4) A group of students collected data about wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature. They wanted to know what would happen when they saw fog. In which situation will they see fog over the ocean?
A
cold, humid air from land warming as it moves over warm ocean water
B
Warm, humid air from land gets warmer as it moves over warm water
C
warm, humid air from land cooling as it moves over cold ocean water
D
cold, dry air warming and becoming more humid as it moves over warm ocean water
5) A meteorologist predicts that a warm air mass and a cold air mass will meet and stop moving over your vacation destination. What weather should you expect and how should you pack?
A
a warm front that may cause a few days of clouds and rain but will clear up later on so pack for both rain and nice weather,
B
a stationary front that will cause an long period of clouds or precipitation means planning for a rainy vacation
C
A cold front that will bring quick rain, snow or hail means packing rain gear but hoping not to need it after the front passe

movement of thermal energy by ocean currents
B
fronts will cause high and low temperatures
C
intensity if sunlight at different angles
D
density of air at different altitudes

A
a town high in the mountains
B
a town near an ocean
C
a town in a desert
D

high air pressire
B
high wind speed
C
high levels of humidity
D
high air temperature
9) What are two factors that determine climate
A
temperature and precipitation
B
wind conditions and humidity
C
temperature and air pressure
D
precipitation and humidity

A
steppe
B
marine coastal
C
humid continental
D
mediterranean
11) How does the sun's energy most directly influence precipitation in a area?
A
The sun´s energy powers the water cycle bu causing runoff, which leads to precipitation.
B
the sun's energy drives the water cycle, which determines precipitation
C
the sun´s energy controls the amount of condensation and therefore precipitation
D
The sun´s energy creates surface currents in oceans that bring precipitation to different areas
12) Which sentence best describes how latitude and air temperature are related?

the lower the latitude, the colder the air temperature
B
the lower the latitude, the lower the air temperature
C
the higher the latitude, the warmer the air temperature

A
climate
B
weather
C
temperature
D
wind
14) Why do coastal areas have cooler summers than inland areas at the same latitude?
A
because bodies of water heat up and cool off more rapidly than land
B
because bodies of water heat up more rapidly than land, but cool off more slowly than land
C
because bodies of water heat up and cool off more slowly than land
D
because bodies of water heat up more slowly than land, but cool off more rapidly than land
