Chapter 5 Earth’s Weather Sample Chapter Test Lesson 1 Earth’s Atmosphere Air pressure D. Barometer G. Troposphere Altitude E. Gravity H. Volume Atmosphere F. Temperature I. Water vapor 1 G The layer of gas closest to the earth 2 B A measure of height above the Earth’s surface 3 A The force put on a given area by the weight of the air above it. 4 C Layers of gas that form around the Earth 5-7 F H I Variables that change air pressure are height and? 8 E The force of attraction between an object and the Earth 9 D An instrument used to measure air pressure. 10. The barometer on the plane shows a reading of 210 mm. Ten minutes later, the reading increased to 410 mm. Has the plane: Increased altitude Decreased altitude Had no change in altitude Unable to determine based on information provided. 11. Air particles are as you rise through the different layers of the atmosphere. Farther apart Closer together The same distance apart 12. Which of the following best describes the force of atmospheric pressure on a blimp? Presses on the top Presses on all sides Presses on the top and bottom Presses on the left and right 13. What happens because air has weight? Air lifts objects Air pushes on objects Air drops objects Air pulls objects 14. A student climbs over a mountain rang. Which of the following describes the atmospheric pressure as the student climbs further up? The atmospheric pressure stays the same. The atmospheric pressure increases. The atmospheric pressure decreases. The atmospheric pressure changes rapidly. Lesson 2 Air Currents and Winds Sea breeze B. Land breeze C. Global Winds D. Trade winds  15. C are winds that cover the world 16. A is air that moves from the water to the land during the daytime. 17. D winds that blow between 30?N latitude and 30?S latitude which helped early explorers to sail to and fro
