- 10.As water is heated, it evaporates into the atmosphere. As this water vapor rises into the atmosphere, it can saturate the air with moisture and cause high amounts of humidity. When air has a lot of humidity, dew and even fog can form, depending on the air temperature. The table below shows the temperature and dew point of an area on 4 separate mornings. Use the table to determine which morning(s) would most likely have fog. Temperature Dew Point Morning #1 58°F 55°F Morning #2 47°F 40°F Morning #3 61°F 60°F Morning #4 48°F 48°F
- A.
Morning 1
- B.
Morning 2
- C.
Morning 3
- D.
Morning 4
- E.
Both 3 and 4
- 11.What is the relative humidity when the air temperature is at the dew point?
- A.
50 percent
- B.
100 percent
- C.
10 percent
- D.
20 percent
- 12.Different surfaces absorb the sun's energy in different ways. These differences have an influence on the weather. As the surface of Earth heats up, the air above the surface heats up as well. In certain parts of the Earth, air will heat up more quickly than others. Select the the surface (s) that would cause air above the surface to heat the fastest.
- A.
Paved road on a sunny day
- B.
Snowy hillside
- C.
Desert landscape
- D.
Both A and C
- 13.What would you expect to happen to the air pressure as a storm approaches?
- A.
It would remain steady
- B.
It would increase
- C.
It would decrease
- D.
It would increase, then decrease
- 14.
The map below shows the temperatures of surface water in different parts of the world. Read the descriptions below and decide which part of the map the description corresponds to.- A.
Region 1 has the least amount of energy absorbed
- B.
Region 2 Temperatures will heat up quickly , and will cool faster
- C.
Region 3 Area experiences more evaporation into the atmosphere
- D.
All of the above statements are true
- 15.When the greenhouse effect becomes stronger, more and more heat will be trapped on the Earth, increasing the average temperature here. What is this called?
- A.
Global warming
- B.
Global cooling
- C.
Global heating
- D.
Greenhouse heating
- 16.The greenhouse effect and ozone depletion (holes in ozone layer) are the same thing.
- A.
True
- B.
False
- 17.What's the name of the lower atmosphere that contains the greenhouse gases?
- A.
Mesosphere
- B.
Troposphere
- C.
Exosphere
- D.
