- Q1Hurricane season for the Atlantic Ocean lasts from June to November. Which factor makes an Atlantic hurricane more likely to form during those months?weak trade windswarm ocean watersstrong wind shearslow humidity rates30s7.E1.3
- Q2This weather map shows a variety of high and low-pressure systems across the country. Which of the following is the MOST likely CAUSE of the high and low-pressure systems? (Remember about density, temperature and pressure)solar energylunar gravityglobal warmingmagnetic field30s7.E1.3
- Q3I see very high feathery icy cirrus clouds in the air. What can I expect to happen to the weather?Fair now and for the rest of the weekThunderstorms and tornadoesFair right now, but rain predicted in the next 24-48 hoursFog30s7.E1.3
- Q4The graph shows the barometric pressure in Henderson, NV, on a day that had heavy rainstorms. At what time did the rain MOST likely begin to stop? (STOP! Think this through. When did the rain BEGIN to STOP. 2 step problem. Step 1- what kind of pressure makes the rain. And Step 2- what would happen to the pressure that would make the rain STOP)between 8 A.M. and 9 A.M.between 10 A.M. and noonbetween 6 P.M. and 7 P.M.between 3 P.M. and 6 P.M.30s7.E1.3
- Q5What is the primary cause of rainstorms? (THINK- more than one of these is TRUE> Which one is the MAIN cause of rain)Earth is heated by the Sun.Water forms droplets when cooled.Mountains direct moist air upward.Most of Earth is covered with water.30s7.E1.3
- Q6An air mass travels north over the Pacific Ocean, from the TROPICS, and then eastward across the United States. Which weather pattern can be expected?warm and drycool and wetcool and drywarm and wet30s7.E1.3
- Q7Which condition is associated with MOST warm fronts?violent air mass collisions- tornadoes and thunderstormstornado formationslow temperaturescloud formations bringing steady, light precipitation30s7.E1.3
- Q8How do the conditions for a tornado differ from the conditions for a hurricane?Tornadoes never form when there is rain, while hurricanes always form with rain.Tornadoes form under low pressure, while hurricanes form under high pressure.Tornadoes form in a stable atmosphere, while hurricanes form in an unstable atmosphere.Tornadoes form over land, while hurricanes form over bodies of water.30s7.E1.3
- Q9A model is shown. The warm red water from the jar rises to the top of the bowl which is filled with cooler water. This model is MOST likely showing which event?the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in lungsthe direction in which a hurricane movesthe convection currents that form thunderstormsthe way heat is transferred from a gas grill to food30s7.E1.3
- Q10The reading on a barometer rises when the airpressure increases.speed decreases.pressure decreases.speed increases.30s7.E1.3
