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 creates surface currents in oceans that bring precipitation to different areas.
C
The sun’s energy powers the water cycle by causing runoff, which leads to precipitation.
D
The sun’s energy drives the water cycle, which determines 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
river level
B
land level
C
sea level
D
lake level
3) Surface currents can affect climate and weather. What are surface currents?
A
stream-like movements of water that happen near the surface of the ocean
B
water that empties from rivers into 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
condensation in the atmosphere
B
the uneven heating of the Earth by the sun
C
differences in elevation
D
ocean currents
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 lower the latitude, the lower 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 higher the latitude, the warmer 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 the weather
B
observations of neither weather or climate
C
observations of the climate
D
observations of both weather and climate
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
precipitation and humidity
B
temperature and precipitation
C
wind conditions and humidity
D
temperature and air pressure
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 elevation of Earth
C
the curve of Earth
D
the density of Earth
9) What are the two main factors that determine climate?
A
air pressure and humidity
B
wind and precipitation
C
temperature and precipitation
D
temperature and wind
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 slowly than land
B
because bodies of water heat up and cool off more rapidly than land
C
because bodies of water heat up more rapidly than land, but cool off more slowly than land
D
because bodies of water heat up more slowly than land, but cool off more rapidly than land
