cold temperatures
B
frequent hurricanes
C
heavier rainfall
D
dryer conditions
8) Hurricanes form over equatorial areas. This is because

B
solar heating is greatest near the equator.
C
the rate of rotation of Earth’s surface is less at the equator.
D
Earth’s volcanic activity is clustered around the equator.
9) Which of these has the greatest capacity for storing thermal energy from the Sun?
A
oceans
B
plants
C
air
D
land
10) What would a warm air mass over the ocean most likely cause?

B
Tornadoes form in a stable atmosphere, while hurricanes form in an unstable atmosphere
C
Tornadoes form over land, while hurricanes form over bodies of water
D

clouds
B
earth
C
sun
D
oceans

evaporation
B
runoff
C
precipitation
D
condensation
16) Which of these is associated with hurricanes?

distance from an ocean
D
shape of the shoreline
18) Hurricanes form over water and lose wind speed when they move over land. What does this pattern best illustrate?
A
Oceans transfer more energy to the atmosphere than land does.
B
More solar radiation strikes oceans than land
C
Heat from inside Earth warms oceans more than land
D
Oceans transfer both heat and chemical energy to the atmosphere
19) Land heats up faster during the day than water does. As the beach gets warm during the day, it heats the air above it. The warm air rises and cool air from the ocean is pulled in to replace it. So, air flows from the ocean to the land. At night, the
A
The air flows from the ocean to the land
B
The air flows from the land to the ocean.
C
The air moves along the coast
D
The air is still
