  3. Convection $600 According to the chart, which object will float when placed in water? • Copper • Plastic • Wood • Rubber

  4. Convection $700 Convection is mainly caused by _ • Conduction • Radiation • Earth’s core • Induction

  5. Convection $800 Deep ocean currents are driven by melting Antarctic ice which causes_ • Conduction • Convection • Radiation • Precipitation

  6. Convection $900 In a convection current what rises? • Cold air because it is more dense • Cold air because it is less dense • Warm air because it is more dense • Warm air because it is less dense

  7. Convection $1000 As temperature of an object increases _ • Density decreases • Density increases • Mass increases • Mass decreases

  8. Air Pressure/Fronts $600 High pressure is typically associated with _ • Cool temperatures since it is less dense • Cool temperatures since it is more dense • Warm temperatures since it is less dense • Warm temperatures since it is more dense

  9. Air Pressure/Fronts $700 Which way are the winds blowing? • Northwest • Northeast • Southwest • Southeast

  10. Air Pressure/Fronts $800 What type of front is pictured below? • Warm front • Cold front • Stationary front • Occluded front

  11. Air Pressure/Fronts $900 Winds are caused by differences in __ • Humidity • Precipitation • Turbulence • Air pressure

  12. Air Pressure/Fronts $1000 What is it called when cold air takes over warm air? • Cold front • Warm front • High pressure • Low pressure

  13. Pictures $600 The position of the Earth relative to the sun’s rays in the diagram above shows that is ___ • Summer throughout the Northern Hemisphere • Daylight throughout the Northern Hemisphere • Summer throughout the Southern Hemisphere • Daylight through the Southern Hemisphere

  14. Pictures $700 The diagram shows the orbit of the moon around Earth. Between which two points will the moon appear to change from a full moon to a third quarter moon? • Q and R • R and S • S and T • T and Q

  15. Pictures $800 According to the map, where are thunderstorms most likely to occur? • In Seattle, because a cold front has moved through • In Chicago, because a cold front is approaching • In Boston, because a cold front is to the west of the city • In San Diego, because it is on the edge of a warm front

  16. Pictures $900 Which two positions bring higher than normal high tides? • Positions 1 and 2 • Positions 1 and 3 • Positions 2 and 3 • Positions 3 and 4 Non-Response Grid

  17. Pictures $1000 Which of the following will occur with low winter temperatures as the air mass moves from Canada to New York? • The northern air mass will mix with water vapor to form rain • The air mass will collide with water vapor, decreasing humidity • Water vapor will be removed from the air as it passes over the lake • Moisture collected from the lake may be released as snow over the cold land

  18. Weather Map $600 What does the symbol shown to the right tell you about the weather at City A? • Cloudy skies with strong winds from the northwest • Cloudy skies with strong winds from the southeast • Clear skies with strong winds from the northwest • Clear skies with strong winds from the southeast

  19. Weather Map $700 Which type of front is shown on the weather map? • Cold front moving southwestward • Cold front moving northeastward • Warm front moving southwestward • Warm front moving northeastward

  20. Weather Map $800 Using the isobars in the map to the right, what is a true statement about the difference between city Y and city X? • Temperatures are lower in city X • Air pressure is higher in city X • Humidity is lower in city Y • Elevation is lower in city Y Y X

  21. Weather Map $900 What will the weather be like for city X in a day? • Cold and rainy • Cold and sunny • Warm and rainy • Warm and sunny X Non-Response Grid

  22. Weather Map $1000 What is city X now experiencing? • Rainy weather • Sunny weather • Cloudy weather • Snowy weather X

  23. Ocean Currents $600 How is the east coast of Australia affected by surface currents? • Warmer because the surface current comes from the warm equator • Cooler because the surface current comes from the cool equator • Warmer because the surface current comes from the warm Poles • Cooler because the surface current comes from the cool Poles

  24. Ocean Currents $700 The Coriolis effect causes __ • Conduction • Earth to spin • Convection currents • Winds to curve

  25. Ocean Currents $800 Based directly on the information below, which city is most likely to experience the least amount of temperature change during the year? • City A • City B • City C • City D Non-Response Grid

  26. Ocean Currents $900 How is the west coast of North America affected by surface currents? • Warmer because the surface current comes from the warm equator • Cooler because the surface current comes from the cool equator • Warmer because the surface current comes from the warm Poles • Cooler because the surface current comes from the cool Poles

  27. Ocean Currents $1000 How do the oceans affect the global climate? • The ocean keeps the planet’s temperature cooler than it would otherwise be • The ocean keeps the planet’s overall temperature moderate, not too hot and not too cold • The ocean keeps the atmosphere’s winds faster than they would otherwise be • The ocean keeps the atmosphere’s winds slower than they would otherwise be

  28. Junk Drawer $600 Hurricanes form when warm ocean water and unstable winds collide, which forces wind upward causing • Warm currents • Cool currents • High pressure • Low pressure

  29. Junk Drawer $700 The phase of the moon you see depends on __ • Where you are on Earth’s surface • How much of the sunlit side of the moon faces the Earth • How much of the moon’s surface is lit by the sun • Whether or not there is an eclipse

  30. Junk Drawer $800 If there is a full moon tonight, what moon phase will we see two weeks from now? • New moon • Full moon • Last quarter • First quarter

  31. Junk Drawer $900 Which of the following is an indication of an advancing frontal boundary? • Temperature changes and cloud formation • Clear skies and few clouds • Stable temperatures and gentle breezes • Strong winds and low temperatures

  32. Junk Drawer $1000 What is the original source of energy that heats air and causes wind? • Earth’s gravity • Earth’s orbit • The moon • The sun
