Atmosphere
Layer of our atmosphere where there is electrical charge. This is where we get our Northern Lights.
What is the Thermosphere.
Large bodies of air that have the same temperature, air pressure, and moisture.
What is air mass.
Rain, snow, sleet, or hail being released from the clouds in our atmosphere is what step in the water cycle?
What is precipitation.
The collection of water vapor in our atmosphere condenses to form what?
What are clouds.
The usual weather conditions of a place over an extended amount of time is what?
What is climate.
Layer of our atmosphere where you will find the Ozone. This is also where planes fly.
What is our Stratosphere.
This type of front typically brings clouds and precipitation. Can also bring thunderstorms or severe weather.
What is a cold front.
Water changing from a liquid to a gas state due to the heating of the sun is what step in the water cycle?
What is evaporation.
Big tall clouds that bring severe weather such as thunderstorms.
What are cumulonimbus clouds.
This climate zone is where you will ice caps, polar bears, and icebergs.
What is polar climate zone.
Layer of our atmosphere that has no definite ending. This is where we find satellites.
What is the Exosphere.
The place where two air masses meet is called what?
What is a front.
This step of the water cycle is when precipitation falls into rivers, oceans, and lakes.
What is collection.
Clouds that form on the ground is called what?
What is fog.
This climate zone is where you will experience dry weather and little rainfall. Home to many desert areas.
What is the Arid climate zone.
Layer of our atmosphere where we live. We also experience weather in this layer.
What is the Troposphere.
This device is used to measure the temperature of the air.
What is a thermometer.
What changing from a gas back into a liquid up in our atmosphere is what step of the water cycle?
What is condensation.
What are the three main types of severe weather?
What are hurricanes, tornadoes, and snowstorms.
This climate is where you will find rainforests, exotic animals, hot temperatures, and a great amount of rainfall.
What is the tropical climate zone.
This layer of our atmosphere keeps us protected from meteors that enter from outer space.
What is the Mesosphere.
This type of front will bring gray clouds and steady precipitation but not usually severe weather.
What is a warm front.
What are the four types of precipitation?
What is rain, snow, sleet, and hail.
This person studies weather, air masses, and fronts.
What is a meteorologist.
This climate zone is what we mostly experience. There is a seasonal range of temperatures and annual rainfall.
What is continental climate zone.
