4. What is dew point?
Dew
Point=
100%
Relative Humidity is the
amount of water vapor
in the air at any given
time. 100% relative
humidity means Dew
Point. It will or it is
already raining.
5. What is the relative
humidity based on the
chart on the left?
Steps in Finding the Relative Humidity
Step 1: Dry bulb temperature – Wet bulb
temperature= ______
Step 2: Find this number at the top of the chart and
place your finger on it.
Step 3: Find the dry-bulb temperature in the first
column on the left.
Step 4: The relative humidity is where column and row
intersect on the chart.

13. What causes tides?
Tides are the rise and fall of sea
levels caused by the combined
effects of the gravitational forces
exerted by the Moon and the
Sun.
14. Which has more influence on earth’s tides?
Neap Tide
Tidal bulge appear on opposite side because
the earth and the moon orbit each other
Spring Tide is higher high tide
15. How are Weather and Climate
different?

Both weather
and climate
deal with the
condition of
the
atmosphere.

16. Where do polar and tropical air masses come from?
Cold region because of its nearness to
the North pole.
Warm or hot region because of its
nearness to the equator.
17. What kind of front forms cumulonimbus clouds?
produces less violent weather (light to
moderate continuous rain
are associated with thunderstorms
and most violent weather
Raining for many days, flooding
these fronts are often characterized
by storms that are dissipating
(disperse).
18. What is the Soil Triangle?
A soil texture
triangle is
used to
classify the
texture class
of a soil.
19. A soil with 30% clay, 50% sand, and 20%
sandy clay loam .
silt is called a ________________
SILT
CLAY
SAND
20. What are the
components of soil?
Organic matter or humus, water,
oxygen, and inorganic rock material
21. What is soil texture?
Measure of volume proportion
of sand, silt , and clay.
22. What is soil porosity?
Water holding capacity of the
soil.
23. What is soil
permeability?
The rate at which water pass
through the soil.
24. Which has higher
permeability sand or clay?
Sand has higher
permeability than clay.
25. What is loam?
Loam is the type of soil best
for growing plants.
26. Why does the moon has
more influence on earth’s tides
than the Sun?
The moon has more influence to
the tides than the Sun because of
its proximity or nearness.
27. Which is the foot wall and
which is the hanging wall?
A is the
_______wall

Epicenter is directly above the focus.
31. What is Kepler’s 1st law?
st
1
Kepler’s law – orbits
of planets are elliptical.
32. Kepler's second law- the line joining the Sun and
planet sweeps out equal areas in equal times, so the
planet moves faster when it is nearer the Sun.
