(10 pts) 1. Which sentence best describes the process of convection?

Cool air sinks, which forces warm air to rise.
Sunlight travels through space.
Water vapor in the air forms liquid water.

(10 pts) 2. Winds in the Northern Hemisphere are deflected to the right, and winds in the Southern Hemisphere are deflected to the left. What causes this pattern?

the earth’s rotation
the earth revolving around the sun
sunlight

(10 pts) 4. Which one describes the greenhouse effect?

Solar radiation is blocked from reaching the earth’s surface.
Solar radiation is transferred to the oceans.
Solar radiation is reflected by earth’s atmosphere back into space.
Solar radiation is trapped by earth’s atmosphere.



(10 pts) 5. Which factor explains why a mountain located near the equator can be covered with snow?

low latitude
ocean currents
distance from the ocean
higher elevation



(10 pts) 6. What type of climate is the leeward side of a mountain range located in the path of prevailing winds likely to have?

windy and wet
cool and dry
cloudy and humid
cold and snowy



(10 pts) 7. Which type of air mass is likely to bring hot, dry air?

maritime tropical
maritime polar
continental polar
continental tropical

(10 pts) 8. What climate zone includes most of South America?

arctic
polar
tropical
temperate



Look at the map on-screen to answer questions 8 and 9.

(10 pts) 9. What sentence reflects the information provided on this map?

Climate zones correspond with latitude.
Climate zones vary according to longitude.
The climate is uniform in all regions of the earth.
Tropical climates occur in high latitudes.



(10 pts) 10. Pleasant, clear weather is associated with what type of air pressure system?

high air pressure
no air pressure
low air pressure
changing air pressure



(10 pts) 11. A low-pressure system is generally associated with what type of weather condition?

clear sky
low humidity
thick cloud cover
increasing altitude



(10 pts) 12. For question 12, did your student correctly describe the weather front as having cold air temperature, with clouds, rain, and probably thunderstorms?YesNo

(10 pts) 13. For question 13, did your student correctly describe the weather front as being rainy or snowy weather?YesNo

(10 pts) 14. For question 14, did your student’s answer include clouds and precipitation?YesNo

(10 pts) 15. For question 15, did your student state that a temperate climate has variable weather and distinct seasons that occur in regular patterns?YesNo

(10 pts) 16. For question 16, did your student state that the Gulf Stream transfers heat across the ocean through the process of convection and that the warm water heats the air above it through the process of conduction?YesNo

(10 pts) 17. For question 17, did your student correctly explain how earth's climate would change if the amount of the sun's energy absorbed by earth and the amount reflected and radiated back to space were unbalanced?YesNo

(10 pts) 18. For question 18, did your student state that radiation transfers heat energy through a material or through space as electromagnetic waves?YesNo

(10 pts) 19. For question 19, did your student explain that air masses move because of differences in air pressure, moving from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas and that the difference in air pressure is due to the uneven heating of the earth’s surface by the sun, which produces different temperatures across earth’s surface?YesNo

(10 pts) 20. For question 20, did your student explain that warm air trapped between two cold air masses is pushed upward, is cut off from the surface and as the air rises, it cools, and water in the air condenses to form clouds and precipitation?YesNo
