Question

True/False: On a cold night, calm surface winds can help establish a nocturnal inversion.

True/False: Tsunamis,floods, and earthquakes are all examples of weather.

True/False: The current level of atmospheric oxygen is thought to have come from gas emitted from volcanic eruptions.

True/False: The dry adiabatic lapse rate is about 5.5 deg. F per 1000 feet, and the moist adiabatic lapse rate is about 3.3 deg. F per 1000 feet.

True/False: Sandy soil has a relatively low thermal conductivity. Therefore, the surface layer over sandy soil will normally reach a lower temperature during the day than it would over soil that is moist or covered with vegetation.

Explanation / Answer

True-This is because during day time the land area gains heat and slowly when the climate cools down,an inversion takes place in the temperature.

False-Tsunami,earthquakes and floods are examples of plate tectonic movements. These occur under the earth surface.

True-Oxygen content also comes from volcanic eruptions.

True

True-Normally soily surface has lower temperature.
