Question

1) Unequal heating of air over land and water results in breezes near shorelines. While the land is warm during the day, air above it rises, and a cool breeze blows in from the sea. As the land cools off at night, air pressure over it increases, and a cool land breeze blows out to the sea. True or False

2) Cumulonimbus clouds usually extend to the tropopause and are violent with severe up and down drafts, rain, ice pellets, hail, lightening, and an anvil if winds aloft are strong. True or false

3) A dry parcel of air will cool at 3.3F per 1000 feet of altitude, while a wet parcel of air (saturated) will cool at a rate of 5.5F per 1000 feet. True or false

4) The Gas Law states: Pressure = humidity X density True or false

5) Coriolis Force causes wind to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere, the left in the Southern Hemisphere. True or false

6) Radiation fog is likely on clear nights with light winds of 8kts to 12kts.True or false

7) _________ __________ are vortices caused by interference to wind by obstruction. They form from the ground upward and are not tornadoes.

Explanation / Answer

1. True.

2. True

3. False. The dry parcel will cool at 5.5F and wet parcel will cool at 3.3F

4. False. The ideal gas law states that the pressure of a gas equals to the density times and gas constant time the temperature of the gas i.e PV=nRT
