Water Cycle
When the ocean heats up by the sun's rays and the water turns into water vapor.
What is evaporation?
These clouds look like a blanket.
What are stratus clouds?
It measures the temperature.
What is a thermometer?
Liquid water falling from the sky.
What is rain?
Satellites are here and the air pressure is the lowest.
What is the exosphere?
Rain falls from the sky.
What is Precipitation.
Whispy looking clouds that look like they are painted in the sky.
What are cirrus clouds?
It measures wind speed.
What is an anemometer?
Falls as liquid water but freezes on the surface?
This layer protects from meteors and is also the coldest layer.
What is the mesosphere?
A cloud is formed.
What is condensation?
They look like cotton balls in the sky.
What are cumulus clouds?
It measures wind direction.
What is a wind vane/ wind sock?
Frozen water that melts and refreezes before hitting the ground.
What is sleet?
Aurora borealis occurs here. It is also the hottest layer and the International Space Station is here.
What is the Thermosphere?
This is where water eventually ends up.
What is collection/ run-off?
Thunderstorms.
What are cumulonimbus clouds?
It measures air pressure.
What is a barometer?
Solid precipitation (ice pellets) falling.
What is hail?
The ozone layer is here. We release weather balloons in the layer and jets cruise the bottom of this layer.
What is the stratosphere?
Water evaporates from plants by the sun's heat.
What is transpiration?
Thick clouds, close to the ground, fog.
It measures humidity (water vapor in the air)
What is a hygrometer?
Solid water falling from the sky. Very pretty!
What is snow?
All weather occurs here. Air pressure is the highest and 99% of the earth's water vapor is in this layer.
What is the troposphere?
