2. Air Pressure 100 This is highest at sea level and lowest on Mount Everest. What is air pressure?

3. Air Pressure 200 The higher you go, the more of this you have as air pressure decreases. What is altitude?

4. Air Pressure 300 This is caused by the constant motion of air molecules. What is air pressure?

5. Air Pressure 400 The air molecules are pushed closer together at sea level. Why is the air at sea level denser than air at high altitudes?

6. Air Pressure 500 What is: the doldrums and the horse latitudes are the same because they are regions of calm that separate global wind belts. Winds in these regions are light and often change direction. They are different because the doldrums are a low- pressure zone in which air rises, and the horse latitudes are a high-pressure zone in which air sinks? Compare and contrast the doldrums and the horse latitudes.

7. Humidity 100 Humidity. What is how much water is in the air?

8. Humidity 200 This air holds more water. What is warmer air?

9. Humidity 300 The rate of condensation equals the rate of precipitation. What happens when air becomes saturated?

10. Humidity 400 Two rooms have the same humidity. One room is cooler than the other. This room has the greater relative humidity. What is the cooler room?

11. Humidity 500 This is why water forms on the outside of a glass of Ice Tea on a very warm day. What is the warm air outside holds more water than the cooler air around the glass?

12. moving air 100 From areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. Which way do winds move?

13. moving air 200 This causes a mountain breeze to form. What is unequal heating and cooling of slopes and valleys?

14. moving air 300 It causes the winds to curve to the right in the Northern Hemisphere. How does the Coriolis effect influence global winds?

15. moving air 400 Doldrums, Horse Latitudes, Westerlies, Easterlies and Trade Winds What are Global Winds?

16. moving air 500 This causes the polar easterlies to flow away from polar regions. What is all winds flow as air moves from high- pressure areas to low-pressure areas. The polar easterlies blow as air moves from the high-pressure, polar regions to low-pressure regions between the westerlies and easterlies?

17. Clouds 100 What clouds are made of. What are millions of tiny water droplets?

18. Clouds 200 Water drops combine and become heavy enough to fall. When does precipitation form?

19. Clouds 300 Three things necessary for clouds to form. What is are water, particulates, and low pressure?

20. Clouds 400 It enters the air when plants release it from their leaves (transpiration) and when liquid water evaporates. How does water vapor enter Earth's atmosphere?

21. Clouds 500 When air cools to its dew point. When do clouds form?

22. metric system 100 The number of milliliters in a liter. What is 1,000ml?

23. metric system 200 The number of millimeters in five centimeters What is 50mm?

24. metric system 300 The name for one thousand grams. What is a kilogram?

25. metric system 400 The metric units for mass, distance and time. (in that order) What are grams, meters, and seconds (minutes or hours)?

26. metric system 500 The number of miles in a 10K road race. What is 6.2 miles?

27. Random facts 100 The amount of mass something has compared to the amount of space that it takes up. What is density?

28. Random facts 200 The role that trees play in the carbon cycle. What is take in carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and release oxygen (O 2 )? Or, what is photosynthesis?

29. Random facts 300 The on going process by which Nitrogen is moved through the earth, living organisms, and the atmosphere. What is the Nitrogen Cycle?

30. Random facts 400 Double zeros. What do you get if you do not do class work or homework when Ms Dwyer has a Sub?

31. Random facts 500 The number of lives that Serge wanted to save in the movie “The Core”. What is three, his wife and his two children?

32. Final Jeopardy Use these terms to answer the following questions: cumulus clouds, weather, and altitude Benjamin was planning a bike trip on a warm spring day. He looked out the window that morning and saw cumulus clouds in the sky. 1. What type of weather condition resulted in the formation of these clouds? 2. Can Benjamin expect any changes in the weather if the clouds reach higher altitudes? 3. Should he take any rain gear on his trip? (Turn in to teacher with your score sheet when you are finished.)

33. 1.Cumulus clouds usually form in the daytime during fair weather, when warm air rises vertically and then condenses as it cools. 2.If cumulus clouds reach higher altitudes, they can produce showers and thunderstorms. 3. Benjamin should probably take a rain jacket with him on his trip.
