A
steady
B
low
C
rising
D
high
8) Which is the correct process for a cold front?
A
A warm air mass rises between one cold air mass and one cooler air mass to form a cloud
B

keeps Earth warm
B
absorbs ultraviolet rays from the Sun
C
absorbs carbon dioxide gas from cars
D
moves the global wind belts

A
troposphere
B
stratosphere
C
mesosphere
D
thermosphere
11) Energy from the Sun heats Earth's surface. The heat then rises from Earth's surface and the gases in the atmosphere reflect the heat back to Earth. This process is called ____________.
A
conduction
B
the greenhouse effect
C
radiation
D
convection
12) Which is NOT what happens to solar energy that reaches Earth?
A
Some is absorbed by the atmosphere.
B
Some is reflected by clouds.
C
Some is absorbed by Earth's surface.
D
Some is changed into water vapor.
13) The _____________ is the source of all energy in Earth's atmosphere
A
Sun
B
water cycle
C
carbon cycle
D
Moon
14) As air in Earth's atmosphere is heated by the Sun, the warmer air expands and becomes less dense than the cooler air. As a result, the warmer air rises and the cooler air sinks. This cycle of warm air rising and cool air sinking is called _________.
A
convection currents
B
surface currents
C
climate
D
weather
15) __________ and the spinning of Earth act together to drive the surface currents of the oceans.
A
Hurricanes
B
Air masses
C
Greenhouse effects
D
Global winds

east to west
B
south to north
C
northwest to southwest

A
It gets warmer
B
It rains a lot
C
It gets cooler
D
