ATSC 110 Test 1 Questions with All Correct Answers What is kinetic energy? - Answer- Anybody in motion has kinetic energy, therefore kinetic energy is the energy within a body that is a result of its motion. How does the average speed of air molecules relate to the air temperature? - Answer- Temperature is a measure of the average speed of the atoms and molecules, where higher temperatures correspond to faster average speeds of atoms and molecules. Distinguish between temperature and h...

ATSC 110 Test 3 Questions with All Correct Answers What cause wind gusts? - Answer- -near the surface, wind flows over the irregular landscape and objects -wind breaks into a series of irregular, twisting eddies that can influence the air flow for hundreds of meters above the surface -within each eddy, the wind speed and direction fluctuate rapidly producing the irregular air motion known as "wind gusts" What is the height of the 'planetary boundary' or 'friction' laye...

ATSC 110 Test 2 Questions and Answers All Correct What is an unstable atmosphere? - Answer- When a parcel of air remains warmer than the surrounding air while being lifted, we say the air is unstable. In other words, when the environmental lapse rate is greater than the dry lapse rate (10°C/km) the atmosphere is absolutely unstable. What conditions cause an unstable atmosphere? - Answer- The environmental lapse rate is large (steep) when unstable conditions prevail. In other words the d...

ATSC 110 Meteorology Final Exam Questions with All Correct Answers Describe how the process of collision-and- coalescence produces precipitation. - Answer- 1) Cloud droplets are of varying sizes within the cloud mass because of the varying strengths of the updrafts within the cloud, 2) Coalescences occurs between the cloud droplets when the larger cloud droplets fall and collide with smaller droplets, 3) The drops will eventually grow to a size that overcomes the upward vertical velocity withi...
