GY101 - Exam 3 Questions With Correct
Answers
What are the four elements of weather and climate? - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-temperature, pressure, wind, moisture content | | | |
What is water vapor? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Tasteless, odorless.
| | | | | | | |
colorless, and completely invisible. It is restricted to the Troposphere
| | | | | | | | |
What is evaporation? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Liquid to gas. It is the
| | | | | | | | | | |
cooling process for the environment
| | | |
What is condensation? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Gas to liquid. It is the
| | | | | | | | | | |
warming process for the environment
| | | |
What is deposition? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-water directly to ice
| | | | | | | |
What does the rate of evaporation depend on? - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-Air and water temp. The degree of saturation of air. The
| | | | | | | | | | |
amount of mixing (windiness) which means relative humidity is high and
| | | | | | | | | |
there is less evaporation.
| | | |
, When relative humidity is low, is there more or less evaporation? -
| | | | | | | | | | | |

absolute, and relative | |
What is absolute humidity? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Ratio of weight of
| | | | | | | | | |
water in a given volume of air. Ratio changes as air rises and descends.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
What is specific humidity? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Weight of water in a
| | | | | | | | | |
given weight of air.
| | | |
What is relative humidity? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Percent of water in
| | | | | | | | | |
the air compared to the amount if the air were to be saturated.
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Is relative humidity high at night or in the morning? - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-RH is high in the mornings and low at night. | | | | | | | | |
