  2. Fronts 100 What type of front does this represent? Answer

  3. Fronts 200 What has most likely occurred in this area? • A warm front has passed. • A cold front has passed. • A blizzard has taken place. • A high-pressure system has stalled. Answer

  4. Fronts300 Which diagram shows a cold front? Answer

  5. Fronts400 Cumulonimbus clouds often form along cold fronts. Which type of weather is most likely to occur along a cold front? • Moderate temperature with mild breezes • Storms with hurricane winds • High temperatures with low winds • Rain with possible severe thunderstorms Answer

  6. Fronts500 What type of front does this represent? Answer

  7. Storms100 Explain how convection produces thunderstorms. Answer

  8. Storms200 • Hurricane Gustav, with winds of 250 km/h and a pressure of 941 mb, struck the west coast of Cuba in 2008. What category was hurricane Gustav? • 2 • 3 • 4 • 5 Answer

  9. Storms300 A severe thunderstorm, known as a super cell, forms. It begins in an area where cold, dry, polar air meets warm, moist, tropical air, and the atmosphere is unstable. The wind coming into this storm begins to swirl, creating an area of low pressure. What type of storm is likely to occur due to these conditions? Answer

  10. Storms400 What type of climate conditions do hurricanes need to become larger and more powerful? Answer

  11. Storms500 How could a tropical storm that forms off the west coast of Africa effect weather in the eastern part of North America? Answer

  12. Transfer of Energy100 True or False: Conduction is the heat energy transferred to earth from the sun. Answer

  13. Transfer of Energy200 Aaron observed a puddle in the middle of the soccer field. The next day Aaron saw the puddle had decreased in size. What happened to the evaporated water? Answer

  14. Transfer of Energy300 What is most likely occurring if the land temperature near the beach is rising more rapidly than the ocean temperature? Answer

  15. Transfer of Energy400 Which is most responsible for the uneven heating of the air in the atmosphere? • Radiation • Conduction • Convection • Condensation Answer

  16. Transfer of Energy500 A pot is heated on a stove. What process causes the metal handle on the pot to become hot? Answer

  17. Global Winds100 Besides the prevailing westerlies what else helps move weather across the United States? Answer

  18. Global Winds200 • Most warm and cold air masses that enter North Carolina are moved by global winds. Which global winds are responsible for most of the local weather in North Carolina? • northeast trade • southeast trade • polar easterlies • prevailing westerlies Answer

  19. Global Winds300 • Which best explains how the Coriolis Effect influences weather conditions? • It causes winds to rotate, forming tornadoes on Earth. • It causes winds to move to the right in the southern hemisphere. • It causes winds to turn to the right in the northern hemisphere. • It causes winds to follow a straight–line path around Earth. Answer

  20. Global Winds400 • Global winds blow in the directions shown on the map. Winds blowing from the east coast of the United States have the most effect on the weather in which of the following regions. • Africa • Asia • Europe • South America Answer

  21. Global Winds500 • The eastward movement of warm water in the Pacific Ocean during an El Nino event tends to cause which climatic effect? • Flooding on land masses in the western Pacific ocean • Heavy rainfall over land masses in the eastern Pacific ocean • Cold, windy conditions on land masses in the eastern pacific ocean • Frequent shallow tsunamis reaching land masses in the western pacific ocean Answer

  22. Clouds and Air Masses100 What must happen in order for clouds to form? Answer

  23. Clouds and Air Masses200 • In the centers of North America and Asia, large regions of land have relatively dry climates. This lack of rainfall results mainly from which factor? • The centers of these continents have too few lakes and rivers for effective evaporation. • The centers of these continents receive little heat from sunlight over most of the year. • The rate of air mass movement over the centers of these continents is relatively low. • The distance from oceans prevents moist air from reaching the centers of these continents. Answer

  24. Clouds and Air Masses300 Which of the following would classify the air mass that formed over the Gulf of Mexico? • Cold and moist • Warm and moist • Cold and dry • Warm and dry Answer

  25. Clouds and Air Masses400 When describing an air mass explain what polar continental means. Answer
