100
This is the transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves
What is radiation?
100
band of clouds/boundary between 2 air masses
What is a Front?
100
These are the first four layers of the atmosphere, from Earth's surface up.
What are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere and thermosphere?
100
Moving air caused by differing pressures
What is wind?
100
These are large, spiraling storms with winds above 74 miles(240 Km) per hour.
What are hurricanes?
200
This is the transfer of thermal energy from one material to another by direct contact.
What is conduction?
200
change in the direction of moving air, water, or objects due to Earth`s rotation
What is Coriolis effect?
200
This is the name of the layer where Earth's weather occurs.
What is the troposphere?
200
other names for hurricane.
What is a Typhoon or Cyclone?
200
These are rapidly whirling, funnel-shaped clouds that touch Earth's surface.
What are tornadoes?
300
This is the tranfer of thermal energy by the circulation or movement of a liquid or gas.
What is convection?
300
this brings wet weather.
What is low pressure system?
300
This is the hottest layer of the atmosphere.
What is the thermosphere?
300
Winds move from areas of (low to high) (or high to low) pressure
What is high to low?
300
These are the three main types of fronts.
What are cold fronts, warm fronts and stationary fronts?
400
Burning your foot on hot pavement is an example of this
What is conduction?
400
the amount of radiation reflected by a surface
What is albedo?
400
This is the layer protects us from ultraviolet radiation and exists between the troposphere and stratosphere.
What is the ozone layer?
400
Narrow belts of high speed winds that blow in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere
What are jet streams?
400
Clouds and rains are caused by this
What is a warm, moist, low pressure air mass?
500
The average kinetic energy that an object possesses
What is temperature?
500
Low pressure air masses will move in this manner. (rise or fall)
What is rise?
500
This layer of the atmosphere has the greatest air pressure
What is the troposphere?
500
usually occurs during the late morning along coastal regions
What is onshore breeze?
500
Clear and sunny skies are caused by this
What is a cold and dry high pressure air mass
