- Q1
What is the key concept that explains why an air parcel rises and causes more rainfall when it starts with a higher temperature?
When an air parcel starts with a lower temperature, it will rise higher and lose more energy, causing more rainfall.
If an air parcel is warmer than the surrounding air it will rise
The troposphere is warmest at the surface and coldest at its highest point.

Apply your understanding of weather patterns to predict the possible impact of a storm with a temperature of 35°C (95°F) and 15 cm (6 in) of rain on Galetown.
Lower temperatures and less severe storms
Decreased rainfall and milder storms
Increased flooding and more severe storms
No significant impact on weather patterns
45s - Q5
Why is the amount of rain in Galetown different from storm to storm?
Storms are caused by air pressure

falsetrueTrue or False45s - Q8
Which factor contributes to the severity of storms in Galetown?
Increased population
Warmer Temperatures
Higher Altitude
Proximity to the coast
45s - Q9
Storm 3 had a greater change in temperature than Storm 2
truefalseTrue or False30s - Q10
What is the main process that causes more rain in Galetown during warmer weather?
Air Parcel Movement
Evaporation
Energy Transfer
Condensation
45s - Q11
Apply the concept of air parcel temperature to explain how a higher temperature before a storm could lead to more severe rainstorms in Galetown.
Higher initial temperature causes air parcels to rise higher, lose more energy, and produce more rainfall.
Higher initial temperature causes air parcels to rise less, leading to less energy transfer and less rainfall.
Higher initial temperature leads to faster evaporation, causing less rainfall.

What is the relationship between air temperature and the severity of rainstorms in Galetown?
Higher temperatures lead to more severe rainstorms.
Higher temperatures lead to less severe rainstorms
Temperature has no effect on rainstorm severity.
Lower temperatures lead to more severe rainstorms.
