- Q1Imagine a sea breeze. Over the land there is _____________ pressure. Fill in the blank.NoHighColdLow60s
- Q2Which is not a type of energy transfer?RadiationConductionConvectionRays60s
- Q3Which of the following is a cause of air and water currents?Uneven temperaturesStormsTime of dayThe moon60s
- Q4The Coriolis effectIs responsible for whirlpoolsMakes curved lines appear straightCauses storms over the oceansMakes straight lines appear curved60s
- Q5Everything is made up of particles. When they move quickly they have high kinetic energy. Things with a high kinetic energy willhave a high atomic energyalso have high thermal energyhave a cold temperatureappear to be moving60s
- Q6The Jet Stream isA narrow river of high speed wind moving from east to westA narrow river of high speed wind moving from West to EastWarm to the north and cold to the southone of the Westerlies that blows over the United States60s
- Q7How does convection transport energy?By radiation, thermal radiation leaves solid objects by traveling upIn a circle shape. The heat goes up and the cold comes down.By touching, two objects touch and the heat moves from the warm one to the cold oneIn waves, the heat is carried by waves even through the vacuum of space60s
- Q8In the Northern Hemisphere, Polar Easterlies blowFrom the North Pole to the South PoleFrom the East to the SouthFrom the Northeast to the SouthwestFrom the Southwest to the Southeast60s
- Q9The thermal energy in air is transported throughout Earth usingRadiationConvectionHeatConduction60s
- Q10A cold air mass will causeLow PressureLand BreezeSea BreezeHigh Pressure60s
- Q11Which of these things does NOT help to create wind?Uneven heating of the Earth by the SunThe movement of hurricanes off of the coasts of different land massesHigh pressure and low pressure air masses moving aroundHot air transferring thermal energy to cold air through convection60s
- Q12High specific heat meansSomething holds a HIGH amount of heat before changing temperatureSomething has a specific temperature that it needs to reach before you can tell it is hotSomething changes temperature quicklySomething holds a LOW amount of heat before changing temperature60s
- Q13Water hasHigh specific heatLow specific heatVarying specific heatKinetic energy60s
- Q14Areas near the coast often have warmer winters than Ohio and cooler summers than Ohio. Why?Water has a low specific heat. This means low change.Areas at the edges of land masses are always warmer than areas that are inland.Water absorbs and releases heat energy. This makes the temperatures change less.Water is humid. Humidity makes the temperature change less.60s
- Q15Over the ocean the air is more humid. This makes the areas along the ocean haveMore precipitationMore stormsHotter weatherColder weather60s
