    No
    High
    Cold
    Low

  • Q2
    Which is not a type of energy transfer?
    Radiation
    Conduction
    Convection
    Rays

  • Q3
    Which of the following is a cause of air and water currents?
    Uneven temperatures
    Storms
    Time of day
    The moon
    60s
  • Q4
    The Coriolis effect
    Is responsible for whirlpools
    Makes curved lines appear straight
    Causes storms over the oceans
    Makes straight lines appear curved

  • Q5
    Everything is made up of particles. When they move quickly they have high kinetic energy. Things with a high kinetic energy will
    have a high atomic energy
    also have high thermal energy
    have a cold temperature
    appear to be moving

  • Q6
    The Jet Stream is
    A narrow river of high speed wind moving from east to west
    A narrow river of high speed wind moving from West to East
    Warm to the north and cold to the south
    one of the Westerlies that blows over the United States
    60s
  • Q7
    How does convection transport energy?
    By radiation, thermal radiation leaves solid objects by traveling up
    In 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 one
    In waves, the heat is carried by waves even through the vacuum of space

  • Q8
    In the Northern Hemisphere, Polar Easterlies blow
    From the North Pole to the South Pole
    From the East to the South
    From the Northeast to the Southwest
    From the Southwest to the Southeast
    60s
  • Q9
    The thermal energy in air is transported throughout Earth using
    Radiation
    Convection
    Heat
    Conduction
    60s
  • Q10
    A cold air mass will cause
    Low Pressure
    Land Breeze
    Sea Breeze
    High Pressure
    60s
  • Q11
    Which of these things does NOT help to create wind?
    Uneven heating of the Earth by the Sun
    The movement of hurricanes off of the coasts of different land masses
    High pressure and low pressure air masses moving around
    Hot air transferring thermal energy to cold air through convection
    60s
  • Q12
    High specific heat means
    Something holds a HIGH amount of heat before changing temperature
    Something has a specific temperature that it needs to reach before you can tell it is hot
    Something changes temperature quickly
    Something holds a LOW amount of heat before changing temperature
    60s
  • Q13
    Water has
    High specific heat
    Low specific heat
    Varying specific heat
    Kinetic energy
    60s
  • Q14
    Areas 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
  • Q15
    Over the ocean the air is more humid. This makes the areas along the ocean have
    More precipitation
    More storms
    Hotter weather
    Colder weather
