Question 1: 10 points

What is a vortex?

The movement of a liquid or gas in a spiral around a central axis (calm center of air)

Question 1: 10 points

What is a vortex?

Question 2: 20 points

How do hurricanes form?

Question 2: 20 points

How do hurricanes form?

Warm, moist air evaporates over tropical waters, creating a low pressure system that is moved by trade winds and

the rotation of the earth.

Question 3: 30 pointsIn Inquiry 3.1 (soil, water, lamp),

how did you set up the lab to make sure it was a fair experiment?

Question 3: 30 pointsIn Inquiry 3.1 (soil, water, lamp), how

did you set up the lab to make sure it was a fair experiment?

Same amount of soil and water, same distance from the lamp

Question 4: 40 pointsLook at the graph: What was the temperature of soil after 5 minutes?

Question 4: 40 pointsLook at the graph: What was the temperature of soil after 5 minutes?

24.2°C

Question 5: 50 pointsDescribe how the water cycle

relates to cloud formation.

Question 5: 50 pointsDescribe how the water cycle

relates to cloud formation.The water on earth’s surface gains energy and

evaporates into a gas (water vapor). As it rises, it begins to lose energy and condenses into

liquid water. The condensed liquid water collects on dust particles in the air, forming a cloud

Question 1: 10 pointsWhat causes a vortex to form?

Question 1: 10 points

Uneven heating of the earth’s surfaces, the force of gravity, and the rotation of the earth.

What causes a vortex to form?

Question 2: 20 pointsHow are hurricanes and tornadoes alike?

Question 2: 20 pointsHow are hurricanes and tornadoes alike?

Both involve rotating winds, a vortex, and cause

catastrophic damage.

Question 3: 30 pointsIn Inquiry 3.1, which surface heated faster: soil or water?

Question 3: 30 pointsIn Inquiry 3.1, which surface heated faster: soil or water?

Soil heated faster

Question 4: 40 pointsWhat states make up

Tornado Alley?

Question 4: 40 pointsWhat states make up

Tornado Alley?

Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri

Question 5: 50 pointsHow do some deep ocean

currents form?

Question 5: 50 pointsHow do some deep ocean

currents form?They form from convection, which results from the

uneven heating of the earth. The water near the Equator is warmed by more direct sunlight, which causes it to rise and move towards the poles, where

it cools and sinks, flowing back towards the Equator.

Question 1: 10 pointsHow does air move above a heated (warm) surface?

Question 1: 10 pointsHow does air move above a heated (warm) surface?

Air becomes warm, less dense, and rises.

Question 2: 20 pointsHow are hurricanes and

tornadoes different?

Question 2: 20 pointsHow are hurricanes and

tornadoes different?

-Hurricanes form over water, tornadoes form over land.-Tornado winds: 350 km/h, Hurricane winds: 119-250 km/h-Hurricanes can last a week or longer-Hurricanes are huge storms, tornadoes are smaller and form from storms

Question 3: 30 pointsIn Inquiry 3.1, which surface held

its heat longer: soil or water?

Question 3: 30 pointsIn Inquiry 3.1, which surface held

its heat longer: soil or water?

Water held its heat longer

Question 4: 40 pointsWhy are there so many

tornadoes in Tornado Alley?

Question 4: 40 pointsWhy are there so many

tornadoes in Tornado Alley?

Cold, dry air from Canada meets warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico.

Question 5: 50 pointsHow do winds affect ocean water?

Question 5: 50 pointsHow do winds affect ocean water?

The direction that the winds blow determines the direction

of the surface currents.

Question 1: 10 pointsHow does air move

above a cool surface?

Question 1: 10 pointsHow does air move

above a cool surface?

Air becomes cool, more dense, and sinks.

Question 2: 20 pointsWhat role does the sun play in

the weather on the earth?

Question 2: 20 pointsWhat role does the sun play in

the weather on the earth?

The sun heats the earth unevenly. It is the uneven heating of the earth’s surface that causes

temperatures to change, wind to blow, storms to develop, and rain to fall.

Question 3: 30 pointsOn the 3.1 graph, what did the

soil curve look like? Why?

Question 3: 30 pointsOn the 3.1 graph, what did the

soil curve look like? Why?

Steep rise and steep fall. The soil heated very fast, and it lost its heat very fast.

Question 4: 40 points

When does a sea breeze occur?

Question 4: 40 points

When does a sea breeze occur?

Sea breezes form during the day when the air over the water is cool

Question 5: 50 pointsHow do ocean currents affect air temperatures around the world?

Question 5: 50 pointsHow do ocean currents affect air temperatures around the world?

Warm ocean currents from the Equator bring warm water and warm temperatures towards the poles, and cold water from the poles brings cooler

temperatures back towards the Equator.

Question 1: 10 pointsWhat happens when hot

air meets cold air?

Question 1: 10 pointsWhat happens when hot

air meets cold air?

Cold air sinks, warm air rises above it, causing unstable conditions, such as

thunderstorms that can produce tornadoes.

Question 2: 20 points

What is a convection current?

Question 2: 20 points

What is a convection current?

Circulating flow of air or water (fluids) resulting from temperature differences. It is a form of energy transfer in a fluid.

Question 3: 30 pointsOn the 3.1 graph, what did the water curve look like? Why?

Question 3: 30 pointsOn the 3.1 graph, what did the water curve look like? Why?

Not very steep rise, and almost no fall (flat line). The water heated slowly, but

it loses its heat very slowly.

Question 4: 40 pointsDescribe what happens

during a sea breeze?

Question 4: 40 pointsDescribe what happens

during a sea breeze?

The air over the warm land becomes warm, less dense, and rises. It moves over the cool water,

where it cools, becomes more dense, and sinks. It then moves back over land.

Question 5: 50 pointsWhat are some labs/activities that

showed convection and how did they show convection?

showed convection and how did they show convection?

Multiple examples. Make sure you write them down WITH an explanation
