Which statement is false? Select one: a. the eyewall of a hurricane has a large pressure gradient b. the vertical pressure gradient is balanced by gravity c. wind always moves from a region of higher air pressure to a region of lower air pressure d. atmospheric pressure is highest over land e. average sea level pressure is 1013.25 mb, 14.7 psi, and 29.93 in Hg. Identify which statement is false about water. Select one: a. ice crystals are hexagonal b. water vapor is invisible to the naked eye c. the largest reservoir of water on Earth is stored in Earth's crust and mantle. d. some locations on Earth do not receive rain in any given year while other locations receive over 500 inches per year. e. ice is more dense than liquid water Which of the following is an example of evaporative cooling? Select one: a. standing in a breeze after getting out a pool in summer b. droplets of water condensing on the side of a cold drink on a hot and humid day c. fog forming on the mirror in a bathroom d. cumulus clouds forming on a hot summer afternoonExplanation / Answer
1. in the first question these statements are true-
a) the eyewall of a hurricane has a larger pressure gradient- eyewall is the part of hurricane in which speed of the wind is highest and also having larger pressure gradient
b) vertical pressure gradient is balanced by gravity- vertical pressure gradient is decreases by altitude.
c) wind always moves from a region of higher air pressure to a region of lower air pressure- in a lower pressure zone wind uplifted from the land because warm air have a less weight than cool air. so cool air from the higher pressure zone comes to lower pressure zone to fill that gap.
e) the avergae sea level pressure is 1013.25 mb, 14.7 psi and 29.93 in hg.
the wrong one is d) atmospheric pressure is highest over land- atmosheric pressure is less at land than the sea level because of the elevation of land.
2. in a second question these statements are true.
a) ice crystals are hexagonal- shape of the ice crystal is hexagonal so this stetment is true
b) water vapor is invincible to naked eye- water vapour particles are too small to see by a naked eye so thats are invincible to naked eye.
d) some location on earth do not receive rain in any given year while other lkocation receive 500 inches per year- some locations like deserts do not receive much amount of water and sometimes do not receive single waterdrop even while some places like masingram receive 10,000 millimeter rain in a year, this depend on the geographical locations and the winds direction
e) ice is more dense than liquid water- particles of ice are situated near toi each other than liquid water thats why ice is more dense than liquid water
3. the example of evaporative cooling is -
a) standing out in breeze getting out a pool in summer
because in summer winds will be warm after getting out of pool warm winds evaporates the water from our body and we will fell cooling, so this is an example of evaporative cooling.
