TEST NAME: Weather Review 2 TEST ID: 1100746 GRADE: 05 Fifth Grade SUBJECT: Life and Physical Sciences TEST CATEGORY: My Classroom Weather Review 2 Page 1 of 13 Student: Class: Date: 1. What happens to the temperature when a warm air mass replaces a cold air mass? A. Temperature rises. B. Temperature drops. C. Temperature stays the same. D. Temperature will drop; then rise. 2. Which conditions will result in high winds? A. large differences in air pressure B. heavy rains over several days C. increase in evaporation rates D. presence of cirrus clouds 3. Which term best describes the type of wind which would most likely be present while playing on a sunny beach during the day? A. hurricane B. sea breeze C. land breeze 4. Land heats up faster during the day than water does. As the beach gets warm during the day, it heats the air above it. The warm air rises and cool air from the ocean is pulled in to replace it. So, air flows from the ocean to the land. At night, the land cools faster than the ocean. What most likely happens to the air at the beach at night? A. The air is still. B. The air moves along the coast. C. The air flows from the ocean to the land. D. The air flows from the land to the ocean. Weather Review 2 Page 2 of 13 5.
