A push or a pull.
What is a force?
This has the greatest effect on wind speed.
What is air pressure?
The basic physical and functional unit of heredity that includes our DNA.
What are genes?
Shows how energy is passed from producers to consumers.
What is a food chain?
Color, shape, size and texture are examples of this.
What are qualitative properties?
A force which draws objects toward its center.
What is gravity?
The instrument that measures wind speed.
What is an anemometer?
This system is composed of the heart and the blood vessels— arteries, veins, and capillaries. Its purpose is to provide nutrients and oxygen to the tissues and to remove wastes from them.
What is the circulatory system?
Any group of living and nonliving things interacting with one another; there are both terrestrial and aquatic types.
What is an ecosystem?
Energy from this is the driving force for most biotic (living) and abiotic (nonliving) cycles on the surface of Earth.
What is the sun?
A force that opposes motion.
What is friction?
Air moving (sometimes with considerable force) from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure.
What is an air current?
The material found in genes that carries all the information about how a living thing will look and function.
What is DNA?
Similar ecosystems throughout the world grouped together based on climate factors; some examples include the tundra, taiga, deciduous forests and tropical rainforests.
What is a biome?
The process in which water vapor cools (loses heat energy) and changes into tiny liquid drops of water.
What is condensation?
The measure of gravity's force on an object.
What is weight?
Relatively narrow bands of strong wind in the upper levels of the atmosphere.
What are jet streams?
A living thing made up of one or more cells and able to carry on the activities of life (as using energy, growing, or reproducing).
What is an organism?
Use photosynthesis to make their food; examples include plants, bacteria and sometimes algae.
What is a producer?
A flow, or oscillation, of unusually cooler water temperatures in the Pacific Ocean.
What is La Nina?
The rate at which an object changes its velocity (speed/direction).
What is acceleration?
The weather expected with these condition---
• dark, cloudy skies
• air pressure falling rapidly
• temperatures in the 60s
falling to 50s
• high humidity
What is a rain storm?
Algae, bacteria, phytoplankton, yeast, and amoeba are examples of this.
What is unicellular?
These are three types of consumers and their roles.
What are ...
Primary consumers-Animal that consumes producers
Secondary consumers-Predator, or animal that feeds on a primary consumer
Tertiary consumers- animal that feeds on animals that eat other animals.
The leading edge of a warm air mass; it is represented as a red line with half circles on a weather map.
What is a warm front?
