Question 12

On Day 1 and Day 2, the air parcel above San Angelo started with the same amount of water vapor in it. It rained at the end of Day 1 but it did not rain at the end of Day 2.Why did it rain on Day 1 but not on Day 2? What could have been different to cause rainfall on Day 1?

Accepted Answer

The air parcel was warmer than the surrounding air on Day 1, so it lost energy on Day 1 but not on Day 2.

Answer

The air parcel was warmer than the surrounding air on Day 1, so it gained energy on Day 1 but not on Day 2.

Answer

The air parcel was at the same low temperature as the surrounding air on Day 1, so it had low energy on Day 1 but not on Day 2.

Answer

The air parcel was cooler than the surrounding air on Day 1, so it gained energy on Day 1 but not on Day 2.

Question 13

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

Accepted Answer

More energy from the sun is transferred to the ground in Oakland than in Eastland, and that energy is transferred to the air above it.

Answer

More energy from the sun is transferred to the air in Oakland than in Eastland, and that energy is transferred from the air to the ground below it.

Answer

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

Answer

There was less wind in Oakland and more wind in Eastland. Wind moved more energy out of the air in Eastland than in Oakland.

Question 14

Bonnie 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?

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

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

Answer

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.

Answer

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

Question 15

Jamar left a cup of hot chocolate in a cool room. His mother tells him that his hot chocolate will get cold if he forgets to drink it. How cold could it get?

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

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

Answer

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

Answer

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.

Question 16

John put a bottle of water on the desk and left the room. When he came back, he found water drops on the outside of the bottle. Where did the water on the outside of the bottle come from?

Accepted Answer

The air in the room. Water vapor in the air turned into liquid water.

Answer

The air in the room. Oxygen in the air turned into liquid water.

Answer

Water inside the bottle. The water leaked through the bottle.

Answer

Water inside the bottle. The water moved along the surface of the bottle.

Question 17

Rochelle had two rainstorms in February. Storm 1 had more rainfall than Storm 2. The temperature of the surrounding areas was the same before both storms. Which storm had more rainfall?

Accepted Answer

Answer

Storm 2

Answer

Both had the same rainfall

Answer

Cannot be determined

Question 18

Rochelle had two rainstorms in February. Storm 1 had more rainfall than Storm 2. The temperature of the surrounding areas was the same before both storms. What conditions could have caused Storm 1 to have more rainfall than Storm 2?

Before Storm 1, Rochelle could have been...

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

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

Answer

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.

Answer

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

Question 19

Which Storm likely had more rainfall and why?

Accepted Answer

Storm 1. Wind pushed the warmer air parcel even higher in the troposphere and the air parcel lost more energy.

Answer

Storm 1. Wind pushed more water vapor out of the warmer air parcel.

Answer

Storm 2. Wind caused cooler air from above the air parcel to move down, causing the air parcel at the surface to lose more energy.

Answer

Storm 2. The cooler air parcel had less energy at the surface, so when wind pushed it higher, it gained more energy.

Answer

Sink

Answer

Stay in place

Answer

Disappear

Question 23

Accepted Answer

True

Answer

False

Question 24

When will an air parcel stop losing energy? (Select all that applies)

Accepted Answer

When the air parcel reaches equilibrium with the surrounding air

Accepted Answer

When the air parcel is the same as the surrounding air temperature.

Answer

When the air parcel runs out of water vapor

Answer

When condensation happens

Question 25

True or False: The more energy an air parcel starts with, the more it loses and cools.

Accepted Answer

True

Answer

False

Question 26

Do you think the air parcel shown will rise?

Accepted Answer

Yes, because it is less dense than the surrounding air.

Answer

No, because it is more dense than the surrounding air.

Answer

Yes, because it is at a lower temperature than the surrounding air.

Answer

No, because it is at the same temperature as the surrounding air.

Question 27
