- Q2A dominant gas in the atmosphere that forms clouds iscarbon dioxidenitrogenoxygenwater vapor120s
- Q3The Gulf Stream current shown here makes the waters of parts of the North Atlanticdensercoolerless nutrient richwarmer120s
- Q4Without heat from the Sun, the water cycle wouldreverseslow downnot be affectednot work120s
- Q5What forms when air masses with different temperatures meet?currentstormthunderfronts (frontal boundaries)120s
- Q6Large winds that circle the Earth occur because the equatoris the place where Earth bulgesgets less of the Sun's energyThe equator is perpendicular to the Sun.is warmer than the north and south pole120s
- Q7At day the sun heats the ocean which stores energy. At evening, land cools and the ocean transfers energy to the air. Which direction will the cool breeze blow in?top to bottomright to leftthere will be no breezeleft to right120s
- Q8Conditions must be just right for a hurricane to occur. Which is the first step of the development of a hurricane? Hint (A is the first step, B is the second step and so on)Very warm ocean water evapores in the atmospherecool ocean water replace H2OHot dry winds blows from land to seaHumid ocean air cools, condenses and it rains.120s
- Q9If warm air moves quickly from a large body of water, we can expect _______ to occur where th two air masses meet.low humidityprecipitationa gentle breezefog120s
- Q10Groundwater move from the ground via plants and then back into the atmosphere bycondensationprecipitationrun off watertranspiration120s
- Q11Why are coastal areas colder during the day than inland areas?A cool breeze blows from the seaThe sea absorbs heat of the air over coastal areasCoastal areas have storms everydayIt rains during the day in coastal areas.120s
- Q12How do ocean currents influence the climate of a place?They bring cold water from the poles reducing the temperature along the coasts.They transport heat over large distances or areas, affecting the wind that blow over land.They draw out moisture from the wind, causing long spells of dry weather.120s
- Q13Water changes heat with air and plays a big role in Earth's climate. Ocean currents influence the climate of a place because they transport heat over large distances affecting the wind that blows over land.uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the SunEarth's yearly revolutions around the Sunthe direction of ocean currentsuneven landforms on Earth's surface120s
- Q14In the ocean the colder water sinks into deep basins, while warmer stays closer to the surface. The water then moves around the ocean basin. This causesocean currentplate tectonicstidal waveswind drifts120s
- Q15Burning of fossil fuels has change the atmosphere byincreasing the concentration of carbon dioxidereducing the CFCs in the atmosphereproducing a hole in the ozoneincreasing the ozone concentration in the atmosphere120s
