Chapter 17 • Our summer
Chapter 17 Earth’s axis tilts at an angle of approximately 23.5°. If Earth’s tilt were reduced to zero, how would the seasons on Earth be affected?
Chapter 17 • If Earth were not tilted, all locations in the northern and southern hemispheres would receive the same intensity of sunlight all year long. • There would be no seasons on Earth.
Chapter 17 Why is the climate at the North Pole cooler than the climate in Georgia?
Chapter 17 • Climate is greatly dependent on latitude. • The sun’s rays hit the ground at the North Pole at a much less direct angle than the rays in Georgia do. • The greater amount of direct sunlight in Georgia makes Georgia warmer than the North Pole.

Chapter 16 Jane filled one glass with warm water and one with ice water. After 10 minutes, she observed that water drops were forming on the outside of the glass that contained ice water. What is the most likely cause of Jane’s observation? AThe ice water caused the air around the glass to cool to its dew point. BThe ice water caused the amount of water in the air to increase. CThe ice water leaked through the glass. DThe temperature of the warm water was below the dew point.

Chapter 15 The map shows the locations of low-pressure and high-pressure belts across North and South America. Why is pressure low at the equator relative to pressure at 30°N or 30°S latitude? ACold air sinks at the equator and causes an area of low pressure. BCold air at the poles rises and causes an area of high pressure. CWarm air at the equator rises and causes an area of low pressure. DWarm air at the poles sinks and causes an area of high pressure.

Chapter 15 What factors affect the temperature of precipitation such that snow falls in the winter and rain falls in the summer? Achanges in Earth’s rotation and the Coriolis effect Bchanges in rates of evaporation and in cloud cover Cchanges in the location of pressure belts and the directions of winds Dchange in the amount of direct sunlight that reaches Earth’s surface

Chapter 15 Why is the top of the mesosphere colder than the top of the troposphere? AThere are fewer gases that absorb solar energy in the mesosphere. BThe troposphere is closer to the sun than the mesosphere is. CParticles are far apart in the mesosphere, so they do not transfer energy. DThe mesosphere contains less ozone than the troposphere does.

Chapter 15 Sammy feels an ocean breeze as he plays volleyball at the beach. Why do ocean winds blow toward shore during the day? AEarth’s rotation causes air to blow toward land. BThe energy of ocean storms pushes air toward shore. CAir over the beach heats up, rises, and is replaced by ocean air. DOcean air is less dense, so it moves in to replace air over the land.
