Question

1. If there's an unsaturated air mass (meaning the air mass is below the saturation vapor pressure) at a given temperature, there are two ways to saturate it where the vapor pressure will then equal the saturation vapor pressure. What are they? Mark both correct answers.

Select one or more:

a. Cool the air mass until it becomes saturated with water vapor

b. Add more water vapor to the air mass

c. Heat the air mass until it becomes saturated with water vapor

d. Remove water vapor from the air mass

2. Considering the global hydrologic cycle, what are important fluxes of water? Mark all that apply

Select one or more:

a. Evaporation

b. Precipitation

c. Transpiration

d. Oceans

e. The atmosphere

3. Death Valley National Park is a rain shadow region as a result of the Sierra Nevada mountains.

Select one:

a. True

b. False

Explanation / Answer

Ans: 1) Two ways to saturate air to reach the saturation vapor pressure are:

2. Considering the global hydrologic cycle, what are important fluxes of water? Mark all that apply

The fluxes of water between the oceans, surface water bodies (lakes, rivers, and streams), groundwater in subsurface aquifers, the atmosphere, and the biosphere..

3. Death Valley National Park is a rain shadow region as a result of the Sierra Nevada mountains.

Select one:

a. True

b. False
