A. Earth is widest near the Equator, so
this part spins faster than the poles.
B. the denser, cold water near the
poles rises, and warm water sinks
near the Equator.
C. the Equator receives more of the
Sun’s radiation than other parts of
Earth.
D. the amount of salinity is much less
at the Equator than the rest of Earth.
Which of the following best
explains what creates this
convection current?
D
During the evening, the land cools
off more quickly than the water, so
the air is different temperatures
A.
Magnetic attraction
B
Solar radiation
C
Electromagnetic waves
D
Severe thunderstorms

7. Based on the information
provided in the weather map,
which city shown most recently
experienced a drop in pressure,
and can expect a rise in
pressure over the next few
days?
A.
Atlanta
B.
Cleveland
C.
Los Angeles
D.
Omaha
8. Based on the
information provided,
which Texas city shown
will most likely have
winds from the south?
A.
Rockford
B.
Chicago
C.
Kankakee
D.
La Salle
9. Rain and even severe
thunderstorms are often
associated with the passage of
a cold front. Based on this
information, and that provided
in the weather map, which city
shown likely is the one to have
most recently experienced
rainy conditions?
A
Boise
B
Denver
C
Louisville
D
Shreveport

B
Oceans transfer energy from
the Sun.
B
Those regions have more
water evaporation.
A
near the Equator.
A
decreases in temperature.
?
C
the rotation of the Earth on its
axis.
16 Based on the information
provided in the weather map,
which city shown most
recently saw a rise in air
pressure?
A
Baltimore

Rapid City
17. A student heats salt water in a
beaker on a hot plate to model how
ocean currents are generated.
What is the most important way in
which this model fails to accurately
show how ocean currents are
generated?
A
Oceans have fresh, not salt water.
B
Oceans are heated from the top, not the
bottom.
C
Water in the ocean cannot move up and
down.
D
Ocean water is not contained within
something solid.
The air does not absorb the infrared radiation.
Only a tiny portion of water vapor and carbon
dioxide actually absorb it.
The visible light is absorbed by the earth’s
surface. The land and seas warm up coming in
contact with the air molecules gaining energy
by conduction.
The warm land and seas also reradiate energy.
This energy transfers through the air by
convection.
Sooooo…the atmosphere is actually not
heated from above- it’s heated from below!
19. What type of
climate
conditions are
likely in Costa
Rica?
A warm, humid
B cold, dry
C. High pressure systems
can occur on clear, dry days
as well as after cold fronts
pass through.
