Weather Patterns
Large body of air circulating with HIGH pressure at its center and lower pressure outside the system
What is High Pressure system?
This climate zone includes ice cap regions like Antarctica and Greenland, where temperatures stay below freezing, and tundras such as northern Alaska and Siberia, where only hardy plants can survive the short, cool summers.
What is Polar Climate?
Found in places like Chicago with humid summers, Moscow with snowy winters, and parts of Minnesota, this climate type is marked by four distinct seasons and greater extremes in temperature than marine climates.
What is a Temperate Continental Climate?
Often seen on TV as “weather men,” these scientists study the atmosphere and forecast conditions like rain, storms, and temperature changes.
What is a meteorologist?
The largest planet in our solar system is this one.
What is Jupiter?
Large bodies of AIR that have uniform temperature, humidity and pressure
What is Air mass?
This climate type includes arid regions, such as deserts, and semi-arid regions, such as steppes, both known for very little precipitation and extreme temperature changes. .
What is Dry Climate?
According to the major climate classification system, there are this many primary climate types on Earth, including Tropical, Dry, Temperate Marine, Temperate Continental, Polar, and Highland.
What is 6?
This term describes the climate of a very small, specific area, such as a city park, a garden, or a valley, which can differ noticeably from the surrounding region.
What is Microclimate?
The only bird that can fly backwards
What is a hummingbird?
Rapidly, whirling, funnel-shaped cloud that reaches down from a storm cloud and touches the Earth's surfaces formed when thunderstorm updrafts begin to rotate
What is Tornado?
Found in mountainous regions such as the Rocky Mountains, the Andes, and the Himalayas, this climate varies with elevation, with cooler temperatures and different weather patterns than surrounding lowlands.
What is highland climate?
This geographic measurement, which indicates how far north or south a location is from the equator, greatly affects temperature and climate patterns around the world.
What is latitude?
Rain, snow, sleet, and hail are all examples of this form of water that falls from the sky
What is precipitation?
Number of bones in the human body?
What is 206?
What front is it when : Cold air moves under warm air, forcing warm air up
What is Cold Front?
This tropical climate has rain year-round, while its cousin has distinct wet and dry seasons.
What are Tropical Wet and Tropical Wet-and-Dry climates?
Regions near this imaginary line around Earth are generally hot year-round, while areas near the poles are cold.
What is the equator?
This type of radar helps meteorologists detect precipitation, track storms, and measure wind speed, often giving real-time updates during severe weather.
What is Doppler radar?
The hardest rock on earth
What is a Diamond?
this type of front forms when a cold mass meets a warm mass BUT neither have enough force to move the other (hint: what is the bike called that doesn't move?)
what is stationary front?
This climate type includes the Marine West Coast of Seattle, the Humid Subtropical of Georgia, and the Mediterranean climate of coastal California, all marked by mild temperatures and varying rainfall patterns.
What is a Temperate Marine Climate?
Being close to or far from large bodies of water affects temperature because water heats and cools more slowly than land.
What is distance from oceans (or proximity to water)?
This type of report measures temperature, humidity, and wind conditions high in the atmosphere using instruments attached to weather balloons, helping meteorologists forecast the weather.
What is upper air report?
The main gas that humans breathe in to survive
What is Oxygen?
