...some of them thats great!? 1. In which geographic region are masses most often warm with a high moisture content?
1. Central Canada
2. Central Mexico
3. Gulf of Mexico
4. North Pacific Ocean
2. If the Earths tilt were to increase from 23 1/2 degrees to 33 1/2 degrees, the result would be
1. Shorter days and longer nights at the equator
2. less difference between winter and summer temp. in NYS
3. colder winters and warmer and summers in the Northern Hemisphere
4. an increase in the amount of solar radiation received by the earth
3. Surface ocean currents resulting from the prevailing winds over the oceans illustrate a transfer of energy from
1. lithosphere to atmosphere
2. hydrosphere to lithosphere
3. atmosphere to hydrosphere
4. stratosphere to troposphere
4. What is the name of the warm ocean current that flows along the east coast of the United States?
1. California Current
2. Florida Current
3. Labradora Current
4. North Pacific Current
5. Why would a stream in NYS have a lower stream discharge in late summer than in spring?
1. Potential evapotranspiration is less in late summer than in spring
2. Plants carry on transpiration in spring than in late summer
3. The local water budget shows a surplus in late summer
4. The local water budget shows a deficit in late summer
6. Soil with the greatest porosity has particles that are
1. poorly sorted and densely packed
2. poorly sorted and loosely packed
3. well sorted and densely packed
4. well sorted and loosely packed
7. Which factor has the most influence on the development of soil?
1. climate
2. longitude
3. amount of rounded sediment
4. slope of the landscape
8. The moon's cycle of phases can be observed from earth because the moon
1. is smaller than Earth
2. is tilted on it's axis
3. rotates on its axis
4. revolves around Earth
9. The curved paths of the planetary winds are a result of
1. changes in humidity
2. changes in temp.
3. Earth's rotation on its axis
4. Earth's gravitational force
10. All forms of electro magnetic energy have
1. transverse wave properties
2. the same temp.
3. the same wavelength
4. their own half-life
