Precipitation Station
Any form of water that falls to Earth's surface from the clouds.
What is Precipitation?
A cycle that consists of Evaporation, Condensation and Precipitation.
What is the Water Cycle?
An intense local storm that form strong winds, heavy rain, lightening, thunder, and sometimes hail.
What are thunderstorms?
This forms between air masses of different densities.
What is a front?
This instrument measures how how or cold something is.
What is an thermometer?
What is snow?
The amount of water vapor in the air.
What is Humidity
What are Hurricanes?
This kind of front form as cold air mass pushes an existing warm air mass up.
What is a cold front?
This instrument measures the direction of the wind.
What is a weather vane?
Balls or lumps of ice fall from clouds during thunderstorms.
What is hail?
This cluster of water vapor has many types, including cirrus, cumulus, and stratus.
What are clouds?
A destructive, rotating column of air that has very high wind speeds and that is sometimes visible as a funnel-shaped cloud.
What is a tornado?
These fronts form as a warm air mass slides up over a retreating cold air mass.
What is a warm front?
This instrument measures the amount of rain fallen.
What is a rain gauge?
When rain falls through a layer of freezing air, producing falling ice.
What is sleet?
The condition of Earth's atmosphere at a certain time and place.
What is weather?
The curving of the path of a moving object from an otherwise straight path due to Earth's rotation.
What is the Coriolis Effect?
These fronts form when a cold air mass and warm air mass remain in one place.
What is a stationary front?
This instrument measure the pressure of the air.
What is a barometer?
The other two parts of the water cycle.
What is condensation and evaporation?
The long-term average weather over a period of time.
What is climate?
What is an ocean current?
These contents of air masses and their movement are relative to each other and determine the type of front.
What is temperature and moisture?
This machine measures the speed of the wind.
What is a anemometer?
