CLOUDS
Fog is this type of cloud when it is close to the ground.
What is stratus.
This takes 365 days or one year for Earth to complete.
What is revolution.
These type of weather conditions would be expected in low pressure areas.
What are cloudy and precipitation.
This air is less dense and tends to rise.
What is warm air.
This instrument is used to measure how hot or cold it is outside.
This massive cloud produces severe weather, lightning, and tornadoes.
What is a cumulonimbus cloud?
It takes Earth 24 hours or 2 day to complete this.
What is rotation.
How are air temperature, density, and the movement of air related?
A: Cold air is more dense than warm air.
B: Cold air is less dense than warm air.
C: Warm air is less dense than cold air, so it rises to create a convection cell.
D: Warm air is more dense than cold air, so it sinks to create a conduction cell.
Hot, moist air near the ground begins to rise, cool, and condense to form clouds, that produce rain when they become saturated. This is the result.
Quick rainstorms.
Meteorologists use this to indicate different types of weather fronts on a weather map.
What is lines to show the weather fronts on maps.
These thin, wispy clouds form very high in the atmosphere and are made entirely of ice crystals.
What is a cirrus cloud?
The time of year with certain weather patterns that are caused by Earth's tilt.
What is seasons.
This is the primary energy source that drives all weather events, including precipitation, hurricanes, and tornadoes.
What is the sun.
If a cold front and a warm front are moving towards each other, what weather conditions can be expected?
Failing temperature and heavy rainfall.
Meteorologists use this scientific instrument to measure changes in air pressure, which helps them predict whether the weather will be clear or stormy.
What is a barometer?
This type of stratus cloud forms closest to the ground, significantly reducing visibility for drivers.
What is fog?
The day with the most or least daylight.
What is solstice.
When cool, dry air meets warm, moist air this can form.
What is a supercell thunderstorm.
This type of weather front forms when a warm air mass and a cold air mass meet, but neither one has enough force to move the other, causing them to stall.
What is a stationary front?
This weather tool often features spinning cups that catch the breeze to measure how fast the wind is blowing.
What is an anemometer?
If you see this prefix at the start of a cloud's name, like in nimbostratus, you should grab an umbrella because it means 'rain' or 'precipitation.
What is nimbo-?
What is equinox.
If the weather conditions are persisting daily as the following, humidity is increasing, temperatures are decreasing, and barometric pressure is decreasing the region will likely experience what?
A: cooler and clear
B: cooler and wet
C: hotter and dry
D: hotter and wet
This complex front forms when a fast-moving cold air mass overtakes a warm air mass and pushes it completely upward, trapping the warm air between two colder air masses.
What is an occluded front?
This simple tool is essentially a graduated cylinder left outside to measure the amount of liquid precipitation over time.
What is a rain gauge?
