How does the ocean affect the weather along the coast of North Carolina?

• It causes less wind along the coastal areas than further inland

• It causes less severe weather along the coastal areas than areas farther inland

• It causes less change in temperature along the coastal areas than areas farther inland

• It causes more frequent changes in humidity along the coastal areas than areas farther inland

Which will most likely be the effect on cloud cover when there is a stationary front in an area?

• Low, thick clouds will remain in the area while the front remains stationary

• Light, wispy clouds will remain in the area while the front remains stationary

• Light, variable winds will partly clear the skies until the front begins to move

• High winds will blow the clouds away, and skies will be clear and sunny until the front begins to move

• Light precipitation will begin as the front arrives and cold weather will remain once the front is gone

• Skies will clear as clouds are moved by the front and grow cloudy after the front is gone

• Skies will clear as clouds are moved by the front and remain clear after the front is gone

Which best describes how changes in air pressure can affect the development of a hurricane?

• Cooling ocean water causes air pressure to drop

  This causes high winds and rain to form

  This becomes a hurricane

• Cooling ocean water causes air pressure to rise

  This causes light winds and snow to develop

  This becomes a hurricane

• Warming ocean water causes air pressure to rise

  This causes light winds and sleet to develop

  This becomes a hurricane

• Warming ocean water causes air pressure to drop

  This causes high winds and thunderstorms to develop

  This becomes a hurricane

Which type of air pressure causes a storm to form on a spring day?

• low pressure: causing air to rise, then cool, and form water droplets

• high pressure: causing air to rise, then cool, and form water droplets

• low pressure: causing air to sink and bring water droplets to the ground

• high pressure: causing air to sink and bring water droplets to the ground

Which best explains why a nearby body of water tends to make local temperatures milder?

• Water constantly releases heat into the air

• Water gains and loses heat more slowly than land

• Some water stays liquid when everything else is frozen

• When water is frozen it protects the nearby area from wind
