Soal Bahasa Inggris + jawaban :)

high mountain barries, cold ocean currents and high pressure systems cause desert to remain dry.

when warm air passes over the ocean, it picks up mointure in the form of water vapor. as this moist air travels over land, it rises to pass over mountain renges. when it begins to rise, the air cools and this causes the water vapor to condense into droplets, which fall as rain. when the air reaches the other side of the mountain barrier, it has lost all its moisture, so the other side of the mountain remains dry.

air passing over cold ocean currents is cooled and therefore, unable to pick up and hold much moisture. when this cold air mass reaches the warm desert, any moisture in the air is evaporated and it does not fall as rain. so the desert remains dry.

in high pressure system, the air is dry and is moving downwardds. as this system moves over land, it draws the moisture from the land surface. consenquently, the moisture does not fall as rain, so the desert remains dry.

1. the desert remains dry because...............
a. the moisture falls as rain
b. the air keeps all its moisture
c. the air evaporates into moisture
d. the moisture evaporates in the warm temperature
e. the dry air picks up the moisture from the land surface

2. the main idea of paragraph 3 is.....................
a. the air cold ocean currents can not pick up and hold much moisture.
b. the cold moisture is unable to reach the desert
c. rain water evaporates in warm desert
d. a warm desert absorbs cold air and it becomes dry
e. air in warm desert vaporizes in cold areas

3. what happens when moist air rises and passes the mountain ranges?
a. the cold ocean currents suck them again
b. the air cycle begins and ends in rain.
c. the cool air makes it condensed and fall as rain.
d. the high pressure system changes them into droplets
e. it loses all its moisture

4. "....it has lost all its moisture." (paragrap 2). what does 'it' refer to?
a. the mountain barrier
b. water vapor
c. the rain
d. droplet.
e. the air

5. whart is the purpose of the text?
a. to explain how rain happens
b. to describe what a desert is
c. to explain how the air moves
d. to explain why the desert remain dry
e. to describe the relationship between the ocean and desert
