Answer:How does wet soil differ from dry soil in its ability to absorb heat?(1 point)
• Wet soil absorbs heat more slowly, due to water's low evaporation point.
• Wet soil absorbs heat more quickly, due to water's high heat capacity.
• Wet soil absorbs heat more slowly, due to water's high heat capacity.
• Wet soil absorbs heat more quickly, due to water's low evaporation point.
Which of these changes Earth’s climate mainly over time spans of millions of years?(1 point)
• plate tectonics ****
• human interactions
• ocean currents
• volcanic eruption
How does Earth’s tilt affect climate?(1 point)
• It causes days to be warmer and nights to be cooler.
• It produces uneven heating of Earth’s surface by the sun.****
• It causes some areas to be closer to the sun and others farther away.
• It produces winds that have a cooling effect in areas close to the poles.
When a weather forecaster predicts a "low-pressure system" will pass through the area, what type of weather should be expected? (1 point)
• sunny, fair weather
• much colder weather
• a severe storm such as a hurricane
• clouds and possible precipitation****
A weather model applies mathematical equations to(1 point)
• each place on Earth weather data have been collected.
• the average weather conditions in an area.
• each grid point on a three-dimensional grid. ****
• the temperature in a location every 30 minutes.
Which of the following is true of the surface water and deep water of the ocean? (1 point)
• There is little vertical mixing between layers because currents only flow sideways.
• There is constant vertical mixing between layers because the warm water is atop the colder water.
• There is constant vertical mixing as freshwater evaporates and the salty surface water that remains sinks.
• There is little vertical mixing between layers because the warm water is atop the colder water.****
On what are weather models based?(1 point)
• physics that describes how air moves and heat and moisture are exchanged****
• physical science that describes how water changes state in the atmosphere
• chemistry that describes how the different materials in the atmosphere interact
• astronomy that describes how Earth's atmosphere changes
Why is the average annual high temperature in Cape Hatteras, NC higher than the average annual high temperature in Monterey, CA?(2 points)
• A warm water deep current flows along the east coast of the United States and a cold water deep current flows along the west coast of the United States.
• A warm water surface current flows along the east coast of the United States and a cold water surface current flows along the west coast of the United States.****
• A cold water surface current flows along the east coast of the United States and a warm water surface current flows along the west coast of the United States.
• A cold water deep current flows along the east coast of the United States and a warm water deep current flows along the west coast of the United States.
