- Q1
Ozone id one of the components of the Earth's atmosphere. Which is the following is TRUE about ozone in our atmosphere?
Ozone is the same as oxygen we breathe
Ozone is formed when an electric discharge is passed through molecular oxygen
Ozone is created when a molecule of oxygen (O2) and another molecule of oxygen (O2) collide in the presence of a third, neutral molecule.
Ozone is evenly distributed in our atmosphere
60s - Q2
In which layer is the atmospheric pressure greatest?
Stratosphere
Mesosphere
Troposphere
Thermosphere
60s - Q3
In the troposphere what happens to the temperature as altitude increases?
It increases, then, at certain height, it decreases.
It increases
It decreases
It remains the same
60s - Q4
In which layer of the atmosphere do all the weather changes happen?
Stratosphere
Mesosphere
Troposphere
Thermosphere
60s - Q5
Which of the following statements is TRUE about the atmosphere?
It is the layer of gases that surrounds the earth.
It is the layer in which weather occurs
It is the layer that contains the ozone layer
It is the layer of water in the oceans
60s - Q6
Climate is determined by which of the following factors?
Temperature and precipitation
Temperature and cloud cover
Temperature and pressure
Precipitation and pressure
60s - Q7
What causes the change in temperature in the thermosphere as altitude increases?
Direct solar radiation
Radiation from the surface of the earth
Too much water vapor content of the air
Absorption of ultraviolet rays from the sun
60s - Q8
Clouds are visible indication of what is going on in the atmosphere? All of the following are indicated by cumulonimbus clouds EXCEPT ___.
fair weather
more precipitation
vertical formation of clouds
thunderstorm
60s - Q9
For condensation to occur, air must be saturated. Saturation of air takes place when either of the following happens EXCEPT ___.
there is downward movement of air
there is a surface on which water vapor can condense
when air is cooled to its dew point
when water vapor is added to air
60s - Q10
Relative humidity depends on two factors: temperature and amount of moisture added to or removed from air. Which does NOT happen if temperature is changed?
When temperature is lowered relative humidity remains the same.
When air is cooled beyond dew point more moisture is held, thus increasing relative humidity
Cooling of air beyond dew point produces precipitation in the form of clouds, dew, or fog
When temperature is increased, relative humidity is increased
