What energy travels in waves and causes the air to vibrate?
Sound Energy
100
What must occur in order for evaporation to happen?
The Sun has to heat up liquid water on Earth’s surface
100
What is the type of circuit shown below and the result that will occur?
A closed Circuit, the energy will flow and the light bulb will light up.
100
Which climate zone has warm summers and cold winters because the amount of direct sunlight changes throughout the year?
The Temperate Zone
200
A fireplace, stove and a candle give off what form of energy?
Heat Energy
200
In what ways can evaporated water return to Earth’s surface?
Rain, snow, sleet, or hail
200
What is the type of circuit shown below and the result that will occur?
An open Circuit, The energy will not flow
200
Which climate zone receives the least amount of direct sunlight causing it to be cold all year long?
The Poar Zone
300
What pitch would the sound produced by a fast vibrating object be?
High Pitch
300
Describe the way water changes throughout the water cycle.
Evaporation- liquid turns to gas
Condensation- gas turns to liquid
Precipitation- falls as solid or liquid

300
How does elevation affect the climate of an area?
As elevation increases, temperature and air pressure decreases
400
Digestion and Batteries are an example of what form of energy?
Chemical Energy
400
What type of weather will high pressure, low humidity, and cirrus clouds most likely produce?
A sunny day
400
Name a material does NOT conduct electricity and why?
Rubber, Plastic, or wood, They are insulators
400
Which environment stays cold all year is very dry, and has low humidity?
The Tundra
500
What causes the pencil to appear broken in the glass of water?
Light energy. It changes speed as it travels from the air into the water causing the pencil to look bent or broken.
500
What is the difference between air that travels over land and air that travels over water?
Air traveling over land is drier but air traveling over water is wetter.
500
Kelly had a battery, bulb, and a wire. How should she setup her circuit to make the bulb light up?
The wire should run from the bulb to the battery and from the battery to the bulb.
500
Hector noticed that stratus clouds were covering the sky. Based on the clouds, what type of weather should he expect to witness throughout the day?
Light rain, snow, or sleet on and off throughout the day.
