  • 2. 

    Warm air can hold more water than cool air.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Warm air has the ability to hold more moisture because as air temperature increases, the water molecules within it gain more energy and move faster. This increased movement allows the air to hold more water vapor. On the other hand, cool air has less capacity to hold moisture because the water molecules move slower and have less energy, resulting in a lower ability to retain water vapor. Therefore, warm air can indeed hold more water than cool air.

  • 3. 

    When there is a lot of humidity, the air feels _____.

    • Dry

    • Wet

    • Wet and dry

    • Fresh

    Correct Answer
    A. Wet
    Explanation
    When there is a lot of humidity, the air feels wet. Humidity refers to the amount of moisture or water vapor present in the air. When the humidity level is high, the air feels damp and moist, which gives a sensation of being wet. This is because the moisture in the air can cling to surfaces and make them feel damp, and it can also cause perspiration to evaporate more slowly, leading to a feeling of stickiness or wetness on the skin.

  • 4. 

    If you get too hot, you should:

    • Slow down

    • Drink some water

    • Cool off

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    If you get too hot, it is important to take certain actions to prevent any negative effects. Slowing down can help reduce exertion and lower body temperature. Drinking water helps to stay hydrated and regulate body temperature. Cooling off, such as by finding shade or using a fan, can help bring down body temperature. Therefore, all of the above options are correct actions to take when you get too hot.

  • 5. 

    What is it called when water condenses on the ground?

    Correct Answer
    dew
    DEW
    Dew
    Explanation
    When water vapor in the air comes into contact with a cooler surface, it condenses and forms small droplets of water. This process is known as dew. The answer provided, "dew, DEW, Dew," correctly identifies the term for this phenomenon.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Humidity can make a hot day feel cooler.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Humidity actually makes a hot day feel hotter, not cooler. When the air is humid, it already contains a significant amount of moisture, which hinders the evaporation of sweat from our skin. As a result, our bodies are less able to cool down through the natural process of evaporation, making us feel more uncomfortable and hotter.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    What happens to water vapor when it rises into the air and cools down?

    • It will condense in the ground as dew

    • It will make a hot day feel even hotter

    • It will condense into liquid water

    • It will evaporate into teeny-tiny drops

    Correct Answer
    A. It will condense into liquid water
    Explanation
    When water vapor rises into the air and cools down, it loses energy and starts to condense. This means that the water vapor transforms into liquid water droplets. This process is known as condensation and is responsible for the formation of clouds, fog, and precipitation such as rain or snow. Therefore, the correct answer is that water vapor will condense into liquid water.
