1.

Oceans contain 97% of Earth’s water -True

2. Heat released to the atmosphere by the oceans is an important source of heat
to the Pacific region-True
3.  Water has four (4) states: Liquid, Solid, Gaseous and Plasma states. False

4. Orographic precipitation, such as rain, snow, or other precipitation are produced

when moist air is lifted as it moves over a mountain range. As the air rises and cools,
orographic clouds form and serve as the source of the precipitation, most of which
falls upwind or windward side of the mountain ridge.- True

 5.Air pressure is exerted in all directions— down, up, and sideways. The air pressure
pushing down on an object exactly balances the air pressure pushing up on the
object.True
6. Wind is the result of horizontal differences in air pressure. TRUE
7.Air flows from areas of lower pressure to areas of higher pressure.FALSE
8. The unequal heating of Earth’s surface generates pressure differences in the
atmosphere. TRUE
