To answer each question, let's break down the information and identify the correct responses.
Question 1 asks about the impact of the greenhouse effect on Earth. The greenhouse effect is caused by certain gases in Earth's atmosphere trapping heat from the sun, resulting in a warming effect. The correct response is "It allows for oceans to warm up quicker than land." This is because water has a higher heat capacity than land, so it absorbs and retains heat more effectively.
Question 2 asks which statement demonstrates radiation of heat. Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves. The correct response is "Mr. Smith keeps his baby chicks warm on a cold night by turning on an infrared heat lamp bulb in their coop." Infrared radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation that emits heat.
Question 3 asks which type of ray causes sunburn. Sunburn is caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. The correct response is "ultraviolet."
Question 4 asks what makes precipitation and runoff possible. Precipitation occurs when water vapor in the atmosphere condenses and falls as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. Runoff refers to the flow of water over the land surface. The correct response is "gravity" because gravity pulls moisture down from the atmosphere as precipitation and helps it flow as runoff.
Question 5 presents a scenario with air temperature and relative humidity. Relative humidity refers to the amount of water vapor present in the air compared to the maximum amount it can hold at a given temperature. The correct response is "The amount of water vapor in the air is 90% of what the air can hold." This indicates that the air is nearly saturated with water vapor, as the relative humidity is high.
