A/ 4

B/ 9

C/ 25

D/ 36

9/ The process by which plants give up moisture to the air is:

A/ evaporation

B/ transpiration

C/ evapotranspiration

D/ none of these

10/ The rate of evaporation is affected by:

True False (Just highlight your Answer)

1/ The dry adiabatic lapse rate is constant.

A/ True b/ False

2/ In general, the Polar Regions have low precipitation.

A/ True b/ False

3/ The higher the relative humidity, the more comfortable people tend to feel.

A/ True b/ False

4/ The closer the dew point temperature is to the actual air temperature, the lower the relative humidity.

A/ True b/ False

5/ When the air is holding all the moisture it can at a given temperature, it is said to be

Explanation / Answer

1) c) is associated with rising air

reason : beacuse it is associated with the rising air and the word adiabatic means there is no heat transfer

2)B) hydrologic cycle

REASON : HYDROLOGICAL CYCLE is defined as the  circulation of water from one part of the general Earth system to another

3)a) increases

reason : temperature is directly proportional to the amount of water it can hold

4)c)saturation

reason :When air at given temp. holds all of the water vapor that it can possibly hold, air is said to be in state of saturation
