Hello Any help with a few multiple choice questions and true or false questions would be awesome!
Multiple Choice..
1. If air circulation was due entirely to solar heating, air would rise at the equator and flow non-stop toward the poles until it sank. However, other patterns of global air circulation are observed due to
outside forces produced by ocean currents
the inertial force produced by Earth's spin on its axis
variations in an area's proximity to oceans
local variations in topography
2. Why is heat transfer by conduction limited to the area very near Earth's surface?
the ground stays warmer than the air
the atmosphere is thicker there
little solar radiation reaches all the way to the surface
air is a poor conductor of heat energy
3. Which of the following statements is true about wind?
Wind flows from areas of high pressure to low pressure.
Wind is most common in the Northern Hemisphere.
Wind only blows from the equator to the poles.
Wind can affect temperature but is not itself influenced by temperature.
4. .
Which of the following dominates wind movement at the poles?
trade winds
Westerlies
Easterlies
both b and c
5.How is wind deflected in the Northern Hemisphere?
southwestward
southeastward
northwestward
northeastward
True or False!
Convection in the atmosphere is the process whereby air masses rise and fall, distributing heat and moisture over the planet.
True
False
A high pressure system is formed when an air mass cools over a cool surface and sinks.
True
False
