This document contains a 10 question weather quiz about air masses, fronts, and weather patterns. The quiz questions cover topics like how studying weather maps helps scientists, the definition of a front, how temperature is affected during cold and warm fronts, types of weather associated with high and low pressure systems, typical weather conditions during hurricanes, the coldest season in North Carolina, the most common precipitation in North Carolina, identifying fair weather based on descriptions, which front type brings prolonged clouds and precipitation, and predicting weather when a cold air mass interacts with a warm air mass. The answers to the 10 multiple choice questions are provided at the end.

INTRODUCTION
This lab module explores the global surface and air temperatures of Earth and
Earth’s atmosphere. Topics include the structure of the atmosphere, local and
global factors influencing temperature, and temperature anomalies. The modules
start with four opening topics, or vignettes, which are found in the accompanying
Google Earth file. These vignettes introduce basic concepts of the internal structure
of the Earth. Some of the vignettes have animations, videos, or short articles that
will provide another perspective or visual explanation for the topic at hand. After
reading the vignette and associated links, answer the following questions. Please
note that some links might take a while to download based on your Internet speed.

northern latitudes (for example, Canada, Iceland, Norway, and Russia)
compare to those of northern Africa (for example, Algeria, Egypt, Libya,
Morocco, and Sudan)?
A. The temperatures are higher in the northern latitudes during summer
months when net radiation is higher.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
