Test Description: Review
Instructions: Answer all questions to get your test result.
1) Which gains and loses heat faster sand or water? Why?
A
water because it has a higher specific heat than sand
B
Water because it has a lower specific heat than sand
C
Sand because it has a LOWER specific heat than water
D
Sand because it has a HIGHER specific heat than water
2) What causes sea and land breezes?
A
The coriolis affect
B
The sun heats earth's surface unequal causing land and water to heat unequally, causing breezes
C
The Earth's rotation
D
all of the above
3) What causes the Coriolis effect and what causes it to occur?
A
Oceanic circulation
B
Atmospheric circulation
C
Earth's tilt on its axis causes clouds
D
Earth spinning causes clouds and wind to look like they travel in a curved pattern
4) If air is rising into the atmosphere would that be a low or high air pressure? How do you know?
A
High pressure because air sinks in a high pressure system due to no pressure
B
Low pressure because air rises in a low pressure system since there is not a lot of pressure holding it down
C
Low pressure because air sinks in a low pressure system
D
High pressure because air rises in a high pressure system due to lots of pressure
5) What occurs during a cold front?
A
a warm and cold air mass meet and stay in one area for several days, drizzly rain occurs
B
a cold air mass gets stuck between 2 warm air masses and no rain
C
a cold air mass moves towards a warm air mass and we get lots of rain and thunderstorms
D
A warm air mass moves towards a cold air mass and we get no rain
6) What occurs in a warm front?
A
a warm and cold air mass meet and stay in one area for several days, drizzly rain occurs
B
a cold air mass gets stuck between 2 warm air masses and no rain
C
A warm air mass moves towards a cold air mass and we get rain
D
a cold air mass moves towards a warm air mass and we get lots of rain and thunderstorms
7) What occurs during a stationary front?
A
A warm air mass moves towards a cold air mass and we get rain
B
a warm and cold air mass meet and stay in one area for several days, drizzly rain occurs
C
a cold air mass gets stuck between 2 warm air masses and no rain
D
a cold air mass moves towards a warm air mass and we get lots of rain and thunderstorms
8) What occurs in an occluded front?
A
a cold air mass moves towards a warm air mass and we get lots of rain and thunderstorms
B
a cold air mass gets stuck between 2 warm air masses and we get rain
C
A warm air mass moves towards a cold air mass and we get rain
D
a warm and cold air mass meet and stay in one area for several days, drizzly rain occurs
9) How can temperature vary so much between a city near an ocean and a city in the middle of the US?
A
all of the above
B
Cities near oceans have a huge temperature difference year round because land heats slower than water.
C
none of the above
D
Cities near oceans have more constant temperatures year round due to water changing temperature slowly (high specific heat)
10) Compare and contrast weather and climate.
A
Weather is precipitation and climate is wind speed
B
Climate happens at a particular time and place, weather is the average of what happens over a long period of time
C
Weather is a certain temperature in that area and climate is the temperature around the world
D
Weather happens at a particular time and place, climate is the average of what happens over a long period of time
11) What is climate?
A
The specific temperature of the day
B
The everyday weather that occurs EX: it is raining today
C
The average weather in an area over a long period of time, ex: Artesia is hot and dry in the summer
D
The weather around the world
12) Where do rainshadows occur and why?
A
on the downward slope of the mountain because the air is sinking
B
at the top of the mountain
C
on the upward slope of the mountain where the air is rising
D
all of the above
13) What type of front forms when a warm air mass overtakes a cold air mass?
A
warm front
B
cold front
C
occluded front
D
stationary front
14) Which area of Earth receives the most solar radiation?
A
Equator
B
The southern hemisphere
C
polar regions
D
The northern hemisphere
15) What are the prevailing Westerlies? Where are they located?
A

B
Winds that flow from west to east, located between 30 N and 60 N and 30 S and 60 S
C
Winds that blow from west to east located at the poles
D
Winds that blow across the equator
16) What causes ocean currents?
A
Density from different temp of water and amount of salt, and wind
B
Earth spinning
C
Earth's location from the moon
D
Earth's tilt on its axis
17) Why is warm fresh water less dense than cold salt water?
A
all of the above
B
none of the above
C
Warm water particles spread apart making it less dense
D
Warm water particles come close together making it less dense
18) Where do warm ocean currents come from?
A
the equator
B
the polar regions
C
the atmosphere
D
all of the above
