Question 2
Approximately what was the hottest temperature recorded in the United States?
143 degrees F 1922
134 degrees F 1913
147 degrees F 1876
167 degrees F 2013
153 degrees F 1776
Question 3 Approximately what was the coldest recorded temperature in the 48 states of
the United States? (Not counting Alaska)?
-85 degrees F New York City 1911
-80 degrees F Utah 2003
-95 degrees F Hawaii 1826
-45 degrees F Ryndon, Nevada 2002
-70 degres F Montana 1954
Question 4
What would happen to the reading of an aneroid barometer if taken to the top of Elko Mountain
from sea level?
the reading would increase
the reading would first drop and then increase
The reading would drop
the reading would first increase and then drop
the reading would stay the same
Question 5
If a dry bulb temperature is recorded as 80 degrees and a wet bulb is recorded as 65 degrees,
what is the relative humidity? about 88
about 48
about 42
about 75
about 67
Question 6
Sometimes we hear on the weather report that the "barometer is falling". What does this exactly
mean concerning the weather?
There is a good chance of sunny days
The barometer fell off the hook
The barometer shows that the humidity is lower
There is a good chance of rain
Temperatures will drop tonight
Question 7
Surprisingly, the hottest temperature in the western hemisphere is not found in a region on the
Equator but is located within the United States at Death Valley. Why is it so hot?
Death Valley is heated by many volcanoes
Death Valley has primordial heat left over from the formation of the Earth
Death Valley is heated by the smog from Los Angeles
Death Valley is heated by the government wasting electricity from nearby Hoover Dam
Sunlight radiates from the steep mountains into the valley's depths trapping heat.
Question 8
Our humidity measuring device used two thermometers. What was the purpose of the small
cloth or sock around the bulb of the second thermometer?
to see how much hotter the bulb is the hotter the less the humidity
see how much pressure is on the bulb, the more pressure the more humidity
To see how much cooler the water makes the bulb the cooler the less humidity
to see how much darker the bulb is, the darker the more humidity
to see how much wetter the bulb is, the wetter the more humidity
Question 9
We have all seen weather vanes on top of barns and roofs. Not only are they pretty to look at
they are actually functional devices. Most typical weather vanes have an arrow that swings
around and points a wind related direction. Using your brainpower that was expanded in this
class, what exact direction does the arrow point to? The arrow points to the direction that the winds comes from
All arrows point to Rome
The arrow points to the direction the wind is blowing to
The arrow points to the higher pressure region
The arrow points the region of greater humidity
The arrow points at right angles to the winds blowing direction
Question 10
Lucky Jim and Serina walking hand in hand one summer evening up by the lake use a wet and
dry bulb humidity gauge take the following temperature measurements: Dry bulb: 100 degrees
F (it was a warm evening). Wet bulb: 78 degrees F. Determine the humidity when these
measurements were taken.
about 50%
about 20%
about 55%
about 40%
about 10%
about 30%
