Wind
Wind is a cooler gust of air.
Why do the warm air masses always rise?
Warm air masses are less dense.
Which Pressure System results in air rising and why?
Why is Neptune the coldest Planet?
It is the farthest planet from the Sun.
What is the difference of Kinetic and Potential Energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion, while potential energy is stored energy an object has based on its position or configuration.
What is the speed of wind that can cause a tornado
80-200 mph
Draw and label the way air masses move in a cold front and warm front.
What do the air particles look like in a high pressure system?
See whiteboards.
What is the coldest Planet?
Neptune.
Potential Energy.
What measures wind speed and pressure?
Anemometer
Which direction do the air masses in a cold front move?
Towards each other
What measures Air Pressure?
Barometer.
How do Scientists think the red dust on Mars was formed?
Chemicals mixed with the water that used to be there. (And rusted Iron Minerals)
What does MELTS stand for?
Mechanical, Electrical, Light, Thermal, Sound
Which direction does wind move?
High pressure to low pressure
Why is it more difficult for warm fronts to push through cold fronts?
The cold fronts are more dense. (almost like it weighs more)
Addition or Subtraction of Heat.
Where is Pluto Located?
The kuiper belt.
Which 2 types of energy does a bulb produce?
Light and Heat
What causes wind?
Wind is caused from high pressure air moving to where the low pressure air was. (low pressure air left the open space because it was rising)
What is the definition of a weather front?
The edge of 2 air masses.
Why do we not feel Air Pressure?
The air inside and outside our bodies is about the same as the atmospheric pressure outside.
Which Planets have rings?
Uranus and Saturn.
Why do we see shadows, and what is a shadow?
There is a source of light and an object that blocks that light. Which causes shadows to form.
Shadows are when an opaque object or material is placed in the path of rays of light.
