This Cloud tells you a thunderstorm is on its way.
Cumulonimbus
200
Big, fluffy, bright white clouds usually found at a medium to low height
Cumulus
200
The change in air pressure descreases as the altitude -
increases
200
The stages water goes through from evaporation to condensation
liquid to gas to liquid again
200
The first layer of the atomsphere that we live in
the trophosphere
400
These are the 3 things that determine weather on a daily bases
the temperature of the air, the air pressure and amount of moisture in the air
400
This has rain, thunder and lightning.
Thunderstorm
400
When God spreads a big gray or white blanket over the sky we have these clouds

Water Cycle
400
The layer of the atompshere that has the ozone layer in it
the stratosphere
600
The result of a low pressure system moving into an area currently experiencing high pressure
cold, cloudy and rainy
600
This can flood and damage homes due to strong winds and rain usually starting in the ocean and moving towards coastline cities.
Hurricane
600
Wispy white clouds often made of ice crystals found high in the sky
Cirrus
600
This causes the differences in air pressure zones across the globe
the differences in temperature
600
Stage when tiny droplets or rain or ice collect and form these clouds.
condensation
600
The layer of the atomsphere that is the hottest and has the international space station
the thermoshpere
800
The direction that weather fronts move
from West to East
800
These might happen during a severe thunderstorm. They appear as a a rotating winds going down from the clouds in a funnel until they touch the ground.
Tornado
800
Storm clouds
Cumulonimbus
800
Near the poles, cold air sinks creating areas of this air pressure
High pressure zones
800
Another name for rain, snow, hail.
Precipitation
800
This atmospheric layer is the top layer and goes into outer space
the exosphere
1000
The type of weather expected if a high pressure system is moving in to an area of low pressure
sunny and warm
1000
Very similar to a hurricane however brings more rain and experiences slower wind speeds
Typhoon
1000
Type of cloud that can bring light rain and covers the sky like a blanket
Stratus
1000
The weather resulting from the meeting of a cold front moving into an air currently warm
clouds, rain and possible thunderstorms
1000
This occurs when the sun heats up water on the Earth.
Evaporation
1000
The gas which is most abundant in the atompshere
nitrogen
