Wonderful Water Cycle
This is the process by which liquid water turns into gas.
What is evaporation?
On a day that is warmer than 0 degrees Celsius, this is the most likely type of precipitation.
What is rain?
The area around the equator is this type of climate zones, the most hot year-round.
What is tropical?
This tool is used to measure air temperature.
What is a thermometer?
This type of disaster often occurs near the equator, where warm water and wind create the perfect storm.
What is a hurricane?
Brr! On a day in which temperatures fall below 0 degrees Celsius, you are most likely to see this type of precipitation.
What is snow?

What is sleet?
This climate zone has the most variation in temperature throughout the year.
What is temperate?
What is an anemometer?
These disasters often occur in hot, dry environments.
What is a wildfire?
Can take the form of rain, snow, sleet or hail, depending on the weather of course.
What is precipitation?
This type of precipitation can occur in both warm and cold weather and is caused by strong winds that blow liquid water high into the clouds where it freezes into large clumps.
A rainforest and a desert may have similar temperatures, but what does the rainforest have more of?
What is precipitation/humidity?
This tool tells you air pressure.
What is a barometer?
These are rapidly rotating columns of air. Stay inside if there's a warning for one!
Heat from this is the main energy source powering the water cycle.
A low pressure day is associated with this type of weather.
What is stormy?
This type of environment is often called a "cold desert."
What is a tundra?
This tool measures the amount of precipitation.
What is a rain gauge?
Having enough food, moving objects indoors, and preparing a to-go bag are examples of one of these types of plans.
