The cycle that provides hydration for the earth.
What is the Water Cycle
200
A large body of air, with about the same temperature and moisture level throughout.
What is an Air Mass
200
The lowest layer of the atmosphere, we live here!
What is the Troposphere
200
This type of Severe Weather forms in thunderstorms, with rapid winds, and an anvil cloud above it signifies that you need to watch out.
What is a Tornado
200
The (usually) red line that has half-circles on it, and is read on a map.
What is a Warm Front Symbol
200

What is Evaporation, Condensation, and Precipitation
300
The result of a Cold Front and a Warm Front colliding, but neither overpowering the other.
What is a Stationary Front
300
The warmest layer of the atmosphere.
What is the Thermosphere
300
A type of Severe Weather that usually forms over oceans, and needs warm, moist air.
What is a Hurricane
300
The line on a map with both half-circles AND triangles on it.
What is a Stationary Front
300
