NS2-M3C7 - Our Atmosphere (Exam) Page 1 Name:______________________________ Date:_______________________________ 1 Put the atmospheric layers in order of closest to furthest from the earth. (Input the answers in the correct sequence, then push the ENTER button.) A B C D 2 Mesosphere Thermosphere Troposphere Stratosphere Read the following and decide which of the options is correct.(Input all that apply, then push the ENTER button.) The tropopause is a transitional zone between the troposphere and the near void of the exosphere. It starts just above the troposphere and is divided into three overlapping areas: tropical, extra-tropical, and frigid. A B C D 3 Mesosphere Stratosphere Thermosphere Exosphere The gaseous envelope surrounding the Earth A B C D 5 “frigid” to “arctic” “exosphere” to “stratosphere” “troposphere” to “ionosphere” “troposphere” to “ozone” Which layers occur in the ionosphere? (Input all that apply, then push the ENTER button.) A B C D 4 Change Change Change Change Troposphere Tropopause Stratosphere Atmosphere Strong, generally westerly winds concentrated in a relatively narrow and shallow stream in the upper troposphere of the Earth A B C D Air Mass Chemosphere Mesosphere Jet Stream NS2-M3C7 - Our Atmosphere (Exam) 6 Why does it take bodies of water, such as an ocean, slower to warm up than land masses? A B C D E 7 D E increases; decreases decreases; stays the same stays the same; increases decreases; increases The phenomenon whereby the Earth's atmosphere traps solar radiation, caused by the presence in the atmosphere of gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane that allows incoming sunlight to pass through but absorb heat radiated back from the Earth's surface. A B C D 10 Cold air is heavier than warm air. Warm air can hold more water vapor than cold air. As air moves, wind is created. This is beginning of complex forces that cause the changing weather. They are all correct. None are correct. Since warm air can hold more moisture than cold air, relative humidity ____ when air with a given amount of water vapor cools, and _----_____ when that air is heated. A B C D 9 Only a few inches of land will absorb radiation. Land has more density at all depths. Only the surface of water has kinetic energy. Water does not condense until depths in excess of 80 feet. None of the above Which of the following is a true statement? A B C 8 Page 2 Global Warning Greenhouse Effect Fahrenheit Geological Compression Increase in CO2 levels has resulted in an effect that has caused the average temperature to rise to historically high levels everywhere on Earth A B C D E Greenhouse Effect Geological Fusion Global Warming Global Steeping None of the above NS2-M3C7 - Our Atmosphere (Exam) 11 Why is the air circulation in the troposphere important? A B C D 12 When warm and cold air masses come together, the boundary between them is call a _____________. A B C D 13 troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere stratosphere, troposphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere mesosphere, troposphere, stratosphere, thermosphere and exosphere Which of the following was a factor that allowed frontal forecasting to become highly developed? A B C 16 stays the same increases decreases The five principal layers of the atmosphere arranged from lowest to highest are A B C 15 Stationary front Front Thermal front Weather front The relative humidity of an air mass ___________ as that air mass cools. A B C 14 Pilots favor this level for flying. Extremely high and deadly temperatures exist in this level. Troposphere is the end of our air ocean; beyond it is outer space. Determines the weather. Synoptic meteorology Weather observation Aviation advancement A cubic foot of water at the ocean's surface weighs about the same as a cubic foot from the bottom of the Marianas Trench because A B C D Water at the bottom has a greater density than water at the surface Water at the surface has a greater density than water at the bottom Water is nearly incompresible chemical makeup is the same Page 3 NS2-M3C7 - Our Atmosphere (Exam) 17 In a process called "transpiration", huge amounts of water enter the air from A B C D 18 An air mass is a large body of air with? A B C D E 19 the same temperature and pressure the same temperature and humidity the same humidity and pressure all of the above none of the above Weather is the condition of the atmosphere expressed in terms of A B C D 20 green leaves of plants evaporation photosynthesis the melting of both polar ice caps air's temperature, pressure, and water vapor content. heat, pressure, cold and wind. cold air, warm air, pressure, and water vapor content. heat, pressure, wind, and moisture. What is the formula for changing degrees in Fahrenheit to degrees in Celsius? A B C D Celsius Celsius Celsius Celsius =5/9 [F/ 32] =9/5 [32-F] =5/9 [F-32] =9/5F [-32+F] Page 4 NS2-M3C7 - Our Atmosphere (Exam) Answer Key: NS2-M3C7 - Our Atmosphere (Exam) Question: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 Answer CDAB AB AC D D A D A B C D B B A C C A B D C Page 5
