Climate Change
This refers to the longtime change in typical global weather and temperature patterns.
What is climate change?
This layer of atmosphere is the closest to the surface of the Earth and where clouds, wind, and weather all form.
What is the troposphere?
This kind of air is cold and dry.
What is high pressure air?
This measurement tells us the amount of water vapor in the air.
What is absolute humidity?
When ice pellets grow to larger than 1/4 of an inch in diameter, they become this kind of weather.
What is hail?
These are the three countries that emit the most greenhouse gases.
What are China, the US, and India?
These kinds of gases trap heat inside the Earth, contributing to climate change.
What are greenhouse gases?
This step of the water cycle tells us how clouds are formed.
What is condensation?
This "curl of hair" in the sky is formed when water vapor sticks to rocky or metallic particles in the troposphere.
What are cirrus clouds?
This is the reason haze decreases visibility, different from how mist and fog do the same thing.
What is air pollution?
For individual countries, this is the largest contributor for greenhouse gas emissions.
What is electricity and heat?
These human-made chemicals can deplete the ozone layer.
What are CFCs and BFCs?
This is the gaseous state of water that forms from evaporation.
What is water vapor?
This measurement tells us the percentage of water vapor in the air compared to its maximum amount.
What is relative humidity?
These two storms both form from cumulonimbus clouds.
What are thunderstorms and tornados?
Alongside solar and water energy, this is one of the renewable energy resources that help countries rely less on fossil fuels.
What is wind energy?
This portion of the stratosphere protects the Earth from harmful UV radiation.
What is the ozone layer?
Wind always flows in this direction.
What is from high-pressure to low-pressure?
If it's rain, it's coming from this type of cloud.
What is nimbus?
These two factors are what make blizzards different from snow storms.
What are high wind speeds and low visibility?
This industry is the second-largest polluter, just behind the gas and oil industry.
What is the fashion industry?
This is the order of the layers of the atmosphere from closest to farthest from the surface of the Earth.
What is troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere?
These are the four main ways precipitation typically occurs.
What are rain, snow, sleet, and hail?
This cloud is a "layer" over the sky, if Latin has anything to say about it.
What is stratus?
These are the three parts of a wildfire that make them different from typical, contained fires.
What are unplanned, uncontrolled, and unpredictable?
