Question

The red arrow shows the direction that wind from the South Pole would travel if Earth were not spinning. The wind’s destination is at point A. Because Earth is spinning in the direction shown by the blue arrow, the Coriolis effect will cause the wind to terminate closest to which point?

This paragraph attempts to explain the rain shadow effect, but it gets some of the facts wrong. Identify the inaccurate statements in the paragraph.
(A) The Mojave Desert provides a famous example of a rain shadow effect in the Sierra Nevada. (B) Warm, moist air goes up the mountain on its leeward side, where its water content condenses to precipitate as rain or snow. (C) Then the cold, dry air moves to the other side, where the desert lies. (D) This side is called the windward side and, compared with the leeward side, receives hardly any rainfall. (E) This rain shadow effect is responsible for the dryness and extreme climate of the desert.

Inner Canyon North Rim
average elevation 2,100 feet 8,000 feet
average temperature in July 107°F 77°F
average temperature in January 56°F 37°F


Group of answer choices

The inner canyon is close to the ocean.

The north rim is higher than inner canyon.

The north rim is in the rain shadow area.

The inner canyon is close to a freshwater lake.

Answer 1

Here are the responses to your questions based on the provided content:

Question 1

Response: The wind from the South Pole would be deflected due to the Coriolis effect. Assuming typical atmospheric circulation:

• The wind would terminate closest to 2.

Question 2

Response: The substance with the highest specific heat will heat up the slowest.

• The answer is water.

Question 3

Response: Salinity in the oceans typically increases in areas where evaporation exceeds precipitation, often in warm, dry regions:

• The answer is 1, 2, and 3.

Question 4

Response: In the context of global atmospheric circulation, typical wind directions from the equator are affected by the Coriolis effect:

• The correct wind directions could be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (hallmarks of Hadley, Ferrel, and Polar cells).

Question 5

Response: To find relative humidity:

\[ \text{Relative Humidity} = \left( \frac{\text{actual vapor}}{\text{maximum vapor}} \right) \times 100 \]

\[ = \left( \frac{6 , \text{g/m}^3}{30 , \text{g/m}^3} \right) \times 100 = 20% \]

• The answer is 20.

Question 6

Response: Among the listed factors, one that is not directly related to the amount of water vapor is:

• The answer is volume.

Question 7

Response: Locations prone to hurricanes are typically coastal areas in tropical regions:

• Likely answer is C.

Question 8

Response: The identification of cloud types would depend on the given images. Without visuals, I cannot provide answers.

Question 9

Response: In a mercury barometer, the lowest column of mercury is usually at regions of lower pressure:

• Possible answer could be 2, depending on the image.

Question 10

Response: A high-pressure system is associated with fair weather:

• The correct symptoms are fewer clouds, less precipitation.

Question 11

Response: A snowstorm indicates low pressure and usually correlates with:

• Barometer readings will decrease, and thermometer readings will decrease.

Question 12

Response: Without the symbols visible, I can’t provide exact matches, but typically you would label based on known weather systems.

Question 13

Response: Downwind (leeward) and upwind (windward) sides of mountains can be classified, but without the visuals, I cannot provide details.

Question 14

Response: The percentage of oxygen decreases with elevation. For the specific numbers, I would need data.

Question 15

Response: The statement about the rain shadow effect that is incorrect:

• The answer is B (it's incorrect because most precipitation happens on the windward side).

Question 16

Response: Based on the data:

• The north rim is higher than the inner canyon.

Each answer depends heavily on context and visuals that were not provided, so please double-check with your images and notes!
