Pictures$700
1. Q and R2. R and S 3. S and T 4. T and Q
According to the map, where are thunderstorms most likely to occur?
Pictures$800
1. In Seattle, because a cold front has moved through
2. In Chicago, because a cold front is approaching3. In Boston, because a cold front is to the west of
the city4. In San Diego, because it is on the edge of a warm
front

Which of the following will occur with low winter temperatures as the air mass moves from Canada to New York?
Pictures$1000
1. The northern air mass will mix with water vapor to form rain
2. The air mass will collide with water vapor, decreasing humidity
3. Water vapor will be removed from the air as it passes over the lake
4. Moisture collected from the lake may be released as snow over the cold land

How is the west coast of North America affected by surface currents?
Ocean Currents$900
1. Warmer because the surface current comes from the warm equator
2. Cooler because the surface current comes from the cool equator

How do the oceans affect the global climate?
Ocean Currents$1000
1. The ocean keeps the planet’s temperature cooler than it would otherwise be
2. The ocean keeps the planet’s overall temperature moderate, not too hot and not too cold
3. The ocean keeps the atmosphere’s winds faster than they would otherwise be
4. The ocean keeps the atmosphere’s winds slower than they would otherwise be
Hurricanes form when warm ocean water and unstable winds collide, which forces wind upward causing
