Weather and Climate Test Questions Review 24_25

​ Two statements that describe how unequal heating of Earth affects climate (a)   ​ ​ (b)  

• Higher latitudes =more solar energy = higher temp
• Larger temp changes in ocean than land
• lower latitudes=less solar energy = higher temps
• smaller temp changes in ocean than land
• higher latitudes=less solar energy=lower temps

Match the words into each box to match each part of the model with what it represents on Earth.

Starting with the shoe box in the model, which of the follwoing shows the correct order for how water changes?

• Evaporation-condensation-precipitation

• condensation-crystallization-transpiration

• precipitation-condensation-evaporation

• transpiration-condensation-crystallization

Which set of arrows shows the MOST LIKELY movement of water in the model?

• 
• 
• 
• 

How would heavy cloud cover most likely affect the water cycle?

• less sunlight reaching the surface would increase the rate of transpiration

• less sunlight reaching the surface would decrease the rate of evaporation

• sunlight reflecting off the clouds would increase the rate of precipitation

• sunlight reflecting off the clouds would decrease the rate of condensation

Warm air rises because it

• has lower density than cool air

• lacks density

• is unaffected by pressure

• has a higher density than cool air

Evaporation in the water cycle is most affected by

• Earth's landforms

• Earth's rotation

• Human activities

• Sun's energy

According to the weather map, what is usually associated wiht a high-pressure zone?

• rainy weather

• clear weather

• cold temperatures

• hot temperatures

What weather is usually found at a cold front?

• cold temperatures and clear skies

• cold temperatures and rain

• warm temperatures and rain

• warm temperatures and clear skies

Three stages of the water cycle that are necessary for it to rain include​ (a)   ​ (b)   ​ (c)  

• condensation
• precipitation
• evaporation
• deposition
• sublimation
• transpiration
