- Q3Which occurs within a high-pressure system?calm weather, as air sinkslarge clouds, as air risesthe formation of tornadoesthe formation of hurricanes45s
- Q4How does the temperature of the stratosphere compare to the mesosphere?It is warmer than the mesosphere because the stratosphere contains the ozone layerIt is colder than the mesosphere because the stratosphere contains the ionosphere.It is warmer than the mesosphere because the stratosphere contains the ionosphere.It is colder than the mesosphere because the stratosphere contains the ozone layer45s
- Q5Why does air pressure decrease from the troposphere to the exosphere?because there are fewer air molecules as altitude increasesbecause there are higher temperatures as altitude increasesbecause there are more air molecules as altitude increasesbecause there are lower temperatures as altitude increases45s
- Q6Which describes the difference between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion?Nuclear fission is the process that produces the radiant energy of stars, and nuclear fusion splits a heavier nucleus into smaller nuclei.Nuclear fission produces energy in nuclear power plants, and nuclear fusion produces the energy in the core of Earth.Nuclear fission splits a heavier nucleus into smaller nuclei, and nuclear fusion is the process that produces the radiant energy of stars.Nuclear fission produces the energy in the core of Earth, and nuclear fusion produces energy in nuclear power plants.45s
- Q7Which is most likely a prevention strategy for flooding?recycling bottled-water containersbuilding waste landfills for metals and other contaminantsreducing water consumptionbuilding artificial levees45s
- Q8Why are ocean currents important to coastal regions?They increase the rate of precipitation as cold water moves along coastal regions.They move vertically pushing warm water and nutrients to the surface along coastal regions.They produce high and low tides along coastal regionsThey can warm or cool the air temperatures along coastal regions.45s
- Q9How could the removal of trees and other vegetation impact an environment?by increasing oxygen productionby increasing soil formationby increasing erosionby increasing transpiration45s
