Question 1The symbol shown to the side represents what safety factor:

Glassware HazardEye/Face SafetyFire/heat Hazard

Question 33. The term S-L-G chart refers to solids, liquids, and gases. The process of moving from solid to liquid and then from liquid to gas:Melting, evaporating = subtract heatMelting, evaporating = add heatCondensing, freezing = subtract heat

Question 44. Energy from the sun travels to Earths surface by: radiation.convection.evaporation.

Question 66. The most abundant (largest percentage of) gas in the atmosphere is:NitrogenOxygen Helium

Question 7When layering liquids by density, we know that liquid soap (black with white spots) was most dense and that rubbing alcohol (totally white) was the least dense. Water -was more dense than vegetable oil . What would be the most likely result?

A. B. C.

Question 9Convection takes place because: Warm air is more dense than humid air.Warm and cold air have the same density.Cold air is less dense than warm air.Cold air is more dense than warm air.

FREE ANSWER = Choose CQuestion 10In the Egg in the Bottle lab, we were demonstrating the power of:Pressure differencesAltitudeTemperature differences

Question 11Altitude and Density are inversely related. That means:As altitude increases, density increasesAs altitude decreases, density increasesAs altitude increases, density does the same as before.

Question 12Winds are caused by differences in: precipitation.humidity.air pressure.

Question 13Sea breezes (blowing from the sea toward the land) occur during the day because: Lands heats up faster than water.Lands heats up slower than water.Land cools off slower than water.

Question 14Land breezes (blowing from the land out to the sea) occur at night because: Lands heats up faster than water.Lands heats up slower than water.Land cools off faster than water.

Question 15Clouds form when water vapor in the air: Falls to the ground.Is deposited as ice on the ground.Condenses into liquid water or ice crystals.

Question 16What condition is necessary for dew to form? Temperature remains above dew point.Low humidity in the air.Temperature falls below dew point. The suns energy is absorbed by the groundFREE ANSWER = Choose C

Question 17Very high, feather clouds are called: Stratus clouds.Cirrus clouds. Cumulonimbus clouds.

Question 18 If you see thick, layered clouds that are gray in color, what type of weather might you see: Drizzle, rain, or snow.Sunny, clear skies.Very warm temperatures.

Question 19When you walk barefoot on hot sand, heat is transferred to your feet from the sand by: ConductionRadiationEvaporation

Question 20Imagine that we tried to layer hot water (red), cold water (blue) and room temperature water (clear). Which picture would show the correct order of the successful layers? Hint: think of heat and density

A. B. C. D. FREE ANSWER = Choose B

Question 21Food coloring in hot water spreads out quickly, while food coloring in cold water does not. This happens because: hot water molecules move slower than cold water molecules.air pressure pushes on the hot water more than the cold water.the cold water freezes the food coloring.hot water molecules move faster than cold water molecules.

FREE ANSWER = Choose D

Question 22Only half of the Earths sunlight is absorbed by the ground because:some sunlight is reflected back into space by clouds.some sunlight is reflected back into the atmosphere by Earths surface.some sunlight is absorbed by gases in the atmosphere.all of the above.

FREE ANSWER = Choose D

Question 23You walk out in a black t-shirt on a hot day and start to feel warm. The shirt is being heated by ___________ and your body is being heated by _____________.convection, radiationradiation, conductionconduction, radiationconvection, conduction

Question 25Storms like hurricanes will curve based on the rotation of the earth and the effect that has on the wind. We call this the Sea breezeTrade windsHorse latitudesCoriolis effectFREE ANSWER = Choose D

Question 26Humans are protected from the ultraviolet rays of the sun by sunscreen lotions, but the earth has ozone in its atmosphere, too. The layer of the atmosphere where the ozone layer can be found is:ExosphereTroposphere Stratosphere

Question 27The main source of energy for the water cycle is The sunWaterElectricity

Question 28There is a difference in humidity between summer and winter because:hot air can hold more water vapor than cool air.you sweat more in the summer, so the air around you is more moist.cool air can hold more water vapor than hot air.You wear jackets in the winter, which prevent moisture from leaving your body.
