Ch.5 (test 1)

1. 1what are greenhouse gases?

   1. Agases that are emitted into the atmosphere and contribute to the greenhouse effect
   2. Bgases that emit infrared radiation
   3. Cgases that are absorbed and re-emit infrared radiation and contribute to the greenhouse effect
   4. Dgases that absorb radiation and contribute to the greenhouse effect
2. 2the most prevalent greenhouse gases are H2O and CO2

   1. AVerdadero
   2. BFalso
3. 3naturally occurring greenhouse effects are harmful to organisms

   1. AVerdadero
   2. BFalso
4. 4what are some naturally derived gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect?

   2. BN2O
   3. CO2
   4. DCH3
   5. ECH4
   6. FNaCl
   7. GO3
5. 5unnatural gases made by humans exist in high concentrations and absorb relatively more infrared radiation and persist in the atmosphere for a short time

   1. AVerdadero
   2. BFalso
6. 6what could cause an increase in the average temperature of Earth?

   1. Athe tilt of the Earth changed
   2. Bgreenhouse gases
   3. Cthe sun moved closer
7. 7a light-colored surface will have a higher what than a dark-colored surface?

   1. Agreenhouse effect
   2. Beffect on the rotation of the earth
   3. Calbedo
8. 8what causes air to be more dense near Earth's surface?

   1. Aalbedo
   2. Bthe gravitational pull on air molecules
   3. Cgreenhouse gases
9. 9air density is lower at higher elevations, so air temperature is lower

   1. AVerdadero
   2. BFalso
10. 10what is true about air between Hadley cells and polar cells ?

    1. Athey lack distinct convection currents
    2. Bthe region has stale air
    3. Cthe region can have dramatic fluctuations in wind direction, temperature, and precipitation
    4. Dwinds generally move from west to east

11. 11what determines the location of the ITCZ

    1. Athe lunar equator
    2. Bthe north star
    3. Cthe summer solstice
    4. Dthe solar equator
12. 12at what latitudes does air rise and drop moisture and when do they move back to Earth

    1. A50 degrees North and South, 30 degrees North and South
    2. B60 degrees North and South, 90 degrees North and South
    3. C45 degrees north 60 degrees South, 90 degrees North and South
    4. D60 degrees North and South, 80 degrees North and South
13. 13the speed of Earth's rotation also affects wind direction

    1. AVerdadero
