100
When you see this type of cloud, you can expect a change in the weather.
What is a cirrus cloud
100
This is a degree of hotness or coldness that can be measured using a thermometer.
What is temperature
100
Air takes up what two things?
What is space and weight
100
This occurs when water vapor turns directly into ice without ever passing through a liquid state.
What is snow
200
When water vapor in the air cools and changes back into a liquid, we call this what?
What is condensation
200
When you see this cloud, you can expect nice, sunny weather.
What is a cumulus cloud
200
This is a combination of air temperature and humidity that gives a description of how the temperature feels.
What is heat index
200
These are signs of high air pressure
What is fair weather and rising temperatures
200
Rain takes these two common forms.
What are showers and drizzle
300
What happens when there is too much water that has condensed and the air cannot hold it anymore?
What is precipitation
300
All weather occurs in this Earth layer.
What is the troposphere
300
Temperature is measured in these two degree types
What is Fahrenheit and Celsius
300
These occur in fronts
What are storms
300
Blowing snow drifts that cause deep piles.
What is a blizzard
400
This occurs when rain water sinks down through the soil into wells or groundwater.
What is percolation
400
This is the thickest and widest layer of the Earth
What is the ionosphere
400
This causes wind
What is differences in air pressure
400
This is a boundary between two air masses of different temperature and pressure.
What is a front
400
This tropical storm is formed over the open ocean.
What is a hurricane

What is the ozone?
What is a type of oxygen that absorbs harmful rays from the sun.
500
This weather tool measures wind speed
What is an anemometer
500
We use this weather instrument to measure air pressure.
What is a barometer
