Name at least five types of precipitation.
What is *rain *snow *sleet *flurries *drizzle *hail
200
The state of the atmosphere in a certain place at a specific time, as defined by temperature, precipitation, air pressure, and humidity is called this.
What is weather.
300
We use this unit for measuring temperature in the U.S.
What is Fahrenheit.
300
Wow! What a beautiful day today! What type of cloud are we most likely to see?
What are cumulus clouds.
300
Name two ways the energy from the sun affects weather on Earth.
What is *temperature *the water cycle (precipitation) *air movement (wind)
300
This type of cloud helps us to predict precipitation.
What are stratus clouds.
300
Hot air rising and cool air rushing over to take its place is called this.
What is wind.
400
Temperature is measured by this tool.
What is a thermometer.
400
Lightning and thunder come from this type of cloud.
What are cumulonimbus clouds.
400
Why does the equator have a higher temperature than the poles?
What is *discuss how the Earth is round and the energy from the sun hits the equator more directly than the poles *also, the energy from the sun reflects from the ice on the poles while it is absorbed by the ocean around the equator.
400
We call partly frozen rain this.
What is sleet.
400
We measure air pressure with this tool.
What is a barometer.

In addition to precipitation, low-laying stratus clouds can cause this type of weather.
What is fog.
500
Describe the connection between ocean currents and the temperature around the world.
What is energy from the sun is absorbed by the ocean and this causes ocean currents which carries this energy and heat around the world.
500
