What is the term for the precipitation in the form of fine flakes of snow? A. Hail B. Sleet C. Snowfall D. Rain Explanation: Snowfall is the precipitation of ice crystals in the form of flakes. 2 / 202. What is the main difference between fog and mist? A. Mist is thicker than fog. B. Fog occurs at higher altitudes. C. Mist occurs at lower altitudes. D. Fog is thicker than mist. Explanation: Mist and fog are similar, but mist has a higher concentration of water droplets, making it denser. 3 / 203. What is the primary source of energy that drives the water cycle? A. Wind B. Pressure C. Gravity D. Heat Explanation: Heat from the sun is the main driver of evaporation, which is a key process in the water cycle. 4 / 204. Which areas of the world generally receive greater amounts of rainfall than the interiors of continents? A. Coastal areas B. Deserts C. Polar regions D. Mountain peaks Explanation: Coastal areas are closer to large water sources, leading to higher levels of evaporation and rainfall. 5 / 205. Which areas of the world generally receive greater amounts of rainfall than the interiors of continents? A. Mountain peaks B. Polar regions C. Coastal areas D. Deserts Explanation: Coastal areas are closer to large water sources, leading to higher levels of evaporation and rainfall. 6 / 206. What is the term for the precipitation in the form of fine flakes of snow? A. Hail B. Sleet C. Rain D. Snowfall Explanation: Snowfall is the precipitation of ice crystals in the form of flakes. 7 / 207. Between which latitudes is rainfall heavier on the eastern coasts and decreases towards the west? A. 45° to 65° N and S B. 35° to 40° N and S C. 0° to 10° N and S D. 15° to 25° N and S Explanation: Due to global wind patterns, rainfall is higher on eastern coasts and lower on western coasts in these latitudes. 8 / 208. What is the term for the temperature at which water starts evaporating? A. Dew point B. Boiling point C. Latent heat of vaporization D. Condensation point Explanation: The latent heat of vaporization is the amount of heat required to change water from a liquid to a gas. 9 / 209. What is the name for the type of clouds that are formed due to the mixing of air masses with different temperatures? A. Stratus B. Cumulus C. Cirrus D. Nimbus Explanation: Stratus clouds can form when air masses of different temperatures mix, causing condensation. 10 / 2010. What is the term for the process where rainwater passes through colder layers and solidifies into small, rounded pieces of ice? A. Sleet formation B. Snow formation C. Rain formation D. Hail formation Explanation: Hail forms when raindrops are carried upward into extremely cold areas of a thunderstorm and freeze. 11 / 2011. What is the general trend of rainfall as we move from the equator towards the poles? A. Rainfall remains constant. B. Rainfall fluctuates randomly. C. Rainfall decreases. D. Rainfall increases. Explanation: Rainfall tends to decrease as we move away from the equator and towards the poles. 12 / 2012. What is the name for the type of clouds that are formed due to the mixing of air masses with different temperatures? A. Stratus B. Cumulus C. Nimbus D. Cirrus Explanation: Stratus clouds can form when air masses of different temperatures mix, causing condensation. 13 / 2013. What is the term for the temperature at which water starts evaporating? A. Latent heat of vaporization B. Condensation point C. Boiling point D. Dew point Explanation: The latent heat of vaporization is the amount of heat required to change water from a liquid to a gas. 14 / 2014. What is the term for the moisture deposited in the form of minute ice crystals on cold surfaces? A. Mist B. Frost C. Dew D. Fog Explanation: Frost occurs when water vapor changes directly into ice crystals on surfaces when the temperature is below freezing. 15 / 2015. Between which latitudes is rainfall heavier on the eastern coasts and decreases towards the west? A. 15° to 25° N and S B. 0° to 10° N and S C. 35° to 40° N and S D. 45° to 65° N and S Explanation: Due to global wind patterns, rainfall is higher on eastern coasts and lower on western coasts in these latitudes. 16 / 2016. What is the primary source of energy that drives the water cycle? A. Gravity B. Wind C. Pressure D. Heat Explanation: Heat from the sun is the main driver of evaporation, which is a key process in the water cycle. 17 / 2017. What is the name for the type of clouds that are thin and detached, having a feathery appearance? A. Cirrus B. Stratus C. Nimbus D. Cumulus Explanation: Cirrus clouds are high-altitude clouds with a wispy, feathery appearance. 18 / 2018. What is the general trend of rainfall as we move from the equator towards the poles? A. Rainfall increases. B. Rainfall decreases. C. Rainfall fluctuates randomly. D. Rainfall remains constant. Explanation: Rainfall tends to decrease as we move away from the equator and towards the poles. 19 / 2019. What is the main difference between fog and mist? A. Fog occurs at higher altitudes. B. Mist occurs at lower altitudes. C. Mist is thicker than fog. D. Fog is thicker than mist. Explanation: Mist and fog are similar, but mist has a higher concentration of water droplets, making it denser. 20 / 2020. What is the term for the moisture deposited in the form of minute water droplets on cooler surfaces of solid objects? A. Mist B. Fog C. Dew D. Frost Explanation: Dew forms when water vapor condenses into liquid droplets on surfaces like grass or leaves.
