The paths of two air masses, X and Y, are shown in the diagram.
Air mass X is a cold air mass. Air mass Y is a warm air mass. When the air masses meet, winter storms may be produced.
Which of the following most likely contributes to the formation of these storms?
(1 point)
Responses
Cold air mass X moves over warm air mass Y, and evaporation occurs.
Cold air mass X moves over warm air mass Y, and evaporation occurs.
Warm air mass Y moves over cold air mass X, and condensation occurs.
Warm air mass Y moves over cold air mass X, and condensation occurs.
Cold air mass X mixes with warm air mass Y, and the overall temperature increases.
Cold air mass X mixes with warm air mass Y, and the overall temperature increases.
Warm air mass Y mixes with cold air mass X, and the overall temperature decreases.

Which of the following BEST describes the difference between weather and climate?(1 point)
Responses
Weather includes temperature, wind speed, and humidity; but, climate involves only temperature and precipitation.
Weather includes temperature, wind speed, and humidity; but, climate involves only temperature and precipitation.
Weather is affected by Earth's rotation and the hydrologic cycle. However, the climate is only affected by precipitation and temperature.
Weather is affected by Earth's rotation and the hydrologic cycle. However, the climate is only affected by precipitation and temperature.
Weather is the condition of the atmosphere at any given time. It is constantly changing. However, climate is the pattern of weather that occurs over a long period of time.
Weather is the condition of the atmosphere at any given time. It is constantly changing. However, climate is the pattern of weather that occurs over a long period of time.
Climate is affected by different amounts of sunlight, large bodies of water, carbon dioxide, and volcanic eruptions. However, the weather is only affected by sunlight and large bodies of water.

New water molecules are made.
The correct responses are:
- Water is redistributed around Earth.
- Solar energy is absorbed.
(Note: While the water cycle helps in purifying water to some extent, it does not guarantee that all water is cleaned and safe to drink. Additionally, the water cycle does not create new water molecules.)
Without the Coriolis Effect, the atmosphere would circulate back and forth between the warm, low pressure area at the equator and the cold, high pressure area at the poles.
Instead, the Coriolis Effect results in the air deflecting towards the right in the Northern Hemisphere and toward the Left in the Southern Hemisphere.
What causes these curved paths?
