Met 1010 Test 3 Studyguide Test 1 Answers 1 2 In the thermosphere the temperature can exceed 1800 degrees F yet a person s exposed hand might not feel hot primarily because a The density of the atmosphere is low so fewer molecules would collide with a persons hand In the very early stage of the earth s formation the earths atmosphere was composed chiefly of the gases a Hydrogen and helium 3 SKIP 4 An atmospheric gas whose concentration near the earth s surface varies significantly from one location to another is a Water vapor 5 Which latitude listed below would experience the fewest hours of daylight on 7 Most weather is confined to that subdivision of the atmosphere known as the 8 When it is January and winter in the N Hemisphere it is blank and Blank December 22 a 60 degrees north 6 Water vapor is a An invisible gas a Troposphere in the S Hemisphere a January and Summer 9 Convection takes place in a Liquids or gases a More dense than a Radiation 10 In the equal volumes cold air is blank warm air 11 Which of the following energy transfer process can take place in a vacuum 12 In response to the same input of heat which one of the following substances 13 One thousand calories of heat are added to 500 grams of liquid water The 14 During the course of the year the sun will first disappear from the view for exhibits the smallest rise in temperature a Increased by 2 degrees celcius temperature of the water a Increased by 2 degrees celcius the entire day at the south pole on what date 15 The ultimate source of solar radiation is a March 21 a Nuclear fission emits the shortest electromagnetic wave a The sun 16 According to Wien displacement law which one of the following objects radiation a Infrared a Clear approximately a 50 called a Sublimation 17 The earths surface and atmosphere predominantly emit what type of 18 At night air temperature tends to be lower when the sky is 19 At 0 degrees C 32 degrees F the heat of vaporization of water is about a 600 calories per gram 20 The fraction of the sun s energy absorbed by the earth s surface is 21 The term Meteorology actually dates back to a The time of Aristotle 22 Frozen clothes hanging on a line in subfreezing weather dry by a process a The dry columns a Evaporation a Stratosphere 23 Suppose two identical air columns have the same temperature and the same number of air molecules inside If one column is saturated with water vapor and the other is completely dry then the air is greatest in 24 When water changes from a liquid to a vapor we call this process 25 The layer of the atmosphere which is characterized by inversion everywhere 26 The albedo of the moon is 7 this means that a 7 of the sunlight that strikes the moon is reflected 27 If the average temperature of the sun increased the wavelength of maximum solar emission would a Shift to a shorter wavelength 28 Heat transferred upward from the surface of the moon can take place by 29 During the summer in the N Hemisphere the length of the day blank the a Radiation length of the night a Is longer than 30 We have seasons because a The earth s axis of orbit is tilted with respect to the plane of its orbit 31 Low clouds retard slow down reduce surface cooling at night better than skies because a The clouds absorb and radiate infrared energy back to earth 32 If very cold air is brought indoors and warmed with no change in its moisture content the relative humidity of this air will a Decrease 33 The cooling of the ground to produce dew is mainly the result of a Radiational cooling 34 Relative humidity is times 100 a The ratio of the amt of water vapor in the air to what the air can hold 35 The equilibrium vapor pressure over an ice crystal is blank the equilibrium vapor pressure over a cloud drop a Less than 36 The order of the layers of atmosphere from lowest to highest are a Troposphere stratosphere mesosphere thermosphere 37 How many calories are required to change two grams of ice at 0 degrees C to vapor at 30 degrees C a None of the above 38 Skip 39 How does blue and red light differ a The wavelength of red light is longer 40 When the relative humidity is 100 a The vapor pressure equals the saturation vapor pressure and the air has as much moisture in it as it can hold 41 What time of the day is relative humidity the highest a Just before dawn 42 Relative humidity can be defined as a The amt of moisture in the air divided by the amt of moisture the air can hold times 100 and the actual vapor pressure divided by the saturation vapor pressure times 100 43 If you add 82 calories to 2 grams of ice that is 2 degrees C you end up with a 1 gram of ice at 0 degrees and 1 gram of water at 0 degrees a On the way through the atmosphere all the shorter wavelengths are 44 Sunsets appear red because scattered out of the beam 45 The sky is blue because a Of the electrical size of air molecules make it such that the scattering is described as Rayleigh scattering after Lord Raleigh who determined that when the electrical size was very small that the shorter the wavelength would scatter more and that the degree of scattering should be described as proportional to 1 over the wavelength to the 4th power a A state where there is no net change in status quo For example it 46 Equilibrium is equals out 47 A radar can tell you a How hard it is raining and where a storm is moving 48 Skip 49 A layer of the atmosphere where the molecules are sorted by their mass with the heaviest on the bottom is called the a Heterosphere 50 Electrical size is a The ratio of the scatterer s circumference to wavelength of the illuminating radiation Test 2 Answers 1 8 is cloud identification a Cumulonimbus a Cirrocumulus 9 The cloud with the greatest vertical growth is 10 Which cloud is least likely to produce precipitation that reaches the ground 11 Detatched clouds of delicate wispy and fibrous appearance without shading usually white in color and sometimes of a silky appearance 12 Secondary rainbows occur when a two internal reflections of light occur in rainbows 13 The color that is refracted the most as sunlight enters a raindrop is a Cirrus a blue 14 Clouds in the tropics tend to move from east to west consequently which rhyme best describes a rainbow seen in the tropics a Rainbow in at the break of dawn rain is surely gone 15 Halos are caused by a Refraction of light through ice crystals 16 The blue of the sky is …
