The Fahrenheit scale is considered to be the LEAST useful temperature scale for scientific purposes because:
 
  A) the Celsius scale was created first, and so has a longer tradition with the scientific community.
  B) the original fixed points for the scale were arbitrarily (and poorly) chosen, giving 0F no real meaning.
  C) it is too difficult to convert Fahrenheit data into the Celsius scale.
  D) the modern Fahrenheit scale does not properly identify the steam point of water.
 
  Complete the following temperature conversions using the appropriate formulas.

Question 2

Which of the following lists the stages of the mid-latitude cyclone life cycle in the proper order?
 
  A) occlusion, dissipation, open-wave, cyclogenesis B) cyclogenesis, open-wave, occlusion, dissipation
  C) cyclogenesis, open-wave, dissipation, occlusion D) open-wave, occlusion, cyclogenesis, dissipation
