Question 7

When is there more lift (updraft) in a cloud?

Accepted Answer

When there is more heat transferred to the air, making it less dense and rise faster

Answer

When there is more heat transferred to the air, making it more dense and rise faster

Answer

When there is less heat transferred to the air, making it more dense and rise faster

Answer

When there is less heat transferred to the air, making it less dense and rise faster

Question 8

What is an example of Cloud Condensation Nuclei (CCN)?

Accepted Answer

Dust

Accepted Answer

pollen

Answer

Water Vapor

Answer

Air Molecule

Answer

Water droplet

Question 9

What conditions create a strong storm? Select all that apply

Accepted Answer

High Humidity

Accepted Answer

Warm Temp at Ground, very cold at high altitudes

Answer

Low Humidity

Answer

Warm Temp at Ground, Cool at high altitudes

Answer

Cool at the ground, very cold at high altitudes

Question 10

Why are layers formed in hailstones?

Accepted Answer

The water in the clouds freeze at different rates

Answer

The water freezes and melts in the cloud

Answer

The updraft is carrying different substances that create the layer in the hail

Answer

The hailstone gets layers as it collides with other hailstones.

Question 11

What happens when water vapor is cooled?

Accepted Answer

The molecules move slower and get more dense

Answer

The molecules move faster and get less dense

Answer

The molecules move slower and get less dense

Answer

The molecules move faster and get more dense

Question 12

When does frost form?

Accepted Answer

When water vapor molecules are supercooled into a solid

Answer

When water vapor molecules are cooled, slow down, and condense into a liquid

Answer

When liquid water is cooled to form water vapor

Answer

When solid water melts into a liquid

Question 13

Why do we see clouds?

Accepted Answer

The water droplets and ice crystals that make up clouds reflect enough light for us to see them

Answer

There is enough dust and solid particles in the air to see

Answer

The air is packed closely together to see clouds

Answer

The water droplets and ice crystals absorb enough light allowing us to see them

Question 14

When will precipitation fall?

Accepted Answer

When the weight of the water droplets/ice crystals is more than the updraft

Answer

When the weight of the water droplets/ice crystals is equal to the updraft

Answer

When the weight of the water droplets/ice crystals is less than the updraft

Question 15

When will water rise in the clouds?

Accepted Answer

When the weight of the water droplets/ice crystals is less than the updraft

Answer

When the weight of the water droplets/ice crystals is equal to the updraft

Answer

When the weight of the water droplets/ice crystals is more than the updraft

Question 16

Which conditions will have the largest updraft?

Accepted Answer

When a large area of land is heated much more than the air above it

Answer

When a small area of land is heated much more than the air above it

Answer

When a large area of land is heated similarly to the air above it

Answer

When a small area of land is heated similarly to the air above it

Question 17

What happens when water droplets are close to each other?

Accepted Answer

They will stick together to become a larger water droplet

Answer

They will repel each other

Answer

They will become a solid

Answer

They are less dense

Question 18

What happens first to cause hail to form on sunny days?

Accepted Answer

The ground absorbs the solar radiation

Answer

The ground reflects the solar radiation

Answer

Water condenses in the clouds

Answer

There is an updraft

Question 19

What happens when the ground absorbs more energy to cause hailstorms on a sunny day? Chose all that apply

Accepted Answer

The ground causes the air above it to heat up, become less dense, and rise

Accepted Answer

Water from the ground will evaporate

Answer

The ground causes the air above it to heat up, become more dense, and sink

Answer

There is less updraft

Question 20

How is hail formed?

Accepted Answer

Water freezes higher in the cloud and falls to the ground when the hail is larger than the updraft

Answer

Water freezes in the bottom of the cloud and falls to the ground when the hail is larger than the updraft

Answer

Water droplets freeze as they fall to the ground

Answer

On cold days when there is little updraft, water will freeze and fall down to the ground as hail

Question 21

When are small hailstones created? Pick the best answer.

Accepted Answer

On a day where less energy is absorbed by the ground, weaker updraft, and the hailstone falls to the ground quickly

Answer

Smaller updraft

Answer

The hailstone stay in the cloud for longer and less energy is absorbed at the ground

Answer

Less energy is absorbed at the ground and there is a weaker updraft

Question 22

How are large hailstones created? Select all that apply

Accepted Answer

Hailstone stays in the cloud for a longer amount of time

Accepted Answer

There is more energy absorbed at the ground and a stronger updraft

Answer

Hailstone does not stay in the cloud for long

Answer

There is less energy absorbed at the ground and a weaker updraft
