What is precipitation?
Rain, Sleet, Snow that falls from the clouds.
1. seed goes into the ground or flower pot
2. soil needs to cover the seed.
3. water the flower
4. sun helps the flower produce sugar
A person that predicts the weather using data, technology and previous weather patterns.
What is a Anemometer?
Measures Wind Speed.
Dark clouds that may cause thunderstorms or lightning?
Nimbus clouds
What is Evaporation?
Evaporation is when water vapor rises from the sea because of the sun.
What does a plant need to grow
1. water
2. sun
3. Sugar
What are Climate Zones?
Tropical, Temperate, Polar
What measures AIR PRESSURE?
Barometer
What is a stratus cloud?
What is Condensation?
Gas or water vapor changes into liquid. Helps create clouds.
What is the process called where the seed starts to grow?
Germination
What is Wind direction?
The way the wind blows. The direction it flows.
Hygrometer
Measures Humidity or moisture in the air.
The moisture is the wet feeling in the air.

What is the water that pours or runs into a stream, river?
Runoff
What is the process that green plants use sunlight to make or synthesize foods from CO2 and Water?
Photosynthesis
What tool is used to measure rain or PreCIPitation.
Rain Gauge
What are the steps in the Water Cycle?
1. Collection of water..the ocean.
2. The Sun causes Evaporation to take place.
3. The Water Vapor or gas floats upwards in the atmosphere. Transpiration occurs here too. Plants release CO2/Gas.
4. Condensation occurs. Clouds are made here.
5. Clouds get cool and heavy and start to loose mass and then
6. PreCIPitation occurs. RAIN/Sleet..
7. Runoff into the ground, rivers, streams, and then Collects again.
Fluffy, lightning, blanket, feathery etc.
What starts the water cycle?
The Sun. The heat causes the water to evaporate
What is Transpiration?
Where plants exhale the water vapor and it helps the continuous process of the water cycle.
Boundaries where cold and warm air masses meet. Storms usually occur here.
How are Clouds formed?
They are formed by water vapor in the atmosphere and then Condensation of dust, gas, particles create the cloud etc.
