How are winds formed?
a) WInds are created when areas of low pressure are forced up into the troposphere.
b) Winds are formed when a high pressure system remains in the same area.
c) Winds are formed when areas of low pressure move toward areas of high pressure.
d) Winds are formed when areas of high pressure move towards areas of low pressure.
How does the amount of surface water affect the amount of water vapor?
a) More surface water equals less water vapor and less surface water equals less water vapor.
b) The amount of surface does not affect the amount of water vapor in an air parcel.
c) More surface water equals more water vapor and less surface water equals less water vapor.
d) lLess surface water equals more water water vapor and more surface water equals less water vapor..

When an air parcel begins with a higher temperature,...
a) the lower it will rise in the troposphere.
b) the higher it will rise in the troposphere.
c) it will produce less rainfall.
d) the smaller cloud it will create.
If an air parcel loses more and more energy as it cools,...
a) the more energy is transferred and the less it rises.
b) the less energy is transferred as it condenses.
c) the more energy transfers and more rainfall can happen.
