  • Q1
    The worlds oceans account for almost all of the water found on Earth. Energy from the sun causes some of this water to become water vapor. Which process of the horologic cycle is responsible for this change in state from a liquid to a gas?
    precitpitation
    condensation
    evaporation
    sublimation

  • Q2
    Using what you know about the cycling of water and climate, predict which location would have a warmer average temperature at night during the winter. (Assuming all locations were the same distance from the equator)
    A town next to the ocean
    A town in the middle of the desert
    all locations would have the same average nighttime temperature
    A town located 40 miles inland away from the ocean

  • Q3
    London, England is located on the Atlantic Ocean, while Quebec, Canada is located inland. Both of these cities are about the same distance north of the equator (both with 5 degrees of the same latitude). However, the weather that is received is quite different. During the winter time, Quebec is on average 15 degrees Celsius colder. What factor is most likely contribute to the difference in temperatures?
    London receives more direct sunlight than Quebec
    Quebec will have colder temperatures than London since it is north of the United States
    England receives an extra hour of sunlight since they do not participate in daylight savings time
    The gulf stream keeps London warmer during the winter

    evaporation
    run-off
    precipitation, evaporation and run-off are all parts of the water cycle
    precipitation

  • Q5
    The rainforest is hot, humid, and has frequent rainfall. In what way does the interaction between the atmosphere and the hydrosphere assist in maintaining this type of climate? (SC.6.E.7.2)
    The hydrosphere sends water to the clouds through transpiration, keeping the humidity levels high for most of the year.
    The Sun’s rays are trapped by the atmosphere, keeping temperatures high for most of the year.
    The rainforest is close to the oceans, allowing the hydrosphere to release frequent rainfall
    The Sun supplies energy for the evaporation and transpiration of water, causing frequent rainfall and hot, humid temperatures.
