- Q1Which of the following is an example of climate?a sudden snowstorm resulted in subzero temperatures and 30cm of new snowin southern California, temperatures are generally mild and rainfall is lowa week of rain caused widespread flooding in Seattlerecord-breaking low temperatures caused a sudden freeze one day in Des Moines30s
- Q2Which of the following results when there is a temperature difference between two objects?heat is transferred from one object to the otherone object will always shave more heat than the other objectboth objects will gain more and more heatthe temperature of both objects increases30s

- Q4Which form of radiation has the longest wavelength?infraredradio wavesblue lightultraviolet30s
- Q5Vancouver, British Columbia, enjoys a moderate year-round climate, which is due toits close proximity to the Pacific Oceanits latitudeits relatively high elevationthe many mountain ranges surrounding the city30s
- Q6The temperature differences seen between Seattle, Washington, and Spokane. Washington, illustrate the effect ofcloud covergeographic positionaltitudeocean currents30s
- Q7The temperature differences seen between Quito, Ecuador, and Guayaquil, Ecuador, illustrate the effect ofgeographic positionaltitudeocean currentscloud cover30s
- Q8What causes clouds to reflect a portion of sunlight back to space?the amount of oxygen in the atmospheretemperature differences between the land and the atmosphereevaporation from the landa characteristic known as albedo30s
- Q9Clouds absorb outgoing radiation emitted by Earth and reradiate a portion of it back to the surface duringdaytimenighttimetimes of heavy rainfallsummer30s
- Q10Which of the following is a general trend on a world isothermal map?there are more isotherms closer to the equatortemperatures decrease from the tropics toward the polesisotherms become wider closer to the polestemperatures decrease from east to west30s
- Q11The average kinetic energy of the atoms or molecules in a particular substance is known as....heattemperatureconvectionconduction30s
- Q12Because of convection, the warmest air in a roomspreads out in all directionstransfers heat to the wallssinks toward the floorrises toward the ceiling30s
- Q13Which of the following is an example of radiation?a metal spoon becomes warm after being set in a pot of boiling waterour atmosphere is constantly being heated by the sunpancake batter cooks quickly after being spooned onto a hot griddlewarm water rises because it is less dens than cool water30s
- Q14According to the electromagnetic spectrum...ultraviolet light waves have some of the longest wavelengthslong-wave radiation occupies a smaller percentage than short-wave radiationvisible light waves have wavelengths of less than 1 micrometergramma rays and X-rays have long wavelengths30s
- Q15Which of the following is NOT true about radiation?radiation cannot travle through a vacuumobjects that absorb radiation will emit radiation equally as wellALL objects emit radiant energythe hottest radiation bodies produce the shortest wavelengths30s
