1
The map below shows the Jet Stream. How does the Jet stream affect local weather ?
air pressure in the North is greater than the South
as the jet stream moves south it brings cooler weather
Clear nice days follow the jet stream
The Jet srteam moves to areas of low winds
2
Which step should be labeled conduction ?
step 4
step 3
step 2
step 1
3
which of the following is an example of an interaction between the cryosphere and the hydrosphere ?
release of fresh water into the ocean as icebergs melt
evaporation of water from the ocean
release of large amounts of salt from icebergs into the ocean
decomposition of organic matter at the bottom of the ocean
4
What grade will I get on the CFA ?
70%
100 %
50 %
80%
5
Cold air temperatures cause water temperature to drop leading to Manatee deaths. What list below shows this best?
change in atmosphere cause change in cryosphere affecting the hydrosphere
change in hydrosphere cause change in geosphere affecting the cryosphere
change in atmosphere cause change in hydrosphere , affecting the biosphere
change in geosphere cause change in hydrosphere, affect the atmosphere
6
humans cut down trees causing increased temperature and decreased rain. Which Earth systems are interacting ?
biosphere, cryosphere, geosphere
atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere
cryosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere
biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere
7
What is happening at letter "A" in the diagram ?
Sun warms Earth through radiation
ground warms air through conduction
Heat moves through the air due to convection
Ground warms air due to conduction
8
this is where most meteoroids burn up.
stratosphere
mesosphere
troposphere
thermosphere
9
What is the relationship between air pressure, temperature and wind?
an increase in wind speed, decreases air temperature and air pressure
Air temperature ans air pressure have similar values producing fast wind
increases in temperature, increase air pressure causes wind to stop.
change air temperature result in differences in air pressure causing wind
10
What is the effect of this ocean current on land masses ?
British Isles have warmer temperatures - Near the Gulf Streams warm waters
Hurricanes are weaker due to the Gulf Stream
cool Gulf Stream currents result in cooler temperatures
cool gulf stream temperatures ckeep Florida colder
11
ozone is found in the atmosphere. What is the benefit of Ozone?
ozone causes rain providing water for the Earth
ozone filters out harmful ultraviolet radiation
ozone traps gravity so the Earth will not float away
ozone protects the Earth from loose debris
12
what is the most abundant element in Earth's atmosphere ?
oxygen
none of the above
nitrogen
carbon dioxide
13
Which of the following methods of heat transfer is an example of Convection?
rays of sun light reaching earth
heat moved from warm asphalt to the air
Warm air rises and displaces cold air
heat moves from top layer of soil to the bottom
