What is evaporation?
100

What is cumulus?

What is the movement of hot and cold gases/liquids past each other?
100
On weather maps, this symbol is called this.
What is a warm front?
100
This is the process where heat moves and spreads out in liquids or gases. (Hint: We did a lab to demonstrate this)
What is convection?
200
These are the two types of run-off.
What is surface run-off and subsurface run-off?
200
This is one of the 3 main types of clouds. These clouds are high up, curly and stringy, and formed by ice crystals.

200

What are hurricanes/cyclones/typhoons, tornadoes, and thunderstorms.
200
One weather maps, this symbol is called this.
What is a cold front?
200
This is the direction the wind blowing according to this wind barb.
What is southwest?
300
When water thickens up to become clouds in the sky
What is condensation?
300
This is one of the 3 main types of clouds. It looks very foggy and forms a thin low layer.
What is stratus?
300

When warm and cold fronts get together they can create either of these 2 stormy fronts.
What are stationary and occluded fronts.
300
When all types of water collect in the ocean.

400
When water is pulled down from heavy clouds back to the ground.

400
This is one of the clouds that can cause storms. They block out the sun completely and bring lots of rain and snow.
What is nimbostratus?
400
This is the rating the crazy quarter-mile tornado got in storm chasers.
What is EF5?
400
This is the type of weather would you expect in a High pressure system.
What is sunny, clear weather?
400
This is the cloudiness in the sky according to this wind barb.
What is overcast?
500
When water is pulled through plants.
What is transpiration?
500
These are one of the storm-creating clouds. These towering storm clouds can be the most dangerous, creating thunderstorms and sometimes even tornadoes.
What is cumulonimbus?
500
This storm is created when many different storms gather together and make a massive super storm.
What is a hurricane/typhoon/cyclone?
500
This is the type of the weather in Low pressure systems.
