LETS GET ON OUR "WATER CYCLE" AND RIDE
"WATER CYCLE" AND FORGET IT
UNDER A LOT OF "PRESSURE"
"CLOUDY" WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS
LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING
100
What is continuous movement of water called?
THE WATER CYCLE
100
Where does most of the Earth's water evaporate from?
THE OCEAN
100
What is the weight of the air in an area called?
AIR PRESSURE
100
A collection of millions of tiny water droplets or ice crystals is called a .....
CLOUD
100
The weather conditions at a certain time of day. 'We' can see outside right now.
WEATHER
200
What stage occurs when water heats up, turns into a gas and rises?
EVAPORATION
200
Once water falls to Earth it usually runs from higher to lower ground. Upon doing so, the water settles and seeps into the ground. What is this called?
GROUND WATER
200
HOT temperatures = HIGH or LOW pressure systems
LOW Pressure System
200
White, fluffy, hot weather
CUMULUS CLOUDS
200
The average weather conditions in an area over a long period of time.
CLIMATE
300
What stage occurs when water vapor condenses (comes together) and creates a cloud?
CONDENSATION
300
When you leave a cold drink out on a hot day, the outside of the glass gets wet and it will feel wet. The water that collects on the glass is an example of ....... (hint: it's one stage of the water cycle)
CONDENSATION
300
COLD temperature = HIGH or LOW pressure systems
HIGH Pressure System
300
Flat, horizontal, low altitude (low to the ground)
STRATUS CLOUDS
300
The weather symbol for warm & cold front.
WARM = HALF A SUN COLD = ICICLES
400
What stages occurs when water gets too heavy in a cloud and falls to the Earth?
PRECIPITATION
400
Which describes one way that water moves through the water cycle? A. Water falls from the sky as rain. It stays where it falls until it evaporates. B. Water falls from the sky as snow. As the snow melts, the water runs uphill. C. Water falls from the sky as rain. The water then runs downhill. D. Water falls from the sky as hail. The hail is then absorbed into the ground. CHOOSE THE CORRECT LETTER.
C. Water falls from the sky as rain. The water then runs downhill.
400
What tool is used to measure air pressure?
A. BAROMETER B. THERMOMETER C. COMPASS D. WINDSOCK
400
Grey, thunderstorms, rain
CUMULONIMBUS CLOUDS
400
Cool air flows toward the land at (DAY / NIGHT) creating a sea breeze.
DAYTIME
500
After water falls to the Earth it moves from higher ground to lower ground. This movement of water is called what?
RUN-OFF
500
Name the 4 different types of precipitation.
RAIN, SNOW, SLEET, HAIL
500
What is the weather map symbol for a LOW pressure system and the symbol for a HIGH pressure system?
L = LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM H = HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM
500
Thin, wispy, high altitude (in the sky)
CIRRUS CLOUDS
500
Cool air flows toward the ocean at (DAY / NIGHT) creating a land breeze.
