A B C 4 Rain Rain Rain Rain When rain formed in relatively warm air falls through a layer of freezing air, what occurs? A B C D 3 Date:_______________________________ Cumulus Cirrus Stratus A cloud of a class indicative of thunderstorm conditions, characterized by large, dense towers that may reach altitudes of 75,000 feet, uniform except for the tops, which appear fibrous because of the presence of ice crystals A B C D Cirrus Cumulonimbus Nimbus Altostratus NS2-M3C8 - Clouds and Fog (Exam) 7 Showery precipitation in the form of irregular pellets or balls of ice more than 1/5 inch in diameter A B C 8 Dew Snow Frost Fog Generally middle clouds can be observed at A B C D 11 Dew Rain Fog Water vapor that condenses on objects that have cooled below the condensation point of the air around it is known as A B C D 10 Sleet Hail Frost Moisture condensed from the atmosphere and deposited in the form of small drops upon any cool surface A B C 9 Page 2 3,000 to 5,000 feet 20,000 feet and above 1,000 to 3,000 feet 7,000 to 20,000 feet Great fog areas often occur off Newfoundland because the A B C D E colder air over the Gulf Stream meets the warm inshore currents moving eastward from the Gulf of St. Lawrence. warm air over Japanese Current meets the cold current from the Bering Sea. warm air over the Gulf Stream meets the colder inshore currents coming south from Greenland. All of the above are correct answers. None of the above are correct answers. NS2-M3C8 - Clouds and Fog (Exam) 12 Clouds are formed by A B C D 13 What are three steps in the atmospheric water cycle? A B C 14 Land is cooler than water Moisture rises from vegetation, meets cooler air and condenses There is no wind over the Island Hail usually occurs in the _________________. A B C D 17 Indicates that clear and cold weather can be forecast A low-lying cloud, near or touching the surface of the earth Formed by air saturation Why do clouds form above Islands? A B C 16 Evaporation, Transpiration, and Convection Evaporation, Condensation, and Precipitation Convection, Adiabatic, and Transpiration Which of the following statements best describes steam fog? A B C 15 moisture from frozen carbon dioxide. rising moisture from the earth that condenses when it meets cooler air aloft. ice crystal meeting silver iodide in the upper atmosphere. moisture droplets. summer spring winter fall Which of the following statements best describes steam fog? A B C D A low-lying cloud, near or touching the surface of the earth Formed by air saturation Usually lifts before noon, having been "burned" away by the sun Indicates that clear and cold weather can be forecast Page 3 NS2-M3C8 - Clouds and Fog (Exam) 18 Silver iodide crystals have been successfully used to A B C D 19 cause moisture-laden cirrus clouds to freeze into ice crystals. artificially seed clouds and cause rain to fall. convert cumulonimbus into cumulus clouds. lower cloud ceilings and cause rain to fall. Which of the following are NOT involved in the formation of clouds? A B C D 20 Page 4 Natural convection. Hygroscopic nuclei. Freezing layers of the atmosphere. Humidity. San Francisco is known for its thick fog because: A B C D E The warm water off the coast meets the cool air coming down from the mountains. The relatively moist air from the Pacific meets the cool water currents flowing from the north. The shape of the entrance to San Francisco Bay funnels the local clouds to the surface. All of the above are correct answers. None of the above are correct answers.
