Weather 1
True or False
A High Pressure System means Happy Weather with a lot of clouds in the sky.
True
What is the name of the pressure system that brings lousy weather?
Low Pressure.
Which particle determines an element's/atom's identity?
Protons determine identity.
What subatomic particle lives in the electron cloud?
Electrons live in the electron cloud.
Temperatures dropping (gets cooler) is associated with what kind of pressure system?
Cold Front.
Temperatures rising (gets warmer) is associated with what kind of front system?
Warm Front.
What are the two parts of an atom?
The two parts of an atom are the nucleus and the electron cloud.
What is the mass for each subatomic particle?
Proton - 1
Neutron - 1
Electron - 0
What is the symbol for High Pressure?
What should you see in the sky when there is High Pressure?
The symbol for High Pressure is a blue H.
You should expect to see happy weather, a sunny day without clouds.
What is the name of the front that creates quick and aggressive rain?
Cold Front.
What are the names of the three subatomic particles?
Proton, Neutron, and Electron.
What is the heaviest (the most mass) part of an atom.
Why?
The nucleus is the heaviest part of an atom because protons and neutrons live there and have more mass than an electron.
What happens to the speed of a hurricane when it makes landfall AND why?
The hurricane gets weaker. Hurricanes need warm ocean water and wind for strength. When it makes landfall it no longer has power from the warm ocean water.
Draw the symbol for cold front and warm front.
Write what you can expect for each front systems.
The cold front symbol is a blue triangle. You should expect quick and aggressive rain. The temperatures should drop.
The warm front symbol is a red half circle. You should expect gentle rain that happens over a long period of time. The temperatures should rise.
Write the names of the subatomic particles and their electrical charges (negative, positive, neutral,etc).
Proton = Positive (+)
Neutron = No Charge (0)
Electron = Negative (-)
What is the biggest (larger, but not heavier in mass) part of an atom?
The Electron Cloud.
What is it called when warm air rises and cold air sinks (goes down) in a continuous cycle?
Convection current.
What pressure system would you find near a hurricane?
Low Pressure.
What is the name of the small part in the center of the atom?
The nucleus.
Think about which two subatomic particles live in the nucleus.
What is the electrical charge of the nucleus?
Positive, because it has positive protons.
