What type of cloud is responsible for fog?
cumulonimbus |
|
stratus |
|
cumulus |
|
cirrus |
Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.
As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air __________ the lighter warm air that it is replacing.
pushes above |
|
pushes under |
|
mixes with |
|
cancels out |
A cold front is a warm-cold air boundary with the colder air replacing the warmer. As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air pushes under the lighter warm air that it is replacing. The warm air becomes cooler as it rises and, if the rising air is humid enough, the water vapor it contains will condense into clouds and precipitation may fall.
Water coming to a boil on a stove, ice melting, and steam from a cup of coffee are all examples of which of the following?
reflection |
|
convection |
|
conduction |
|
radiation |
Convection is the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas.
Respiration is the process by which __________ absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.
diaphragms |
|
capillaries |
|
blood cells |
|
bronchioles |
The respiratory system manages respiration which is the process by which blood cells absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.
Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. Velocity and displacement are which of the following?
vector quantities |
|
combinational quantities |
|
composite quantities |
|
scalar quantities |
Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only. A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol: \(\vec{v}\)
