Earth has many types of climate zones. The map below shows the tundra climate zones of the Northern Hemisphere. Which of the following BEST describes this type of climate?

It has very cold temperatures because it is far from the equator.

It is very hot because it is on the coastline.

It is very wet because it is below sea level.

It receives very little snowfall because it is close to the ocean.

Which of these describes a common difference between coastal areas of land and inland areas?

Coastal areas receive more rain.

Coastal areas have fewer storms.

Deserts in the temperate zones can be extremely hot in the afternoon and below freezing at night. Which answer best explains why this happens?

Temperate deserts have very little cloud cover and no humidity. This means that more energy from the Sun reaches the desert in the day, but that heat can escape quickly at night.

Temperate deserts are found at high elevations, where the Sun and the wind are much stronger. This creates more extreme temperature changes.

Temperate deserts lack trees and grass. With no trees, the Sun shines directly down and causes it to get hot in the day, and with no grass, the heat escapes at night.

Temperate deserts have higher rainfall than other kinds of deserts. Warm rain during the day produces warm breezes in the desert. Cooler rains at night draw warm air away from the desert.

Water changes state as it moves from Earth’s surface to the atmosphere and back again. During which part of the water cycle is water in a gas form?

When runoff moves down a mountain

The water cycle is a continuous process that moves water all around Earth’s surfaces and through the atmosphere. What is the energy source that powers the water cycle?

The heat from the Sun causes evaporation.

Melting glaciers add more water to the ocean.

Clouds form and drop water in areas that are dry.

Strong winds push tiny droplets of water out of the ocean into the air.

Melanie put a bucket of water outside on a warm, sunny day. When she returned later, the water level had changed. What did Melanie most likely observe when she returned?

The water level had decreased because the heat from the Sun caused some water to evaporate.

The water level had increased because water in the air condensed into the bucket.

The water level had decreased because water in the air condensed into the bucket.

The water level had increased because the heat from the Sun caused some water to evaporate.

Dante was swimming with his friends when he looked at the sky and saw cumulonimbus clouds. What type of weather is this an indication of?

Thunderstorms with strong winds.

Jakari lives near the beach in Clearwater, Florida. He noticed one summer evening that there was a warm breeze coming from the west off the Gulf of Mexico. How will the direction of the wind affect the weather in Jakari’s city?

The wind will carry more water vapor over land, causing higher humidity.

There will be a lower chance of precipitation.

The wind does not affect the weather in an area.

The wind will cool the area, increasing the chances for snow to fall.
