True-False Quiz

This activity contains 10 questions.

	The water molecules in cold water are more agitated than those in warm water.

	True False

	When there are enough water vapor molecules in air to exert the maximum vapor pressure at any given temperature, we say that the air is saturated.

	True False

	There will be net evaporation if the air remains calm and the temperature does not change.

	True False

	The rate of evaporation from a water surface is determined by the temperature of the water, the temperature of the air, and the degree of windiness. More evaporation occurs because of higher temperatures and winds.

	True False

	Even though potential evapotranspiration exceeds actual precipitation, there is still water available for storage in soil and in plants.

	True False

	High clouds are generally found above 35,000 ft.
	High clouds are generally found above 35,000 ft.
	True False

	Altocumulus and altostratus occur between 6,500 and 20,000 ft.

	True False

	A radiation fog results when the ground cools through radiation.

	True False

	An advection fog develops when warm, moist air moves horizontally over a cold surface.

	True False

	The only requisite condition that needs to occur to produce orographic precipitation is a windward slope of a barrier. The leeward slope is the dry side.

	True False
