What is Tornado?
100

What is Troposphere?
100
Identify this process which allows organic material to convert light energy into food for it self.
What is Photosynthesis?
100
The process by which water vapor becomes a liquid; the opposite of evaporation, which is the conversion of liquid to vapor.
What is Condensation?
200
A water substance in the solid phase.
What is Ice?
200
Heavy snow accumulating at a rate of at least 5 centimeters 2 in) per hour, and very cold conditions below approximately -10 degrees Celsius or 14 F.
What is Blizzard?
200
The coldest layer.
What is Mesosphere?

What is Fossil Fuels?
200
The falling of condensation from the clouds.
What is Precipitation?
300
The warming of the atmosphere by the trapping of longwave radiation (heat) being radiated to space. The gases most responsible for this effect are water vapor and carbon dioxide.
What is Greenhouse Effect?
300
A type of storm that precipitates round chunks of ice.

What is Exosphere?
400
A naturally occurring element composed of one carbon and two oxygen.
What is Carbon Dioxide or CO2?
400

What is Accumulation, Condensation, Evaporation, Precipitation, Runoff?
500
An increase in temperature with height. The reverse of the normal cooling with height in the atmosphere. Temperature inversions trap atmospheric
pollutants in the lower troposphere, resulting in higher concentrations of pollutants at ground levels than would usually be experienced.
What is Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ)?
500
Sudden onset of wind increase of at least 16 knots (30 km/h) or greater sustained for at least one minute.
What is Squall?
500
Most of the weather on Earth is formed in this layer.
What is Troposphere?
500
The term use to descirbe how humans remove fossil fuels from the earth.
What is Extraction?
500
The ground is saturated with water to a certain degree that precipitation will not get absorbed.
