Another word for a "large hill"
What is a Mountain
100
If a wind is carried over land rather then over water, it will most likely be (dry/moist)
What is Dry
100
As surface currents move, they carry warm of cool water to the (same/different) locations.
What is Different
100
If you were going to move somewhere across the globe with no prior knowledge of weather conditions there, would you most likely want to know the weather or the climate?
What is Climate
100
What is Florida's climate?
What is Mostly Warm
200
If you were to go and live on mountain and you liked lush land and green trees, would you live on the Wet Side or the Dry Side?
What is Wet Side
200
Prevailing winds will turn into precipitation while going up a mountain when the wind is (warmed/cooled)
What is Cooled
200
Cool Surface currents result in tempertures that are (warmer/cooler)
What is Cooler
200
If Prevailing winds are blowing from the left, is the left or right side of the mountain going to be more lush?
What is Left Side
200
What is the weather for today?
What is (whatever the weather is)
300
After dry air crosses the mountain, the air begins to sink, warming and absorbing moisture as it sinks. The dry conditions created by the sinking, warm air usually produce a desert.
What is The Dry Side
300
Prevailing winds will hold more moisture when the air is (warmer/colder)
What is Warmer
300
Warm surface currents result in temperatures that are (warmer/cooler)
What is Warmer
300
As cold air sinks, it begins to (warm/cool) and becomes (more dense/less dense)
What is Warm/Less Dense
300
If you were visiting a place somewhere across the globe for only a week with no prior knowledge of weather conditions, would you most likely want to know the weather forecast or the climate?
What is Weather Forecast
400
Mountains force air to rise. The air cools as it rises, releasing moisture as snow or rain. The land on the windward side of the mountain is usually green and lush due to the wind losing it's moisture.
What is The Wet Side
400
Cold air sinking and warm air rising.
What is Convection
400
This continent has only cold surface currents surrounding it.
What is Antarctica
400
The forecast for only a short amount of time.
What is Weather
400
Water turning into vapor and becoming part of the continuous water cycle
What is Evaporation
500
The height of surface landforms above sea level.
What is Elevation
500
Winds that blow from mostly one direction. These influence an area's moisture and temperature.
What is Prevailing Winds
500
Streamlike movements of water that occur at or neat the surface of the ocean. They can be either warm or cold.
What is Surface Currents
500
Weather of an area in general (year-round)
What is Climate
500
The falling of rain, snow, or sleet.
