The conditions of the atmosphere at a given location for a short period of time.
What is weather?
100
This causes most local weather condition changes.
What is movement of air masses?
200
The three classes of rocks.
What are sedimentary rocks, metamorphic rocks, and igneous rocks?
200
The characteristic weather that prevails from season to season to year to year.
What is climate?
200
The movement of air masses is determined by two things.
What are prevailing winds and upper air currents?
300
Most rocks show characteristics that give clues to this.
What are their formation conditions?
300
The cause of weather.
What is the uneven heating of Earth's surface?
300
Boundaries between air masses.
What are fonts?
400
This model shows how types of rock or rock material may be transformed from one type to another.
What is the rock cycle?
400
These form when air remains nearly stationary over a large section of Earth's surface and takes on the conditions of temperature and humidity from that location.
What are air masses?
400
This is likely to occur at fonts.
What is precipation?
500
This rock can float.
What is pumice?
500
Weather conditions at a location are determined primarily by 3 things.
What are temperature, humidity, and pressure of air masses over that location?
