1. The ITCZ......
shifts around within the tropics
lies within the Ferrel Cell
lies within the Northern Hadley Cell
lies within the Southern Hadley Cell - ANSWER shifts around within the
tropics
2. The arid regions of the world lose their moisture to the surface winds of
the ____________________
polar cell
intertropical convergence zone
Hadley Cells
Saharan desert storms - ANSWER Hadley Cells
3. At the ITCZ, surface winds.....
rise, then cool to cause precipitation
rise, then warm to cause drought conditions
fall, then dry the mid-equatorial regions
,fall, then cool the mid-equatorial regions - ANSWER rise, then cool to cause
precipitation
4. Which of the following climate belts is not defined by the tilt parameters of
the Earth?
Polar
Temperate
Subtropics
Tropics - ANSWER Subtropics
5. Although "geographic climate belts" are primarily defined by latitude,
modern climate zone classifications, based on actual observations of
precipitation, temperature, etc. can differ significantly because of the
uneven redistribution of heat across the planet by ocean currents and air
circulation, as well as....(click all that apply).
city heat island effects
the presence of mountains
differing proximities to moisture sources such as the ocean
increased solar insolation at the poles due to loss of global ozone - ANSWER
the presence of mountains
differing proximities to moisture sources such as the ocean
6. Not surprisingly, the original basis for the Köppen-Geiger Climate
Classifications was rooted in......
measurements of moisture
,latitudinal position
plant distributions
direct average annual temperature measurements - ANSWER plant
distributions
During "El Niño" conditions of the Southern Oscillation, the following conditions
prevail.
Extremely hot sea surface temperatures in the Western Pacific and high rates of
deep water upwelling on the shores of South America
Extremely hot sea surface temperatures in the Western Pacific and complete lack
of deep-water upwelling on the shores of South America
Warm sea surface temperatures in the Western Pacific and steady deep-water
upwelling along the shores of South America
7. Warm sea surface temperatures in the equatorial Pacific and complete lack
of upwelling along the shores of South America - ANSWER Warm sea
surface temperatures in the equatorial Pacific and complete lack of
upwelling along the shores of South America
8. During "El Niño" conditions, average annual global temperatures are
typically....
higher
lower - ANSWER higher
, 9. During "El Niño" conditions, fisheries off the coast of South America
usually.....
thrive
decline - ANSWER decline
10. The internationally recognized boundary to space lies at 100km above sea
level. What is this boundary called?
the Mohorovicic Discontinuity
the Intertropical Convergence Zone
the tropopause
the Kármán Line - ANSWER the Kármán Line
11. How is the boundary to space, at 100km above sea level, defined?
above this altitude astronauts first experience weightlessness
99% of all atmospheric gas molecules are found below this altitude
this is roughly the maximum altitude at which a fixed-wing aircraft can fly without
having to go at orbital velocity
this boundary is completely arbitrary and was chosen because of the elegance of
having a 100km boundary - ANSWER this is roughly the maximum altitude at
which a fixed-wing aircraft can fly without having to go at orbital velocity
12. Travelers who cross the boundary to space are allowed to call
themselves....
astronauts
