What is weather?
200
Condensation around ice nucleus that changes to ice crystals and falls to cold ground temperatures.
What is snow?
200
The changing of a gas into a liquid.
What is Condensation?
200
The type of barometer that uses accordion like metal that balances to match the air pressure
What is an Aneroid Barometer?
200
A front in which cold air moves under a warm air mass. They often bring brief heavy storms.
What is a cold front?
200
The air that surrounds earth.
What is the atmosphere?
300
Condensation around the nucleus that turns into cloud droplets, that then collect around freezing ice crystals and fall to a warm ground temperature.
What is hail?
300
Any form of water particles that falls from the atmosphere and reaches the ground.
What is precipitation?
300
A tool used to tell wind direction.
What is a wind vane?
300
A type of front where warm air moves in over a cold air mass. They usually bring light, steady rain or snow.
What is a warm front?
300
The layer of atmosphere closest to Earth's surface.
What is the troposphere?
400
A cloud at ground level.
What is fog?
400
The process by which plant leaves release water into the air.
What is transpiration?
400
A tool used to measure wind speed.
What is an anemometer?
400
A front that occurs when 2 other fronts meet.
What is an occluded front?
400
The force put on a given area by the weight of the air above it.
What is air pressure?
500
Condensation around the nucleus that falls as rain drops through freezing temperatures.
What is sleet?
500
Water that seeps into pores in soil and rocks.
What is groundwater?
500
A line on a map connecting places with equal air pressure.
What is an isobar?
500
When two fronts meet and remain over an area for several days without moving.
What is a stationary front?
500
The layer in the stratosphere that helps shield us from the Sun's ultraviolet light.
