Where is the Earth’s atmosphere most dense? At its bottom At its top On a mountaintop At the height jets fly 1

________________ is the transfer of energy by direct contact of matter. Radiation Conduction Convection density 1

In which layer of the atmosphere do we live in? Troposphere Stratosphere Mesosphere Thermosphere 1

A maritime tropical air mass is moist and warm, so it probably formed over Land near the equator The ocean near the equator Land near the pole The ocean near the pole 1

Fronts are formed when Two large different air masses meet Winds meet Hurricanes are forming Snowstorms are forming 1

Density is the amount of mass In a given volume. In a given area. At a given height. At a given place. 1

Which of the following is NOT a process that moves energy? Conduction Radiation Convection pollution 1

Which is the lowest layer of the atmosphere? A. Stratosphere B. Mesosphere C. Troposphere D. Thermosphere 1

Convection is transfer of energy Through space Through light Through direct contact of matter By the motion of a gas or liquid 1

When convection occurs in the atmosphere, Cool air rises and warm air sinks. Cool air sinks and warm air rises. Cool and warm air sink Cool and warm air rise 1

Air pressure A. Is the force exerted by moving air molecules B. Measures the speed of wind. C. Only pushes on objects in one direction. D. Is the same as density. 1

The transfer of energy from place to place in the form of certain types of waves is Conduction Convection Density radiation 1

Air pressure increases As density decreases. As altitude increases As you move higher in the atmosphere As you move lower in the atmosphere. 1

Atmospheric conditions at a particular time and place describe the Coriolis effect Jet streams Monsoons weather 1

In which layer of the atmosphere are the northern lights located? A. Troposphere B. Stratosphere C. Mesosphere D. Thermosphere 1

Precipitation forms when water droplets evaporate, freeze into ice crystals, and rise higher in the air Combine and become heavy enough to fall to Earth’s surface Condense, freeze into ice crystals, and rise higher in the air Stick to ice crystals and melt them as they fall to Earth’s surface 1

What type of front does the symbol depict? Cold front Warm front Stationary front Occluded front 1

Where is air pressure the lowest? At sea level On top of Mt. Everest At the bottom of the Grand Canyon On top of a skyscraper 1

What causes wind? Winds form because Earth is evenly heated Winds form because Earth rotates on its axis Winds form because air pressure varies from place to place Winds form because air pressure is the same everywhere 1

What is conduction? A. The transfer of energy as a result of direct contact of matter. B. The transfer of energy by a gas or a liquid in motion C. The transfer of energy in a cycle across a distance D. The transfer of energy in the form of certain types of waves 1

Earth rotates. How does this motion affect global winds? It causes the winds to curve. It causes the winds to blow. It causes the winds to move straight from the equator to the poles. It causes the winds to move straight from the poles to the equator. 1

Over short distances, air moves From low pressure to high pressure From high pressure to low pressure Only between areas of low pressure Only between areas of high pressure 25

Which of these statements about air density is true? Air density is the same at all altitudes. Air is more dense at high altitudes. Air is less dense at high altitudes. Air is less dense at low altitudes. 29

In which layer of the atmosphere do meteors burn up? A. Troposphere B. Stratosphere C. Mesosphere D. Thermosphere 29

As you rise in the troposphere, Air pressure increases Air density increases Temperature decreases Altitude decreases 29

What 2 things define an air mass? Temperature and altitude Altitude and air pressure Temperature and moisture Air pressure and precipitation 30

What type of front does the symbol depict? Cold front Warm front Stationary front Occluded front 30

A continental tropical air mass is dry and warm because it forms over Land near the pole Land near the equator Water near the pole Water near the equator 30

What type of front forms when a warm air mass pushes a cold air mass? Warm front Cold front Polar front Stationary front 30

What type of weather does a low pressure system bring? Stormy weather Clear weather Cold weather Warm weather 30

What type of front forms when two air masses push against each other without moving? Warm front Cold front Polar front Stationary front 30

The term climate describes Unusual weather Long-term weather patterns Severe storms The atmosphere’s composition 30

Clouds form when Air cools to its dew point Air becomes unsaturated Warm air sinks and evaporates in the air Cool air rises and condenses in warm air 30

Cumulus clouds are white puffy clouds that usually appear in the day time during fair weather when warm air Sinks and condenses Rises and condenses Creates a cold front Becomes more dense 30

A maritime tropical air mass forms over land near the equator and is Dry and cold Dry and warm Moist and cold Moist and warm 30

What type of system is often associated with calm and clear weather? Stationary pressure Cold pressure Low pressure High pressure 30

Differences in density produce the motion of a fluid from place to place allowing for energy to be transferred. This transfer of energy is called Radiation Conduction Convection El Nino 30

Any type of liquid or solid water that falls to Earth’s surface is called Precipitation Dew A monsoon humidity 30

How are clouds classified? Altitude and density Height and shape Color and shape Size and shape 30

Which of these is NOT of the three main cloud types? Cirrus Aldi Cumulus Stratus 30

How does heat energy get from Earth’s surface to air? Emission Radiation Convection conduction 30

Compared with weather patterns, climate patterns are more Severe Long-term Local Unusual 30

What is El Nino? A change in wind patterns and ocean currents An increase in carbon dioxide levels A decrease in global temperatures A change in solar energy 30
