How does altitude affect relative humidity?It decreases with altitudeIt remains constantIt increases with altitudeIt fluctuates randomlyQuestion 3 of 204. What kind of clouds are most commonly seen at sunset, reflecting bright colors?CirrostratusAltocumulusCirrusStratocumulusQuestion 4 of 205. Which weather condition is typically associated with low relative humidity?Foggy morningsHot desert climatesCloudy skiesHeavy rainfallQuestion 5 of 206. What happens when warm, moist air rises rapidly?It contracts and dries outIt expands and cools, forming cloudsIt remains at the same temperatureIt increases its moisture contentQuestion 6 of 207. How do cumulonimbus clouds get their dark appearance?They contain high levels of dustThey are composed of dense water dropletsThey reflect more sunlightThey are at very high altitudesQuestion 7 of 208. Why is relative humidity higher in the morning than in the afternoon?Temperature is lower in the morningThere is more sunlight in the morningWinds are stronger at nightEvaporation stops at nightQuestion 8 of 209. Which of the following is NOT a type of high-altitude cloud?CirrusCirrocumulusCirrostratusNimbostratusQuestion 9 of 2010. Why do clothes dry faster on a windy day?Wind decreases temperatureWind increases the rate of evaporationWind adds moisture to the airWind decreases air pressureQuestion 10 of 2011. What is the difference between dew and frost?Dew forms at high temperatures, frost at low temperaturesDew is liquid, frost is solidDew forms in the afternoon, frost at nightDew is water vapour, frost is ice vapourQuestion 11 of 2012.
