100

The layer with the highest pressure and weather occurs here.

Troposphere

100

Condensed water in the clouds gets heavy enough to fall back to earth.

Precipitation

100

Thunder can be heard and lightning can be seen. 

Thunderstorm

100

This front has cold, dense air. Thunderstorms or ice storms can occur during the front.

Cold front

100

This weather tool measures wind speed

Anemometer

200

The Ozone layer is here. 

Stratosphere

200

Plants releasing water vapor into the air.

Transpiration

200

A huge twister that creates large masses of destruction.

Tornado

200

This front has warmer and less dense air. Light rain occurs in the front.

Warm Front

200

This weather tool measures air pressure

Barometer

300

This is the coldest layer. This is also the 3rd layer in the atmosphere.

Mesosphere

300

Water changing from a liquid to a gas

Evaporation

300

Large amounts of rain and are classified in categories.

Hurricanes

300

Warm and cold air mass meet but don't have enough force to push the other one. The resulting weather is light rain for days.

Stationary Front

300

This weather tool measures wind direction

Wind Vane

400

This is the hottest layer and right above the mesosphere.

Thermosphere

400

Water will always try to make its way to the lowest point

Surface Water Flow

400

These clouds are thunderstorm clouds.

Cumulonimbus clouds

400

This pressure system has rain and stormy weather and also colder than usual.

Low pressure system

400

This weather tool measures relative humidity

Sling Psychrometer

500

This is the highest layer in the atmosphere.

Exosphere

500

Water will continue to run downward even if it is underground

Ground Water Flow

500

These clouds indicate fair weather. They are long thin clouds.

Cirrus Clouds

500

This pressure system indicate fair weather, warm temperatures, slight breeze, cirrus and cumulus clouds.

High Pressure System

500

This weather tool measures actual humidity
