• No, the amount of water vapor was the same before both storms

• The amount of water vapor is not mentioned

Which storm is likely to have had more rainfall?

• Storm 1. The air parcel at the surface was warmer and had more energy, so when it moved higher, it lost more energy.

• Storm 1. The air parcel at the surface was warmer and had more energy, so when cooler air from above came down, it lost more energy.

• Storm 2. The air parcel at the surface was cooler and had less energy, so when it moved higher, it gained more energy.

• Storm 2. The air parcel at the surface was cooler and had less energy, so with low energy it remained near the surface.

What conditions could have caused Storm 1 to have more rainfall than Storm 2?

• Cooler than before Storm 2 and windy. Wind pushed the cooler air parcel even higher and the air parcel gained more energy.

• Cooler than before Storm 2 and windy. Wind caused the cooler air from above the air parcel to move down, causing the cooler air parcel at the surface to lose more energy.

• Warmer than before Storm 2 and windy. Wind pushed more water vapor out of the warmer air parcel.

• Warmer than before Storm 2 and windy. Wind pushed the warmer air parcel even higher and the air parcel lost more energy.

The air temperature of Ostley is higher than the air temperature of Eastbrook. What is the main cause for the different air temperatures?

• More energy from the sun is transferred to the ground in Ostley than in Eastbrook, and that energy is transferred to the air above it.

• More energy from the sun is transferred to the air in Ostley than in Eastbrook, and that energy is transferred from the air to the ground below it.

• The heat from the center of Earth transferred more energy to the ground in Ostley than in Eastbrook, and that energy transferred to the air above it.

• There was less wind in Ostley and more wind in Eastbrook. Wind moved more energy out of the air in Eastbrook than in Ostley.

Nasha left a hot bowl of soup in a cool room. Her friend tells her that her soup will get cold if she forgets to eat it. How cold could it get?

• Only a little colder. It started out much hotter, so it will stop cooling down before it reaches the same temperature as the room.

• Only a little colder. It will stop cooling down when its temperature is about halfway between its starting temperature and the temperature of the room.

• Only as cold as the temperature of the room. It will stop cooling down when it is exactly the same temperature as the room.

• Colder than the temperature of the room. It will keep cooling down for as long as she leaves it in the room.

Which air parcel will have more rainfall and why?

• Both air parcels will have the same amount of rain. They have the same surrounding air temperature, so the same amount of water vapor will fall as rain.

• Air Parcel 1 will gain energy from the surrounding air, which will cause more water vapor to fall as rain.

• Air Parcel 1 will lose energy to the surrounding air, which will cause more water vapor to fall as rain.

• Air Parcel 2 is colder than Air Parcel 1, so more water vapor will fall as rain.

What could explain why Storm 1 had more rainfall than Storm 2?

• Warmer temperatures leading to increased evaporation and condensation.

• Presence of a low-pressure system that enhanced cloud formation.

• Stronger winds that carried more moisture into Storm 1.

• Higher humidity levels in the region where Storm 1 developed.
