This has the greatest effect on wind speed.
What is air pressure?

What are genes?
100
Shows how energy is passed from producers to consumers.
What is a food chain?
100
Color, shape, size and texture are examples of this.
What are qualitative properties?
200
A force which draws objects toward its center.
What is gravity?
200
The instrument that measures wind speed.
What is an anemometer?
200
This system is composed of the heart and the blood vessels— arteries, veins, and capillaries. Its purpose is to provide nutrients and oxygen to the tissues and to remove wastes from them.
What is the circulatory system?
200
Any group of living and nonliving things interacting with one another; there are both terrestrial and aquatic types.
What is an ecosystem?
200
Energy from this is the driving force for most biotic (living) and abiotic (nonliving) cycles on the surface of Earth.
What is the sun?
300
A force that opposes motion.
What is friction?
300
Air moving (sometimes with considerable force) from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure.
What is an air current?
300
The material found in genes that carries all the information about how a living thing will look and function.
What is DNA?
300
Similar ecosystems throughout the world grouped together based on climate factors; some examples include the tundra, taiga, deciduous forests and tropical rainforests.
What is a biome?
300
The process in which water vapor cools (loses heat energy) and changes into tiny liquid drops of water.
What is condensation?
400
The measure of gravity's force on an object.
What is weight?
400
Relatively narrow bands of strong wind in the upper levels of the atmosphere.
What are jet streams?
400
A living thing made up of one or more cells and able to carry on the activities of life (as using energy, growing, or reproducing).
What is an organism?
400
Use photosynthesis to make their food; examples include plants, bacteria and sometimes algae.
What is a producer?
400
A flow, or oscillation, of unusually cooler water temperatures in the Pacific Ocean.
What is La Nina?
500
The rate at which an object changes its velocity (speed/direction).
What is acceleration?
500
The weather expected with these condition---
• dark, cloudy skies
• air pressure falling rapidly
• temperatures in the 60s
falling to 50s
• high humidity
What is a rain storm?
500
Algae, bacteria, phytoplankton, yeast, and amoeba are examples of this.
What is unicellular?

These are three types of consumers and their roles.
What are ...
Primary consumers-Animal that consumes producers
Secondary consumers-Predator, or animal that feeds on a primary consumer
Tertiary consumers- animal that feeds on animals that eat other animals.
