because there are more air molecules as altitude increases
B
because there are higher temperatures as altitude increases
C
because there are lower temperatures as altitude increases
D
because there are fewer air molecules as altitude increases
2) What occurs within a high pressure system?
A
the formation of hurricanes
B
calm weather, as air sinks
C
the formation of tornadoes
D
large clouds as air rises
3) The temperature of City X has decreased by 20 degrees and clouds have formed causing rain and thunderstorms. What has most likely occurred in City X?
A
a blizzard has taken place
B
a warm front has passed
C
a high pressure system has stalled
D
a cold front has passed
4) How does the convection of air produce thunderstorms?

by causing both warm air and cold air to sink
B
by causing warm air to sink and cold air to rise
C
by causing cold air to sink and warm air to rise
D
by causing both warm air and cold air to rise
5) Which best explains how the Coriolis effect influences weather conditions?

it causes winds to rotate to the right in the Southern Hemisphere
B
it causes winds to follow a straight line path around Earth
C
it causes winds to rotate to the right in the Northern Hemisphere
D
it causes winds to rotate, forming tornadoes on Earth
6) Why does a sea breeze blow from the ocean towards the shore?

Conduction of heat from the warm water produces wind from the ocean
B
the tide carries the wind to the shore as it moves back and forth
C
High pressure over land causes a downdraft to occur
D
Air over land heats faster than air over water, which causes convection

C
It is colder than the mesosphere because the stratosphere contains the ozone layer.

isotherms
D
occluded
10) A rapidly moving cold air mass meets a slowly moving warm air mass and forms a front. What will most likely occur at this front?
A
cold air will slide under the warm air. warm air will rise and cool. clouds will form
B
the two air masses will mix together
C
the warm air will slide under the cold air. The cold air will rise and get warmer
