Consist of billions of tiny water droplets (and even ice crystals) and clouds form when raising air cools and the moisture in it condenses to water droplets.
What are clouds?
100
This type of pressure results from warmer temperatures and moisture.
What is low pressure?
100
This carries water in the atmosphere to other places.
What is wind?
100
Measures the temperature.
What is a thermometer?
100
This type of air flows onto the seashore during the day with a sea breeze.
What is cool air?
200
These clouds are found at high altitudes are are associated with fair (Sunny) weather.
What are cirrus clouds?
200
This is a weather system that forms over the ocean. This weather system has very low pressure in the center.
What is a hurricane?
200
The direction that the wind is blowing from when a front moves from California to North Carolina.
What is west?
200
Measures the air pressure (how dense the air is)
What is a barometer?
200
This type of weather is likely when an air mass cools and condenses.
What is rain?
300
TRUE OR FALSE? Clouds trap heat between the cloud and the earth's surface.
What is true?
300
This change in the weather is likely to happen as air pressure falls.
What is stormy weather?
300
This is formed when air masses of different temperatures meet.
What is a front?
300
Measures the amount of precipitation that falls.
What is a rain gauge?
300
A hurricane will strengthen most over this general water temperature.
What is warm water?
400
These clouds are grey in color and are associated with drizzle. They are layered and look like a blanket that covers the sky.
What are stratus clouds?
400
TRUE OR FALSE: Hot air is more dense than cool air.
What is FALSE!?
400
This type of pressure is associated with cooler temperatures and dry air.
What is high pressure?
400
Measures the speed and direction of wind.
What is an anemometer?
400
Cool air flows in this direction at night on a seashore.
What is towards the water?
500
These clouds are associated with thunderstorms. They often extend from low to high altitudes in an anvil shape.
What are cumulonimbus clouds?
500
This type of pressure is associated with cooler temperatures and dry air.
What is high pressure?
500
This is most responsible for guiding the movement of different air masses across the United States
What is the jet stream?
500
A scientist wanted to record information about the air pressure in Maiden, NC. The scientist should use this type of instrument.
What is a barometer?
500
The weather on the North Carolina coastline is generally this temperature in comparison to the inland.
