Which of the following best describes the physical process of erosion?

An earthquake is a physical process that most affects the

lithosphere

The climate of an area is determined by the combination of precipitation and temperature. Which of the following most affects these two factors?

Proximity to water and latitude

As a river reaches its mouth, it is often affected by incoming tides, resulting in a formation called a

delta

Temperature ranges in areas near oceans usually

do not vary much because large bodies of water warm and cool slowly

What type of climate is characteristic of temperate grassland biomes?

Seasonal shifts in temperature and variation in amounts of precipitation

Which of the following is most directly responsible for the variation in seasonal weather patterns?

Tilt of the Earths axis

Which of the following best explains how elevation influences temperature?

Higher elevations experience cooler temperatures compared to lower elevations.

The process of erosion can best be described as the movement of weathered materials by

wind, water or ice

Areas of Europe affected by a Mediterranean climate most likely experience

warm, dry summers

Based on the diagram, how does the Earth-Sun relationship affect the climate of different regions of the world?

It creates a pattern where different areas of the globe receive differing amounts of sunlight.

The biome reflected in the graph would be located in the

tropical latitudes

The landforms listed in the box are created by the physical process of

plate tectonics

How do the patterns illustrated above influence climate?

By moderating extremes in temperature

How would this barrier affect the climate on the leeward side?

The temperatures would be warm and the amount of precipitation low.

Which physical process is most responsible for creating the climate pattern shown on the map above?

Wind currents

The new Hong Kong International Airport was opened in 1998. This expensive airport was built on a large artificial island that was created by dumping millions of tons of dirt onto the surrounding seabed. Which factor contributed to the decision to use an artificial island for the new airport?

Hong Kong is very small and dense with little available land.

stationing troops throughout the American colonies

Which generalization best describes the impact of physical geography on efforts of the British government to control territory in colonial America?

Following the French and Indian War the territorial claims of Britain expanded. Why was the control of this new territory challenging for British officials?

The territory was extremely large and home to many American Indian tribes.

Based on the map, how did physical geography affect French exploration of North America?

Suppose that the throttling valve in the refrigerator of the previous problem is replaced with a small turbine-generator in which the fluid expands adiabatically, doing work that contributes to powering the compressor. Will this change affect the COP of the refrigerator? If so, by how much? Why do you suppose real refrigerators use a throttle instead of a turbine?
