Name that Description
200

Oh no! It's begun to rain. I am this characteristic of weather.

Precipitation

200

I'm the part of the water cycle when water comes out of the sky in the form of rain, sleet, hail, or snow

Precipitation

200

I'm a group of fuels that you have because millions of years ago organisms died and got buried in the ground.

Fossil Fuels

200

Man...it's 85O outside. I'm sure glad I checked this before going out.

Thermometer

200

I'm a BIG red 'H'

High air pressure

400

Is that the sun going out? No, it is just these things that form when water vapor condenses around dust in the air

Cloud/Fog

400

Bring your kites! When I am moving REALLY fast, I can get a kite really high into the air.

Wind

400

I'm easy to access. Put a panel on your roof and make sure there are no clouds or else I won't work.

Solar

400

Oh man! Look at the wind...it is blowing to the SouthWest (SW). I'm glad we have one of these to help us.

Wind Vane or Wind Sock

400

Careful! My big, blue triangles are sharp!

Cold Front

600

No, I'm not your brother but I am the amount of water vapor in the air compared to the temperature.

Relative Humidity

600
I'm pretty important. I tell you when the air is full of water vapor and if you go below me, it may start to rain.

Dew Point

600

You have to dig deep to find me. Maybe send water down into the ground to turn to steam for generating electricity

Geothermal

600

Oh man...look at how FAST the wind is blowing...45 mph! That is sure ins-"ane" and I hope we don't get blown away

Anemometer

600

I can't decide what color and shape I am...sometimes I am red semi-circles while other times I am blue triangles

Stationary Front

800

Man. It is hot out here. There must be A LOT of energy in the air.

Temperature

800

I happen over any body of water when the water turns to gas and rises into the air

Evaporation

800

Hmm...be careful with me. I come from uranium and if you use me up then you've got waste to deal with

Nuclear

800

Oh wow. The Air pressure gets lower as you higher into the air....glad we used this to find out...it really helped us set the 'bar'

Barometer

800

Man.....I'm just a Big Blue L

Low Air Pressure

1000

Man....my ears just popped. I must have less air pressing down on me.

Air Pressure

1000

I'm the part of the water cycle when the water begins to cool and turn back into a liquid, forming clouds.

Condensation

1000

Need power from me? Just build a dam and let the flow do its work. Just make sure it always rains.

Water/Hydroelectric

1000

My hair! It is ruined because of all the humidity. That instrument we used to check it didn't help us at all... my face is all 'wet' from sweat

Wet Bulb

1000

I look like a bunch of hills with my red semi-circles
