1. Storms Quiz Review

2. Why do tornadoes form? Water and air mix
Hot moist air rises over tropical waters
Warm moist air collides with cold dry air
Lightning makes them happen

3. Oops sorry, try again.

4. Woohoo! That’s right.

5. Hurricanes form In tropical waters In tornado alley
Only in the pacific ocean
When they are given a name

6. Oh no…. Better study some more!

7. Way to go! You know something about hurricanes

8. A scale for hurricanes is called
The Fujita Scale
The modified Mercali scale
The Saffir/Simpson scale
The Richter scale

9. Sorry – this scale is named after 2 people!

10. Yup! That’s the one. (1-5 and watch out for those 5’s!)

11. What should you do if there’s a tornado warning?
Listen for further instructions.
Seek cover right away because one has been seen!
Turn off the TV so lightning doesn’t strike you.
Get outside where it is safer.

12. You made a mistake. Knowing this answer can save your life so go back and re-read about watches and warnings. .
Never wait- tornadoes can strike very fast.
Get somewhere safe like a basement or bathtub.

13. Yes!! Get somewhere safe because a warning means one has been spotted in your area.

14. A vortex is part of A hurricane A tornado A waterspout
All of the above.

15. Sigh, check again.

16. Yipee! You are right

17. Weather happens in The troposphere The geosphere The mesosphere
The stratosphere

18. Nope that’s not right

19. Yay! You got it.

20. The main components of climate are
Altitude and longitude
Heat and animals
Rain and elevation
Temperature and humidity

21. I don’t think you remember this – check again

22. Absolutely Correct!

23. The type of heat transfer that involves direct contact between molecules is
Conduction
Radiation
Convection
inspiration

24. You missed. Try again

25. Hey Hey- you sure know heat.

26. Which scientist studies the history and structure of the earth?
Seismologist
Chemist
geologist
Meteorologist

27. Uh Oh, That’s not right

28. Yes, Yes, yes!

29. A GOES satellite Always is pointed at the north pole
Circles the earth from north to south
Circles the earth always viewing the same spot
Took the first pictures of earth from space

30. You got the wrong answer- too bad

31. Mighty good answer!

32. If the temperature goes up but the amount of water vapor stays the same.
The relative humidity will drop
The relative humidity will increase
The relative humidity will stay the same

33. Think again. It takes more water to saturate hotter air.

34. You are correct! You can’t fit as much water in cold air.

35. Cold sinking air creates
Lower air pressure
Higher humidity
Higher air pressure
snowmen

36. Really! lbs per square inch sinking down on your head wouldn’t that make you feel more pressure????

37. Terrific answer. Remember the floating turkeys make you feel light.

38. Maritime air masses Form over water Have high humidity Form over land
Both of the first two answers.

39. Oops – make sure you read all the possible answers before you pick.

40. High Five! You’re right.

41. Which will be warmer in the middle of a summer day
Ice cream
Ocean water
Beach sand

42. Sadness. You missed this one.

43. Yippee you remembered!

44. A recipe for a cloud is Water vapor, dust and high air pressure
Hot air and wind
Wind, high air pressure and water
Low air pressure, dust and water

45. Unfortunately not.
Was the cloud there when you squeezed (high pressure) or when you let go (low air pressure?)

46. Happy choice!
