100
The condition of the atmosphere at a specific time and place.
What is weather?
100
The movement of air from high to low pressure.
What is wind?
100
Fast moving particles with little attraction.
What is gas?
100
When liquid water changes into gas and goes into the air.
What is evaporation?
100
Spinning like a top (Earth's spin).
What is rotation?
200
Over oceans during the warmer months.
When and where would you be most likely to find a hurricane.
200
Large bodies of stagnant air.
What are air masses?
200
Medium speed molecules that slide past each other randomly.
What is liquid?
200
Water that falls from the sky.
What is precipitation?
200
Movement of one object around another (orbit).
What is revolution?
300
The layer of the atmosphere that weather happens.
What is the troposphere?
300
When it passes, the weather changes quickly.
What happens when a cold front passes by?
300
Slow wiggling particles the vibrate in place.
What is a solid?
300
Particles on which water vapor condenses in the air.
What is condensation nuclei?
300
Because the Earth is on a tilted axis.
Why do seasons happen?
400
Over land during the cooler months.
When and where are you most likely to find a blizzard?
400
It's density decreases because the air particles spread out more.
What happens when air gets warmer?
400
A tiny bit of matter.
What is a particle?
400
When plants give off water.
What is transpiration?
400
Days with 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness.
What is an equinox?
500
The average weather condition over a long period of time.
What is climate?
500
The air moves in a convection current.
What happens when a portion of air is warmer than another?
500
They move faster and heat up.
What happens to the particles of gas when they are compressed?
500
A series of processes that cause water to move from one place to another.
What is the water cycle?
500
If this happened there would be no seasons.
What would happen if the Earth had no tilt?
