S1 Climate and Meteorology Module Exam Warning: There is a checkbox at the bottom of the exam form that you MUST check prior to submitting this exam. Failure to do so may cause your work to be lost. Top of Form THIS IS A TIMED EXAM! Click to see time remaining Question 1 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points) [CM.01] The diagram below shows three stages in the water cycle. Which statement is correct for the diagram? 1 represents transpiration and 2 represents evaporation. 1 represents evaporation and 2 represents transpiration. 1 represents precipitation and 2 represents infiltration. 1 represents evaporation and 2 represents precipitation. Question 2 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points) [CM.06] Two factors which cause global climate change are listed below. Factor 2 is a natural factor and Factor 1 is influenced only by human factors. Factor 1 is a natural factor and Factor 2 is influenced only by human factors. Factor 1 is a natural factor and Factor 2 may be influenced by both nature and human factors. Factor 1 is a human induced factor and Factor 2 may be influenced by both nature and human factors. Question 3 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points) [CM.06] The Gulf Stream moves heat towards the countries in the North Atlantic Ocean. How does this influence the climate in coastal regions of these countries? It causes drought. It prevents tornadoes. It reduces the amount of rainfall. It makes the weather warmer than expected. Question 4 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points) [CM.05] Hurricane Katrina formed in the Atlantic Ocean in 2005 and damaged property in Florida. What would people in Florida most likely do if a hurricane alert is sounded? They would stay indoors. They would rush towards low lying areas. They would switch off their electronic appliances. They would install heating arrangements in their houses. Question 5 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points) [CM.01] Which of these represents the condensation stage in the water cycle? rain snow rivers clouds Question 6 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points) [CM.03] Humans cut down trees in a location. This caused an increase in temperature and decrease in rainfall in that location. Which of these Earth systems interacted to produce this difference in climate? biosphere, cryosphere, and geosphere atmosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere biosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere cryosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere Question 7 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points) [CM.06] The tilt of the Earth’s axis of rotation changes from approximately 22.5° to 24.5° over a period of 41,000 years. This causes global climate change. When the tilt is small, there is less difference in gravitational pull in the middle and high latitudes less climatic variation between the summer and winter seasons in the middle and high latitudes greater difference in solar energy received at the Earth’s closest and farthest locations from the Sun greater difference in duration of days and nights at the Earth’s closest and farthest locations from the Sun Question 8 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points) [CM.04] The picture below shows the weather station model at a particular location. Which of these statements best describes the future weather condition at the location? There is 70 percent probability of rain showers. The temperature is most likely to be 64°F. There is 78 percent probability of thundershowers. The wind speed is most likely to be 64 knots. Question 9 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points) [CM.05] Which of the following does a weather station model demonstrate? altitude air mass air density temperature Question 10 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points) [CM.06] A volcanic eruption takes place under the ocean. Huge waves crash against the shores and destroy houses of people. Which Earth systems interact during this process? geosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere hydrosphere, geosphere, and biosphere atmosphere, geosphere, and cryosphere biosphere, cryosphere, and hydrosphere Question 11 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points) [CM.05] Four events in nature are described below. Event 2 may cause a flood and Event 3 may cause a drought. Event 3 may cause a cyclone and Event 4 may cause a flood. Event 4 may cause a drought and Event 1 may cause a cyclone. Event 1 may cause a cyclone and Event 2 may cause a drought. Question 12 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points) [CM.01] The table below shows the average annual precipitation over a period of five years in three locations of Florida. Locations Amount of precipitation 1 Between 45 to 65 inches 2 More than 96 inches 3 Less than 8 inches Which of these statements is most likely true for Location 3? It is the most populated location. It is very far away from the ocean. Its people would depend on rivers for water. Its people would leave and migrate to other locations. Question 13 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points) [CM.03] This picture shows the surface weather model at a particular location. What type of weather is most likely expected at the location? snowfall hurricane rain shower thunderstorm Question 14 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points) [CM.01] Which of these is a process during which the hydrosphere interacts with the geosphere? solidification of water into ice absorption of rainwater by soil evaporation of rainwater from puddles condensation of water vapor into water Question 15 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points) [CM.02] The diagram below shows the movement of energy in the water cycle. Which term best fits in the empty cell of the diagram? clouds runoff ocean precipitation Question 16 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points) [CM.01] Two states of matter present in the water cycle are described below. State 1 is solid and State 2 is gas. State 1 is liquid and State 2 is solid. State 1 is liquid and State 2 is gas. State 1 is solid and State 2 is plasma. Question 17 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points) [CM.01] In the water cycle, what state of matter is rain? solid gas plasma Question 18 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points) [CM.02] Which of these is an example of interactions between the atmosphere and geosphere? formation of snow erosion of soil due to wind destruction of houses by floods uprooting of trees during tornadoes Question 19 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points) [CM.06] A group of scientists believe that global warming is an irreversible process. Another group of scientists feel that human intervention can reverse the global warming process. Which of these is the most likely outcome of differences in opinions of scientists on the issue of global warming? All old ideas would be discarded. Scientific evidence would be weakened. New ideas would be created and tested. The limitations of science would be evident. Question 20 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points) [CM.06] Look at the position of Location 1, Location 2, and Location 3 in this picture. Which of these statements is most likely correct about the climate of the three locations? Location 3 is cooler than Location 1 and Location 2. Location 1 is cooler than Location 2 and Location 3. Location 2 is cooler than Location 3 and Location 1. Location 1, Location 2, and Location 3 are equally cool. Question 21 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points) [CM.05] Hurricanes are formed due to cooling of land warming of land cooling of oceans warming of oceans Question 22 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points) [CM.05] A student designed an experiment to demonstrate the interaction between Earth systems. The steps of the experiment are given below. · Take a pot full of dry soil. · Keep the pot in direct sunlight. · Do not water the soil for a week. · Observe cracks in the soil after a week. The student’s experiment demonstrates the interactions between the geosphere and hydrosphere during a tornado interactions between the atmosphere and geosphere during a drought interactions between the hydrosphere and atmosphere during a hurricane interactions between the hydrosphere and cryosphere during a thunderstorm Question 23 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points) [CM.02] All interactions between the atmosphere and geosphere involve soil and living things water and living things soil and gases or particles in air gases or particles in air and water Question 24 (Essay Worth 5 points) [CM.03] Increase of greenhouse gases, due to human activity, is warming the oceans. This causes changes in climate. Name three Earth spheres which interact in this process. Justify your answer.
