What kind of weather front is likely to create clouds and storms?

58% Answer Correctly

cold front 

temperate front

2

Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from lowest to highest frequency?

63% Answer Correctly

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves

microwaves → radio waves → visible light


Solution

The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation.  From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.


3

Cirrus clouds generally occur in what kind of weather?

51% Answer Correctly

hot

stormy

freezing

fair


Solution

Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets. Cirrus clouds generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.


4
