What will most likely happen when a warmer air mass exists above a polar ice sheet? (5 points)
The temperature of the ice sheet will be lowered.
Heat will be transferred from the air mass to the ice.
The air mass will exert high pressure and rise upwards.

The image below shows a certain type of global wind: (5 points)

The Earth is shown as a circle. Equator is shown and labeled at 0 degrees. 30 degrees north and south latitudes are shown and labeled. 60 degrees north and south latitudes are shown and labeled. Curved arrows are shown pointing from 30 degrees north and south latitudes towards the equator.

What best describes these winds?
Polar easterlies caused by air above poles being relatively warmer
Polar easterlies caused by air above poles being relatively cooler
Trade winds caused by air above equator being relatively warmer
Trade winds caused by air above equator being relatively cooler

Which weather event is most likely to occur if there are warmer than average ocean waters in the Pacific? (5 points)
Flooding in the southern United States due to El Niño
Drought in the southern United States due to La Niña
Wet conditions in the Pacific Northwest due to El Niño
Weak trade winds due to La Niña

Study the following ocean currents map.

An ocean currents map is shown. On the map the locations for San Francisco, California and Norfolk, Virginia are marked. There is a looping current from the north past San Francisco and a looping current from the south near Norfolk

Which statement is most likely correct about the average temperatures in San Francisco, California as compared to Norfolk, Virginia? (5 points)

It is higher in Norfolk because of the cool ocean currents from the north.
It is higher in Norfolk because of the warm ocean currents from the south.
It is lower in San Francisco because of the cool ocean currents from the south.
It is lower in San Francisco because of the warm ocean currents from the north.

What type of climate is most likely expected in locations between the poles and the equator that have high amounts of water vapor in the air? (5 points)
Dry
Low humidity
No rain
Seasonal storms

Why should extra precautions against sun exposure be taken when boating? (5 points)
Water cancels out most sunscreens.
UV rays are blocked over land, but not over water.
The heat of the water increases potential skin damage.
The water reflects UV rays, adding to exposure.
