In an experiment, you were instructed to equally heat a sample of soil and a sample of water with heat lamps and then measure the temperature of each sample once a minute, for eight minutes. Suppose that the experiment yielded the results shown in the table below.
Which of the following predictions is best supported by the data?
Question options:
The temperature of the soil would rise at a faster average rate than the water because soil heats up faster than water.
The temperatures of the soil and the water would rise at the same average rate because the same light is being used to heat it up.
The temperature of the soil would not rise at all over the next time period because the soil temperature has reached its maximum temperature.
The temperature of the water would rise at a faster average rate than the soil because water heats up faster than soil.
The temperature of the soil would rise at a faster average rate than the water because soil heats up faster than water.
Which best describes the Coriolis Effect?
Question options:
As the sun rises and sets, the path of the wind all over Earth changes directions.
As the air pressure on the Earth's poles changes, the wind at the Equator becomes stronger.
As cool air warms up, it rises, and as warm air cools down, it sinks, creating a breeze.
As it spins on its axis, the Earth pulls the wind and causes it to blow in a curved path.
