Which 2 spheres are interracting when rain hits the earth?

Which two spheres are interracting when rain is falling from a cloud?

Which two spheres are interracting when the Sun's radiation is heating the ground?

Which 3 spheres are interracting when the sand and air are heated by the sun and causes the wind to blow, pushing a bird away from the shore?

Which earth sphere is not typically experienced in Florida? Why?

Which layer of the atmosphere do humans live and weather occurs in?

Warm air rising is caused by what type of heat transfer?

a. Conduction

b. Convection

c. Radiation

A lizard sitting on a rock to warm itself is an example of what type of heat transfer?

What is the main advantage of having greenhouse gases AND the ozone layer within our atmosphere?

a.  Greenhouse gases allow for food to grow.  Ozone layer allows us to us air conditioning.

b.  Greenhouse gases trap heat to keep the Earth warm.  Ozone layer reflects heat so the Earth does not get too hot.

c.  Greenhouse gases allow heat to rise up so we have wind.  Ozone layer allows for glaciers to exist so we have global wind patterns.

The sun's rays do not hit the Earth evenly due to the Earth being tilted on its axis.  What is one effect that is caused by this uneven heating of the Earth?

a.  global covection currents of air move by air rising at the equator and sinking at the poles  

b.  sea breezes blow during the day and land breezes blow at night

c.  cold fronts move along the jet stream

What are very fast moving currents of air that travel from West to East, 7-10 miles above Earth's surface?

a. Jet Streams

b.  Coriolis effect

c.  Sea breeze

d. Land breeze

In what direction would winds travel if the Earth did not spin?

a.  in a curved pattern

b. in a straight line

c.  move from the north and south pole

Because the Earth rotates, it makes winds move in a circualr pattern. What is this effect called?

a.  Ozone layer

b.  Greenhouse effect

c.  Coriolis Effect

d.  Land breeze

The polar jet stream brings ____ air to the US and ____ air to Canada.

a.  Cold, Warm

b.  Cold, cold

c.  Warm, cold

d. Warm, warm

Wind moves from high pressure to low pressure areas.

What is the main cause of these pressure differences on the Earth?

a.  Heat from the core of the Earth

b.  Pressure from the layers of the atmosphere

c.  Uneven heating of the Earth 

d.  From the spinning of the spinning of the Earth.
