100
This measures air speed
Anemometer
100
This energy is gone once it's used.
Non-Renewable
100
Water heats up and cools down at this rate compared to land
Slower
100
This "effect" describes the heating of the earth's surface
Greenhouse Effect
100
Air and water are deflected due to the rotation of the earth due to this effect
Coriolis
200
This measures Relative Humidity
Sling Psychrometer
200
Of all the gases, the Atmosphere is composed MOSTLY of this
Nitrogen
200
Warm moist air mass forming over an ocean
Maritime Tropical
200
Air Pressure does this when altitude increases
Decreases
200
This breeze comes in TO the land FROM the ocean
Sea Breeze
300
Rain Gauge
300
If it is raining or snowing, which layer of the Atmosphere are you in?
Troposphere
300
This causes water to move into places where it collects, like rivers and ponds
Gravity
300
Warm fronts are slower or faster than Cold fronts
Slower
300
This creates wind
Uneven heating of Earth's surface

You're seeing your Barometer rise, what sort of weather is on the way?
Fair Weather
400
Planes fly here and pass through the Ozone Layer
Stratosphere
400
Process where a solid turns into vapor without first melting (think mountaintops)
Sublimation
400
Average temperatures over many years are referred to as
Climate
400
These winds just above and below the Equator helped in the Age of Exploration
Trade Winds

Two Parts: These are all FOUR layers of the atmosphere and what happens to temperature as altitude increases in each of them.
Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere
Declines, Increases, Declines, Increases
500
The Water Cycle is also called this cycle
Hydrologic

What is the weather in Maine going to be tomorrow?
Warmer
500
Winds deflect off the rotating Earth and impact ocean currents in this direction in the Southern Hemisphere
