Question

True/False. If false, explain why it is false. 1. (1 pt) True False: Kinematics is the study of patterns of motion without regard of what causes them. 2. (1 pt) True False: The three principal kinematic flow types are divergence, vorticity and deformation 3. (1 pt) True False: Positive divergence is referred to as convergence. 4. (1 pt) True / False: The horizontal flow associated with a cyclone in the Northern Hemisphere has positive vorticity 5. (1 pt) Tre False: Due to mass continuity, horizontal (x-y) divergence of air relative to some central point must be associated with vertical motion of air above or below that point. 6. (1 pt) TFalse: High pressure systems are associated with anti-cyclonic flow near-surface divergence, and downward motion, and thus tend to produce clear skies. 7. (1 pt) True False: In general, precipitation on Earth ocursin regions where near- 8. (1 pt) True False: Advection is defined as the net transport of some property by the surface air is being forced to converge horizontally. wind 9. (1 pt) True False: Positive temperature advection is also called cold air advection 10. (1 pt) True False: The net effect of temperature advection by an extratropical cyclone acts to transport heat towards higher latitudes.

Explanation / Answer

1. True. Kinemetics is the study of motion of points without considering what caused the motion.

2. False. divergence, vorticity, and stretching and shearing deformation are quantities of principle kinematic flow and not the type of kinematic flow

3. false. Negative diveregence is referred to as convergence

4. false. clockwise spin in the Northern Hemisphere produces NEGATIVE VORTICITY
