100
The tool used to measure temperature outside
What is thermometer ?
100
This is the moisture condensed from the atmosphere into tiny drops of water.
What is rain?
100
This tool sends out signals that reflect off rain and snow and indicate how much rain has fallen.
What is a weather satellite?
100
This is where most changes in weather occur
What is along the fronts?
100
True or False: Air masses meet at fronts.
True
200
humidity in the air measured with this tool.
What is a hygrometer?
200
These are the 4 types of precipitation.
Snow, rain, sleet, and hail
200
These are places where people from all over the world send data on local weather conditions
What is weather stations?
200
This is the type of weather found along an area of high pressure.
What is sunny and dry?
200
This symbol represents a low pressure system.
What is a letter "L"?
300
Air pressure is measured with this tool.
What is a barometer?
300
Water vapor freezes into crystals and forms this.
What is snow?
300
These collect data for meteorologist (temperature, wind direction, wind speed, air pressure, humidity) at different heights above the ground.
What is the purpose of weather balloons?
300
A HIGH pressure area is labeled on a map with this symbol.
What is With the symbol "H".
300
True or False: At a cold front, cold air quickly pushes under warm air, causing strong winds and precipitation (usually thunderstorms).
True.
400
This weather instrument takes photos of clouds from space
What is a weather satellite?
400
These are the frozen water drops become when they are carried back up unto the sky by wind and more layers of ice form on them
What is hail?
400
List at least 2 ways to measure wind direction.
Weathervane, watching smoke from a chimney, watching tree branches, etc.
400
Low clouds with gentle rains and rising temperatures occur with this type of front.
What type of weather does a warm front bring?
400
This symbol is 2 lines with triangles on them - which type of front?
What is a cold front?
500
The Beaufort scale measure this.
What is relative wind speed?
500
TRUE or FALSE: Sleet forms as tiny water droplets collide and form larger drops, which fall to the ground without freezing.
What is false?
500
These are the 4 tools meteorologist use to predict weather.
What is weather balloons, radar, weather satellite, and weather stations?
500
Precipitation is brought on by this type of air pressure system
What is a Low air pressure system?
