UNDER WHAT CONDITIONS SHOULD A STUDENT INFORM THE INSTRUCTOR OF A LAB INJURY? CHOOSE THE BEST ANSWER.

• Treat yourself with first aid alone.

• The instructor must be informed of all laboratory injuries.

• Storm out the laboratory when injured.

• Cry yourself out at the corner of the laboratory.

WHICH PRECAUTION SHOULD ONE TAKE WITH EXITS IN THE LABORATORY?

• Block the door with an EXIT sign

• Double-lock all the exits of the laboratory

• locate the exits prior to laboratory use

• None of these.

WHY DOES THE AIR TEMPERATURE RISE IN THE SUMMER?

• We are closer to the sun.

• The air becomes thicker and denser.

• The sun’s rays are more direct and days are longer.

• The ratio of the hours of daylight to the hours of night is reduced.

WHAT IS AN “EQUINOX”?

• Full tilt toward sun

• Full tilt away from sun

• Shortest day

• Equal day and night

What is “condensation” in A WATER Cycle?

• The process of water evaporating into vapor due to heat.

• The process of ice melting into liquid water when heated.

• The process of water being absorbed by soil and plants.

• The process by which water vapor in the air cools and changes into liquid water, forming clouds.

WHAT ROLE DO MOUNTAINS PLAY IN WEATHER PATTERNS?

• Mountains have no effect on weather patterns.

• Mountains always create rain on their slopes.

• Mountains can block the flow of moist air, leading to different weather conditions on either side.

• Mountains only affect temperature, not precipitation.

WHAT IS AN “OROGRAPHIC EFFECT”?

• A type of wind that occurs in coastal areas, bringing dry air and high temperatures.

• A climatic condition that leads to increased humidity and temperature in urban areas.

• A weather phenomenon where moist air is lifted over a mountain range, causing precipitation on the windward side and creating a rain shadow on the leeward side.

• A phenomenon where air pressure decreases with altitude, affecting weather patterns.

WHAT IS A “RAIN SHADOW”?

• A region that experiences heavy rainfall due to ocean currents.

• An area on the leeward side of a mountain that receives significantly less precipitation than the windward side.

• A type of cloud formation that leads to increased rainfall.

• An area that is always dry and receives no precipitation.

WHICH SIDE OF A MOUNTAIN RANGE OFTEN HAS MORE RAIN AND VEGETATION?

• The leeward side.

• The windward side.

• The northern side.

• The southern side.

HOW DOES ELEVATION AFFECT TEMPERATURE?

• As elevation increases, temperature generally increases.

• Elevation has no effect on temperature.

• As elevation increases, temperature generally decreases.

• Temperature remains constant regardless of elevation.
