Question 11: Which statement about the Coriolis force is TRUE? a. It influences both direction of movement as well as the speed of an object. b. It causes any freely moving object to turn to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. c. It affects things that are moving up and down (vertically) as well as across the surface of the Earth (horizontally). c. A fast-moving object is deflected less than a slower-moving object (in other words, the faster the air or liquid moves, the weaker the Coriolis force becomes). ___________________________________________________________ Question 16: In the lowest layer of the atmosphere, both temperature and pressure normally decrease as altitude increases. a. True b. False ___________________________________________________________ Question 18: Rising air is considered to be unstable if it is: a. cooling at the dry adiabatic lapse rate (DALR). b. warmer than the surrounding air. c. the same temperature as the surrounding air. d. cooler than the surrounding air..
