Polar and Tropical are examples of climate zones.Which is true about the different climate zone
The climate in a zone changes daily
The weather in every climate zone is always the same.
Climate zone at greater distance from the equator are cooler
Climate zones at closer distance to equator are often warmer
9

11
How does elevation affect climate of an area?
a higher elevation area has a warmer climate, warm air rises
a higher elevation area has a wetter climate,more vegetation
a higher elevation area has a drier climate, no condensation
a higher elevation area has a cooler climate,air pressures ↓
12

evaporation
precipitation
condensation
melting
13
Hail, rain, sleet, and snow are all forms of
evaporation
climate
precipitation
clouds
14
Which role do the oceans play in the water cycle
location of most condensation
main position to start runoff
source of most evaporation
only place for precipitation
15
Water on Earth moves through many places and several states of matter.What causes the changes?
freezing and melting of water
large bodies of water
energy of the sun
precipitation
16
The constant movement of Earth's water from the surface to the atmosphere
weather
water cycle
climate
precipitation
17
Which of these best shows the correct sequence of how sleet is formed?
rain falls → freezes →melts
snow falls → melts → stays melted
snow falls → melts → freezes again
rain falls → freezes → stays frozen
18

weather
air pressure
humidity
atmosphere
21
What part of the water cycle shows liquid change to gas?
condensation
precipitation
runoff
evaporation
22
The state of the atmosphere at a certain place and time
climate
air chamber
air pressure
weather
23
The amount of water vapor in the air
evaporation
humidity
condensation
air pressure
24
There are tiny drops of water on the grass in the morning. In the afternoon, they were gone.
The energy from the Sun caused the water drops to condense
The Sun heated the water and caused the drops to evaporate
The head from the air caused the water drops to boil.
The air cooled the water and caused the drops to freeze
25
Tool used to measure the amount of humidity in the air
wind vane
hydrometer
barometer
thermometer
26

precipitation
condensation
evaporation
runoff
