60 degrees Celsius is this many degrees Fahrenheit.
°F = (9/5)°C + 32
What is 140 deg. F?
100
This is weather associated with a high pressure center.
What is cool and clear?
100
The uneven heating of the Earth by the sun and the Earth's own rotation, resulting in varied temperatures and pressures, result in this movement of the air.
What is "wind?"
100
This is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular region.
What is climate?
100
Boarding up windows would be one emergency action most likely taken to prepare for which natural disaster?
Earthquake, Hurricane, Flood, or Tsunami?
What is hurricane?
200
As temperature increases, in an open system, this is what density of a gas does.
What is decreases?
200
This type of front extends northwest from location Y.
What is a stationary front?
200
This is used to measure wind velocity.
What is an anemometer?
200
A rotating funnel cloud that stretches down and touches the ground is called this.
What is a tornado?
200
This gas in Earth's mid-to-upper atmosphere is beneficial to humans because it absorbs large amounts of ultraviolet radiation.
What is ozone? (O3)
300
This is the two-letter weather map symbol for the type of air mass that would originally form over the Gulf of Mexico and move up into the United States.
What is mT?
300
The map shows a composite of Doppler radar images. Darker shadings indicate the precipitation pattern of a large storm system. The air is rising overall. The surface wind circulation pattern around the center of this storm system is described by these two directions. 
What are inward and counter-clockwise?
[Half-credit for only one of them.]
300
Gases move from areas of ___________ to areas of ____________, resulting in wind.
What is (areas of) high pressure to (areas of) low pressure?
300
All hurricanes start as this and decline back into this.
What is tropical storm?
300
According to the map, which of these cities receives the greatest average annual snowfall? Buffalo, Jamestown, Niagara Falls, Elmira 
What is Jamestown?
400
Of the following diagrams, which one represents a cold front? 
What is this one?
400
This map information indicates that the wind velocity is greater at location Z than at location X.
What is something akin to "The isobars are closer together at Z?"
400
The weather map below shows a storm centered north of Iceland. Isobars are labeled in millibars. Of A, B, C, and D, this point was probably experiencing the highest wind speed. 
What is A?
400
This wind found near the tropopause helps send weather systems generally west to east in North America.
What is jet stream?
400
These changes in air temperature and atmospheric pressure will normally be recorded by a weather balloon when it is released at Earth’s surface and rises through the troposphere.
What is a decrease in both air temperature and atmospheric pressure?
500
The map shows a low-pressure system. Between points U, V, W, X, Y, and Z, these two most likely have the warmest air temperatures.
What are W & X?
(Half-credit if only one correct point)
500
If the center of the low-pressure system follows a normal storm track, toward which labeled city would the center of this low least likely move? 
What is Buffalo?
500
The weather map below shows air-pressure readings given in millibars. Points A, B, C, and D are locations on Earth’s surface. This location is where surface wind speed is the lowest.
What is C?
500
The diagram represents a simplified model of the incoming (solar) and outgoing (terrestrial) electromagnetic radiation of Earth’s energy budget. Name two major greenhouse gases that absorb outgoing long-wave radiation within the atmosphere. 
What are methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2)?
500
Solar energy warms the Earth, and the Earth emits its own energy to air molecules when they come in direct contact with the Earth’s surface. This type of heat transfer that takes place through direct contact between two objects is called this.
What is conduction?
