Question 1

1. Hot air balloons are able to go up because

1. the fire makes the air hot and hot air sinks because it has more kinetic energy.

2. the fire makes the air cold and cold air rises because it has more potential energy.

3. the fire makes the air hot and hot air rises because it has more kinetic energy.

Question 2

As you go higher into the troposphere, the temperature

decreases and it gets hotter

decreases and it gets cooler

increases and it get hotter

increases and it gets cooler

Question 3

What is the effect of high temperature on the amount of rainfall?

Hot weather causes less evaporation and makes the air parcel move lower into colder troposphere for less condensation and more rain.

Hot weather causes more evaporation and makes the air parcel move higher into colder troposphere for more condensation and more rain.

Hot temperature causes more evaporation and makes the air parcel move higher into colder troposphere for less condensation and less rain.

Question 4

The fire in the hot air balloon make it go up because

The fire increases the temperature of the air inside the baloon to make it rise or go up. 

The fire decreases the temperature of the air inside the baloon to make it rise or go up.

The fire decreases the temperature of the air inside the baloon to make it come lower

Question 5

As the air parcel move higher into the troposphere, how does it affect the condensation, cloud formation, and the amount of rain?

1. the amount of condensation increases forming more cloud, and more rain

2. the amount of condensation increases forming less cloud, and less rain

3. the amount of condensation decreases forming more cloud, and more rain

4. the amount of condensation decreases forming less cloud, and less rain

Question 6

Warmer weather causes more severe rainstorm. As an air parcel rises, energy transfers from the

1. warm air parcel to the cold surrounding air until their temperatures become equal.

2. cool air parcel to the warm surrounding air until their temperatures become equal.

3. warm air parcel to the warm surrounding air until their temperatures become equal.

4. cool air parcel to the cooler surrounding air until their temperatures become equal.

Question 7

As temperature increases, the rate of evaporation increases. When an air parcel starts with a higher temperature,

1. it will rise higher and gain more energy, causing less rainfall.

2. it will rise higher and lose more energy, causing more rainfall.

3. it will rise higher into he troposphere and gain more energy, causing less rainfall.

4. it will spread towards Earth surface and gain more energy, causing more rainfall.

Question 8

How does temperature affect the level of air parcel rising up?

The cooler the temperature of the air parcel the higher it will rise up.

The higher the temperature of the air parcel the higher it will rise up.

The higher the temperature of the air parcel the lower it will rise up.

The cooler the temperature of the air parcel the lower it will rise up.

Question 9

As you move away from the Earth’s surface into space,

1. it gets hotter because there is lots of energy transfered from the surface to reach high into space.

2. it gets colder because there is not enough energy transfer from the surface to reach high into space.

it gets hotter because there is lots of energy transfer from space to the surface.

Question 10

10.

If an air parcel is warmer than the surrounding air,

1. it will rise. 

2. it will go down

3. it will sink

Question 11

11.

The layer of the atmosphere closest to Earth, where weather happens is called

1. top layer

2. stratosphere

3. troposphere 

Question 12

12.

Explain how warmer weather causes more rain. Use all these vocabulary words: temperature, evaporation, air parcel, troposphere, energy transfer, condensation, amount of rain.
