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 slowly than land, but cool off more rapidly than land

How does the sun's energy most directly influence precipitation in a area?
a) the sun's energy drives the water cycle, which determines precipitation
b) the sun´s energy controls the amount of condensation and therefore precipitation
c) The sun´s energy powers the water cycle bu causing runoff, which leads to precipitation.
d) The sun´s energy creates surface currents in oceans that bring precipitation to different areas

A meteorologist predicts that a warm air mass and a cold air mass will meet and stop moving over your vacation destination. What weather should you expect and how should you pack?
a) A cold front that will bring quick rain, snow or hail means packing rain gear but hoping not to need it after the front passe
b) a stationary front that will cause an long period of clouds or precipitation means planning for a rainy vacation
c) a warm front that may cause a few days of clouds and rain but will clear up later on so pack for both rain and nice weather,
d)
A group of students collected data about wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature. They wanted to know what would happen when they saw fog. In which situation will they see fog over the ocean?

b) cold, humid air from land warming as it moves over warm ocean water
c) cold, dry air warming and becoming more humid as it moves over warm ocean water
d) Warm, humid air from land gets warmer as it moves over warm water
