With ELABORATED 100% Correct
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS Guaranteed
Pass First Attempt!! Current Update!!
Convert 15 degree Celsius to Fahrenheit temperature. - Answer- 59F

Standard lapse rate is about ______ degrees C per 1000 feet. - Answer- 2

The most frequent type of ground or surface based temperature inversion is that which
is produced by - Answer- the movement of colder air under warm air, or the movement
of warm air over cold air

Moisture is added to air by - Answer- Evaporation and sublimation

T/F
Relative humidity indicate the actual water contents instead of how close the air is to
saturation, so relative humidity is always constant regardless of temperature. - Answer-
FALSE

T/F
The higher the air parcel's temperature is, the greater the air parcel's capacity of holding
water will be. - Answer- TRUE

Assuming constant pressure, temperature, and volume, which statement is correct?
-air with greater amount of water vapor is more dense (weigh more) than air with lesser
amount of water vapor.
-air with greater amount of water vapor is less dense (weigh less) than air with lesser
amount of water vapor
-air with greater amount of water vapor has same density (weigh same) as air with
lesser amount water vapor. - Answer- air with greater amount of water vapor is less
dense (weigh less) than air with lesser amount of water vapor

A temperature inversion would most likely result in which weather condition ? - Answer-
An increase in temperature as altitude is increased

The difference between an air parcel's temperature and its dewpoint is the dewpoint
depression, or commonly referred to as the spread.
When the spread decreases to zero : - Answer- relative humidity is 100 percent

Select the phase transition that is not associated with the absorption of latent heat:
melting

, evaporation
sublimation
freezing - Answer- FREEZING

What is incorrect statements about density
-Assuming equal mass, an air parcel with a higher density has a smaller volume than an
air parcel with a lower density
-Assuming constant mass and temperature, an air parcel with a higher pressure is
denser than an air parcel with a lower pressure.
-Assuming constant mass and pressure, an air parcel with a higher temperature is less
dense than an air parcel with a lower temperature
-Assuming constant pressure, temperature, and volume, air with a greater amount of
water vapor is more dense than air with a lesser amount of water vapor. - Answer-
Assuming constant pressure, temperature, and volume, air with a greater amount of
water vapor is more dense than air with a lesser amount of water vapor.

T/F
In the cold air column, the pilot would fly at an altitude lower than the indicated altitude. -
Answer- TRUE

Every physical process of weather is accompanied by, or is the result of, a - Answer-
Heat exchange

Clouds, fog, or dew will always form when - Answer- water vapor condenses

Which is true regarding actual air temperature and dewpoint temperature spread? the
temperature spread - Answer- decreases as the relative humidity increases.

T/F
On Density altitude - dewpoint (water vapor) is also contributing factor, but its effects
are generally negligible. - Answer- FALSE

The wind at 5,000 feet AGL is southwesterly while the surface wind is southerly. The
difference in direction is primarily due to - Answer- friction between the wind and the
surface

The performance table of an aircraft for takeoff and climb are based on - Answer-
pressure/density altitude

Convective circulation patterns associated with sea breezes are caused by - Answer-
Cool, dense air moving inland from over the water

Select incorrect statement.
-Cold Front - colder air replace warm air
-Warm Front - warmer air is replaced by colder air
-Stationary Front - a front which is stationary or near so
