3. Which describes the process of conduction? $100 Heat energy is transferred from the land to the air by direct contact. Heat energy is transferred by mass movements of air. Heat energy is transferred from the land to the air by indirect contact. Heat energy is transferred by sunlight.

4. The class says: $100 The answer is: A. Heat energy is transferred from the land to the air by direct contact.

5. Which is caused by uneven heating of the earth’s surface? $200 Deflection of the winds to the left in the Northern Hemisphere Hadley convection cells in the atmosphere Deflection of the winds to the right in the Northern Hemisphere Deflection of the winds to the right in the Southern Hemisphere

6. The class says: $200 The answer is: B. Hadley convection cells in the atmosphere

7. $250 Which air masses would have warm, moist air? Maritime polar Continental tropical Continental polar Maritime tropical

8. The class says: $250 The answer is: D. Maritime tropical

9. Why is the Earth’s surface warmer than the surface of other planets, like Mars? $300 The Earth’s rotation transfers energy more evenly The Earth’s atmosphere traps heat The Earth’s surface receives less energy from the sun’s rays. The Earth’s atmosphere releases heat.

10. The class says: $300 The answer is: B. The Earth’s atmosphere traps heat.

11. Which explains why Hawaii has a steady warm, moist climate? $100 Hawaiian volcanoes provide a steady source of heat for the islands. The high heat capacity of the surrounding water absorbs or releases heat energy. Several warm water ocean currents bring warm water to the islands. Hawaii is located in the tropics.

12. The class says: $100 The answer is: B. The high heat capacity of the surrounding water absorbs or releases heat energy.

13. Why is California warm and moderately humid but Nevada is hot and dry? $200 As air moves west over California’s mountains, it gains moisture. The two states are at different latitudes. The two states are at the same latitude. As air moves east over California’s mountains, it loses its moisture.

14. The class says: $200 The answer is: D. As air moves east over California’s mountains, it loses its moisture.

15. $100 What climate zone includes most of South America? Tropical Polar Temperate Arctic

16. The class says: $100 The answer is: A. Tropical

17. Which air pressure system is generally associated with cool, dry air? $400 High pressure No pressure Low pressure Changing pressure

18. The class says: $400 The answer is: A. High pressure

19. A low-pressure system is usually associated with which type of weather? $100 Thin clouds Stormy weather Low humidity Clear skies

20. The class says: $100 The answer is: B. Stormy weather

21. Examine the weather map and locate this symbol. Which is likely to occur in these areas? $200 Thunderstorms Hail Drizzly rain Tornadoes

22. The class says: $200 The answer is: C. Drizzly rain

23. Examine the weather map and locate this symbol. Which is likely to occur in these areas? L $200 High winds Precipitation Clear skies Heat and humidity

24. The class says: $200 The answer is: B. Precipitation
