- Q1How will the presence of power plants burning fossil fuels MOST likely affect the water cycle?Emissions will decrease the amount of precipitation.Runoff containing emissions will cause very large algal blooms in ponds.Sulfur and nitrogen emissions will dissolve in rainwater to form acid rain.Emissions will cause the pH of surface waters to increase.300s
- Q2Look at the diagram to answer the question that follows. If a northern coastline such as the Norway coast is located near a warm ocean currentthe climate will be warmer than normal for that latitude.spring is shorter than normal for that latitude.the climate will be colder than normal for that latitude.spring is longer than normal for that latitude.300s
- Q3St. Augustine Florida and San Antonio Texas are located near the same latitude. However average winter temperatures in St. Augustine are higher than in San Antonio. Which MOST influences the milder temperatures of St. Augustine Florida?increased cloud covernearness to ocean currentsreduced solar radiationdistance north of the equator300s
- Q4Which human activity directly affects the quality of freshwater resources?throwing trash out of car windowsdepleting the ozone layerallowing runoff from agricultural fieldsburning gasoline in car engines300s
- Q5The Gulf Stream current travels from the equator toward Europe. If the Gulf Stream stopped flowing which environmental change would MOST likely occur?Land masses in the Northern Atlantic Ocean would have colder climates.Water temperatures in the Northern Atlantic Ocean would be much hotter.More reefs would develop in the waters near the eastern Greenland coastline.Most of Europe would be flooded because of rising sea levels.300s
- Q6What will most likely happen if a warm ocean current travels north or south from the equator?The current will become warmer causing it to become less dense and sink.The current will become cooler causing it to become less dense and rise.The current will become warmer causing it to become more dense and rise.The current will become cooler causing it to become more dense and sink.300s
- Q7The diagram illustrates an airflow pattern that occurs near the equator. Rising moist air causes the frequent occurrence of which weather condition at Location X?low evaporation ratehigh surface pressurecool and drycloudy and rainy300s
- Q8Clay is watching the weather to prepare for a trip to the beach tomorrow. The forecast predicts that a low-pressure system will move in overnight. Which type of weather can Clay MOST likely expect in the morning?sunnyfoggyclear and coldercloudy and rainy300s
- Q9A world map with lines of latitude and longitude is shown. At which location would a tropical air mass MOST likely form?40° N 70° W20° N 120° W60° S 30° E80° S 10° E300s
- Q10Air quality alerts are public health warnings about dangerous air quality. The alerts are color coded as shown in the table. In the summer meteorologists often issue an air quality alert if the forecast calls for calm winds/high humidity/and warm temperatures. On these days the sky becomes hazier and visibility decreases as the day progresses. The number of particles in the air determines the air quality which determines the color of the alert. Which circumstances would MOST likely have the greatest number of days with alerts of yellow or worse?larger cities where commuters rely on mass transit systemssmaller agricultural communities with very little trafficsmaller towns with few large industries or commuterslarger cities where commuters rely on personal cars300s
