what is Jet stream.
the jet stream is a narrow band of fast moving air high I the atmosphere
what is a land breeze
a land breeze is a local wind system characterized by a flow from land to water late at night
What is a hydrometer
an instrument used for measuring density or relative density of liquids
what is the atmosphere
The atmosphere is a mixture of gases that surrounds the Earth. It helps make life possible by providing us with air to breathe, shielding us from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation coming from the Sun, trapping heat to warm the planet,
what is evaporation
evaporation, process by which an element or compound transitions from its liquid state to its gaseous state below the temperature at which it boils; in particular,
what is the gulf stream
the gulf stream is warm ocean current it starts in the gulf of Mexico and travles up to the east coast
what is a sea breeze
sea breezes occur during hot, summer days because of the unequal heating rates of land with water.
what is a barmometer
A barometer is a scientific instrument that is used to measure air pressure in a certain environment. Pressure tendency can forecast short term changes in the weather.
what is a cirrus cloud
Cirrus (cloud classification symbol: Ci) is a genus of high cloud made of ice crystals.
what is air mass
An air mass is a large volume of air in the atmosphere that is mostly uniform in temperature and moisture.
what is climate
Climate refers to a long term regain or global average of temperature, humidity and rainfall patters over seasons, years or decades
which weather instrument gathers data about wind?
A- thermometer
B-barometer
C- anemometer
D-hydrometer
C- anemometer
what is a meterorologest
meteorologist is a scientist who studies and works in the field of meteorology aiming to understand or predict Earth's atmospheric phenomena including the weather.
what is a stratus cloud
Stratus clouds are low-level layers with a fairly uniform grey or white colour.
what brings warm weather to nc
Air picks up the characteristics of the surface over which it sits. For example, an air mass over a desert becomes hot and dry; an air mass over the Gulf of Mexico becomes warm and humid;
what is weather
weather is the atmosphere condition of a place which occurs at a particular time or over a short time.
what is ground water
ground water is the water found underground in the cracks and spacing in soil, sand and rock
what is transpiration
Transpiration is defined as the process where water evaporates into the atmosphere through plants.
what is a nimbus cloud
Howard also designated a special rain cloud category which combined the three forms cumulo + cirro + stratus
what is a tornado
A tornado is a narrow, violently rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground. Because wind is invisible, it is hard to see a tornado unless it forms a condensation funnel made up of water droplets, dust and debris.
what is wind
wind is the movement of air from one location to another.
what is a thermometer used for
a thermometer is the most accurate tool for measuring high or low termpatures
what is the water cycle
The water cycle is often taught as a simple circular cycle of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. Although this can be a useful model, the reality is much more complicated.
what is a cumulus cloud
Cumulus clouds are clouds that have flat bases and are often described as puffy, cotton-like, or fluffy in appearance
what is fog
Fog is a visible aerosol consisting of tiny water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air at or near the Earth's surface
