APrecipitation BClouds CAir pollution DUnequal heating

2) Uneven heating of Earth by the Sun causes

Awind Bcondensation Cprecipitation Devaporation

3) What is the primary reason that air above the equator is heated more than at other places on Earth?

AThe equator receives the most sunlight due to the shape and tilt of the Earth BThere is more water around the equator than anywhere else on Earth CThe sunlight coming at the equator hits at an angle. DThe Equator receives more heat because of the rotation of Earth around the sun.

4) What are the factors that affect climate?

AOcean and wind currents BAll of the above CUneven heating of Earth's surface DElevation

5) What is the Global Conveyer Belt?

AAll of the above BWater cycling from surface current to deep water currents and then back to the surface again. CThe constantly moving system of deep ocean circulation driven by temperature and salinity DA system where the hydrosphere and atmosphere move heat energy out from the equator towards the poles

6) How are convection currents produced in the air?

AWarm air is less dense so it rises, cold air moves in to take its place BWind causes convection currents by stirring up the air CBig weather events like hurricanes and tornadoes cause convection currents. DCold air is less dense so it rises,. As the cold air rises, warm air descends

APrecipitation BRun off CEvaporation DCondensation

12) THe part of the water cycle when water vapor is released from plants is

AEvaporation BTransspiration CPrecipitation DCondensation

13) THe part of the water cycle when water vapor rises into the atmosphere, cools, and turns back into the liquid form?

APrecipitation BCondensation CTranspiration DEvaporation

14) Which type of front moves the fastest and causes the most dramatic weather conditions?

AWarm front BAll of the above CCold front DStationary front

15) High pressure systems bring

ACloudy skies and warmer weather BSunny skies and warmer weather CSunny skies and cooler weather DCloudy skies and cooler weather
