Test Description: Climate
Instructions: Answer all questions to get your test result.
1) The sun’s energy influences climate in different ways. How does the sun’s energy most directly influence precipitation in an area?
A
The sun’s energy controls the amount of condensation and therefore precipitation.
B
The sun’s energy drives the water cycle, which determines precipitation.
C
The sun’s energy creates surface currents in oceans that bring precipitation to different areas.
D
The sun’s energy powers the water cycle by causing runoff, which leads to precipitation.
2) Elevation is the measure of how high something is above a reference point. What is the most common reference point used to refer to the elevation of natural landforms?
A
sea level
B
river level
C
land level
D
lake level
3) Surface currents can affect climate and weather. What are surface currents?
A
water that empties from rivers into the ocean
B
stream-like movements of water that happen near the surface of the ocean
C
daily changes in the level of ocean water
D
slow mixing of warm and cold water near the surface of the ocean
4) What causes wind?
A
the uneven heating of the Earth by the sun
B
ocean currents
C
condensation in the atmosphere
D
differences in elevation
5) The latitude of a place affects its climate, in particular its temperature. Which sentence best describes how latitude and air temperature are related?
A
The higher the latitude, the warmer the air temperature.
B
The higher the latitude, the colder the air temperature.
C
The lower the latitude, the colder the air temperature.
D
The lower the latitude, the lower the air temperature.
6) Aurora records the following observations: It rained on Monday. It was sunny on Tuesday. It rained again on Wednesday. What is Aurora recording?
A
observations of both weather and climate
B
observations of neither weather or climate
C
observations of the climate
D
observations of the weather
7) Many factors are used to determine the climate of an area. Which of the following are the two main factors that determine climate?
A
temperature and air pressure
B
wind conditions and humidity
C
temperature and precipitation
D
precipitation and humidity
8) Climates in higher latitudes are generally colder than climates in lower latitudes. What causes some areas of Earth to receive less intense solar energy than others?
A
the mass of Earth
B
the density of Earth
C
the elevation of Earth
D
the curve of Earth
9) What are the two main factors that determine climate?
A
temperature and precipitation
B
air pressure and humidity
C
temperature and wind
D
wind and precipitation
10) 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 more slowly than land, but cool off more rapidly than land
D
because bodies of water heat up and cool off more slowly than land
