poles
equator
Tropic of Capricorn
Tropic of Cancer
18
How do land masses affect ocean currents?
They cause convection currents in the ocean.
They do not affect ocean currents.
They will determine warm or cool currents.
They limit where ocean currents can flow.
19
How does air or wind move?
from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure
from areas of low pressure to areas of high pressure
from areas of high gravity to low gravity
from areas of low humidity to high humidity
20
What are winds that blow predominantly in the same direction?
local winds
prevailing winds
hurricane winds
predominant winds
21
When air rises and expands, it then:
cools and condenses
warms and evaporates
cools and evaporates
warms and condenses
22
If prevailing winds are moving from land out to sea:
They will bring moisture to the area.
They will keep moisture away from the area.
23
What warms up faster and cools down faster?
water
land
24
In the Sahara Desert, which ways are the prevailing winds blowing?
eastward, from the Atlantic Ocean to the land
westward, from the land to the Atlantic Ocean
25
Due to the mountain ranges in the western part of Oregon, what type of weather occurs there?
dry conditions
a lot of precipitation
26
Why does the Tropic of Cancer have LESS precipitation?
warm air sinks there, and brings dry conditions.
cool air rises there, and brings dry conditions.
warm air rises there, and brings dry conditions
cool air sinks there, and brings dry conditions
27
In a sea breeze, when warm air rises over land:
warm air rises over the ocean
cool air moves in from the land
cool air moves in from the ocean
cool air sinks over land
28
What landform causes the rain shadow effect?
desert
plain
mountain
valley
29
The Tropic of Cancer and Capricorn have drier climates.
True
False
30
In a land breeze, why is the water warmer than the land at night?
Land heats up faster than water.
Water cools down slower than land.
Water heats up faster than land.
Land cools down slower than water.
