Directions: Choose from the given choices. Write your answer in a properly labeled answer
sheet.
1. Warm air is (less, more) dense and (sinks, rises), while cool air is (less, more) dense
and (sinks, rises).
2. The rising and sinking of air creates (radiation, conduction, convection) currents.
3. The (greater, lesser) the difference in air pressure, the faster the wind moves.
4. When air rises, it creates an area of (low, high) pressure; when air sinks, it creates an
area of (low, high) pressure.
5. Air moves from areas of (low, high) pressure to areas of (low, high) pressure.
6. The Coriolis Effect is the perceived change in the direction of currents caused by Earth’s
(tilt, size, rotation).
7. Because of the Coriolis Effect, winds in the Northern Hemisphere curve to the (left,
right); while winds in the Southern Hemisphere curve to the (left, right) from the direction
that the wind was moving.
