ATMS 1050 Mizzou Aldrich Exam 2
With Complete Solution
What will occur if a glass of water at a stable temperature is surrounded by
saturated air? - ANSWER The level of the water in the glass would not
change.
Molecules escaping a container - ANSWER evaporation
Evaporation + Condensation = - ANSWER saturation
Molecules returning to a container - ANSWER condensation
When the air temperature increases, the saturation vapor pressure decreases.
- ANSWER False
If the air temperature increased, with no addition or removal of water vapor,
the actual vapor pressure would - ANSWER stay the same
Which of the following will increase in a rising parcel of air? - ANSWER
relative humidity
Condensation nuclei may be: - ANSWER 1. particles of dust
2. nitric acid particles
3. smoke from forest fires
4. salt from the ocean
5. all of these choices are correct
Water in a glass will evaporate more quickly on a windy, warm, dry summer
, day than on a calm, cold, dry winter day. - ANSWER True
During the winter, high relative humidity can irritate the mucus membranes
in the nose and throat. - ANSWER False
Nighttime temperatures rarely drop below the dew point temperature
because at saturation, latent heat of condensation is released into the air. -
ANSWER True
Which cloud often looks like pouches or sacs? - ANSWER mammatus
Condensation nuclei may be made up of salt from the ocean. - ANSWER True
Stratus - ANSWER Layer
Cumulus - ANSWER Heap
Cirrus - ANSWER Curl of hair
Nimbus - ANSWER Violent rain
In Howard's cloud classification system sheetlike clouds were named ____
("layer"); a puffy cloud ____ ("heap"); a wispy cloud ____ ("curl of hair"); and a
rain cloud ____ ("violent rain"). - ANSWER stratus; cumulus; cirrus; nimbus
The dew point is the temperature at which - ANSWER saturation occurs.
Particles that serve as surfaces on which water vapor may condense are
called - ANSWER condensation nuclei.
