Which processes lead to cloud formation when humid air rises over India?
slowly, due to water’s high specific heat
in the path of prevailing winds from Lake Ontario
The air pressure over the land is lower than the air pressure over the ocean, and a breeze blows from the ocean.
water having a higher specific heat than land
expansion, cooling to the dewpoint, and condensation
the air temperature being higher over the land than over the ocean
A sea breeze develops due to the higher specific heat of water and the lower specific heat of land.
B
The heavy lake-effect snowfalls in the Tug Hill Plateau region occur primarily because the plateau is located
slowly, due to water’s high specific heat
in the path of prevailing winds from Lake Ontario
The air pressure over the land is lower than the air pressure over the ocean, and a breeze blows from the ocean.
water having a higher specific heat than land
expansion, cooling to the dewpoint, and condensation
the air temperature being higher over the land than over the ocean
A sea breeze develops due to the higher specific heat of water and the lower specific heat of land.
B
Which conditions are most likely to develop over a land area next to an ocean during a hot, sunny afternoon?
slowly, due to water’s high specific heat
in the path of prevailing winds from Lake Ontario
The air pressure over the land is lower than the air pressure over the ocean, and a breeze blows from the ocean.
water having a higher specific heat than land
expansion, cooling to the dewpoint, and condensation
the air temperature being higher over the land than over the ocean
A sea breeze develops due to the higher specific heat of water and the lower specific heat of land.
B
A cool breeze is blowing toward the land from the ocean on a warm, cloudless summer day. This condition is most likely caused by
slowly, due to water’s high specific heat
in the path of prevailing winds from Lake Ontario
The air pressure over the land is lower than the air pressure over the ocean, and a breeze blows from the ocean.
water having a higher specific heat than land
expansion, cooling to the dewpoint, and condensation
the air temperature being higher over the land than over the ocean
A sea breeze develops due to the higher specific heat of water and the lower specific heat of land.
B
At which map location would no shadow be cast by the vertical stick at solar noon on the first day of summer?
slowly, due to water’s high specific heat
in the path of prevailing winds from Lake Ontario
The air pressure over the land is lower than the air pressure over the ocean, and a breeze blows from the ocean.
water having a higher specific heat than land
expansion, cooling to the dewpoint, and condensation
the air temperature being higher over the land than over the ocean
A sea breeze develops due to the higher specific heat of water and the lower specific heat of land.
B
Large oceans moderate the climatic temperatures of surrounding coastal land areas because the temperature of ocean water changes
slowly, due to water’s high specific heat
in the path of prevailing winds from Lake Ontario
The air pressure over the land is lower than the air pressure over the ocean, and a breeze blows from the ocean.
water having a higher specific heat than land
expansion, cooling to the dewpoint, and condensation
the air temperature being higher over the land than over the ocean
A sea breeze develops due to the higher specific heat of water and the lower specific heat of land.
B
The unequal heating rates of India's land and water are caused by
slowly, due to water’s high specific heat
in the path of prevailing winds from Lake Ontario
The air pressure over the land is lower than the air pressure over the ocean, and a breeze blows from the ocean.
water having a higher specific heat than land
expansion, cooling to the dewpoint, and condensation
the air temperature being higher over the land than over the ocean
A sea breeze develops due to the higher specific heat of water and the lower specific heat of land.
B
Why are most beaches often considerably cooler than nearby inland locations on hot summer afternoons?
slowly, due to water’s high specific heat
