1. How much of the radiation from the sun reaches Earth’s surface?

50%
25%
70%
100%

2.
Which method of heat transfer is responsible for a person burning their hand on a stove?

convection
conduction
radiation
thermal energy

3.
Why is noon not the hottest part of the day if the sun is directly overhead?

The ground absorbs the solar radiation and releases it throughout the later afternoon.

The solar radiation is more direct at later times in the day.

The cloud cover at noon prevents solar radiation from reaching Earth’s surface.

The ground continues to absorb radiation until the sun goes down and releases it all at night.

4.

transpiration
evaporation
condensation
precipitation

5.
Identify the method of heat transfer responsible for warm air masses rising, then cooling and condensing.

convection
radiation
thermal energy
conduction

6.
Identify the type of cloud that is associated with thunderstorms, hail, heavy rains, lightning, and tornadoes.

cirrostratus
cumulonimbus
altostratus
stratocumulus

Earth’s albedo determines which of the following properties?

reflectivity of Earth’s atmosphere
reflectivity of Earth’s surface
amount of solar radiation that passes through the atmosphere
amount of heat absorbed by clouds

8.
What is the relationship between temperature and air pressure?

As temperature increases, air pressure increases.
As temperature increases, air pressure decreases.
There is no relationship between temperature and air pressure.
As temperature decreases, air pressure decreases.

9.
Identify the layer of the atmosphere that protects Earth from meteors.

troposphere
stratosphere
thermosphere
mesosphere

10.
What factors affect global winds?

jet streams, Hadley cells, and trade winds
Hadley cells, pressure belts, and the Coriolis effect
convection cells, pressure belts, and the Coriolis effect

11.
Which method of heat transfer do you experience when you put your hands near a fire and feel the warmth?

thermal energy
convection
radiation
conduction

12.
Which of the following choices is not a particulate that is found in the atmosphere?

water vapor
pollen
dirt
ash

13.
Which phenomenon is responsible for the blue color of the sky?

scattering
albedo
absorption
radiation

14.
Which layer of the atmosphere is the hottest layer?

thermosphere
troposphere
stratosphere
mesosphere

15.
Answer the question below.

Compare and contrast the four main types of clouds and the weather they indicate. Use details to support your answer.

16.
Which phenomena causes Earth’s winds to deflect as they move around the globe?
the Coriolis effect

the tradewinds
the greenhouse effect
uneven solar heating

17.
Which factor does not affect the amount of solar radiation that an area receives?

the location’s latitude
the time of year
the cloud cover in the area
the sun’s temperature

18.
Which type of cloud is associated with fair weather and appears long and wispy?

cumulus
stratus
alto
cirrus

19.
The rise of oxygen in the atmosphere allowed which of the following to form?

iron ores in the crust
cyanobacteria
UV radiation
the ozone layer

20.
Answer the question below.

Explain how global winds are created. Use details to support your answer.

21.
Which gas makes up the largest percentage of the atmosphere?

oxygen
methane
water vapor
nitrogen

22.
Identify the hypothesis that early life arose from organic compounds forming in the atmosphere because of the combination of gases present and lightning.

the Miller-Urey hypothesis
the Oparin-Urey hypothesis
the meteorite hypothesis
the Oparin-Haldane hypothesis

23.
Which example below would not be found on primitive Earth?

volcanoes
lightning storms
ammonia gas
oxygen gas

24.
Which type of cloud indicates that rain, snow, or thunderstorms are on the way?

cirrus
stratus
alto
cumulus

25.
How is absolute humidity measured?

It determines the mass of oxygen in a volume of air.
It determines the mass of water in a volume of air.
It determines the ratio of water in a volume of air to the total amount that the volume of air can hold.
It determines the percent of water vapor in the air.

13) scattering

14) thermosphere

15) The different types of clouds are:

cumulus: Cumulus clouds are clouds which have flat bases and are often described as "puffy", "cotton-like" or "fluffy" in appearance. Their name derives from the Latin cumulo-, meaning heap or pile.

cirrus: Cirrus is a genus of atmospheric cloud generally characterized by thin, wispy strands, that typically appear white or light grey. The name is derived from the Latin word cirrus, meaning 'ringlet' or 'curling lock of hair'. Such a cloud can form at any altitude between 5,000 and 13,700 m above sea level.

stratus: Stratus clouds are low-level clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a uniform base, as opposed to convective or cumuliform clouds that are formed by rising thermals.

nimbus: Nimbostratus clouds are dark, grey, featureless layers of cloud, thick enough to block out the Sun and produce persistent rain. Height of base: 2,000 - 10,000 ft. Shape: Bands or areas of individual cells. Latin: nimbus - rainy cloud; stratus - flattened or spread out. Precipitation: Continuous rain or snow likely.

16) the tradewinds

17) the location’s latitude

18) Cirrus clouds

19) the ozone layer

20) Global winds are created by both the spin of

the Earth (Coriolis effect) and the differences

in temperature between the equator and

the polar areas. These winds are often

grouped together as trade winds, easterlies,

and westerlies.

21) nitrogen

22) the Miller-Urey hypothesis

the Oparin-Haldane hypothesis

23) ammonia gas

24) cumulus

25) It determines the mass of water in a volume of air

Answer from: Quest

the electronic configuration of an atom with eight electrons is 1s²2s²2p⁴. the orbital diagrams are shown in the figure.

as per the hunds rule:

1. electrons tend to avoid being in the same orbital as per as practicable.

2. electrons in different orbitals of the same energy will have their spin parallel.

this can be illustrated from the multiplicity of the orbitals of the atom. as there are four electrons in the p orbital and p orbital has 3 sub-shells. the electrons can be fed in different ways as shown in the figure but the correct orbital diagram will be as per the hunds rule.

Answer from: Quest

it is the most commonly accepted one
