PREDICTING WEATHER
RANDOM
100
The transfer if heat from the earth's surface to the air causes what kind of weather condition
What is temperature
100
What happens when two air masses of different properties collide with each other?
What is a Front
100
It can be very dangerous, produces lightning and heavy rainstorms
What is Thunderstorms
100
Predicting weather
What is Forecasting
100
This is seen on television and uses symbols to show the position of weather conditions in different locations
What is a Weather Map
200
Droplets of water suspended in the clouds that become to large to stay causing them to fall to earth
What is Precipitation or Rain
200
When a cold air mass slides under a warm air mass this is formed.
What is a Cold Front
200
A violent disturbance in the atmosphere caused by the collision of different types of fronts
What is a Storm
200
This can detect and locate rainfall and snowflakes by sending energy pulses into the atmosphere
What is a Radar
200
There are many of these positioned all over the globe to gather weather data
What is Weather Stations
300
The amount of water vapor in the air
What is Humidity
300
The warm air mass of air moves over a cold air mass causing
What is a Warm Front
300
This is created in low pressure areas when rising warm is replaced by cooler air
What is a Cyclone
300
It is designed to send pictures back to Earth of cloud development, cloud movement and other patterns of weather
What is a Satellite
300
The average weather conditions that take place in a large area over a long period of time
What is Climate
400
The movement of air from high pressure areas to low pressure areas
What is Wind
400
In a warm front, a warm mass of air runs into a what and moves it over?
What is a mass of cold air
400
A very powerful cyclone that forms over tropical waters with wind speed that can reach over 198 mph
What is a Hurricane
400
A special plane used to gather data on wind speed, precipitation, air temperature, and air pressure by lowering instruments into the moving air
What is Reconnaissance Weather Flight
400
What are the two types of Barometers
What is Mercury and Aneroid
500
A measure of the force of air pressing down on the top of us and the earth's surface.
What is Atmospheric pressure or air pressure
500
When different types of masses meet and stall
What is a Stationary Front
500
This forms over land rather than sea. A whirling, funnel-shaped cloud that can cause massive destruction.
What is a Turnado
500
Used to process the massive amounts of data gathered from the radar and satellites and develop computer models of possible weather conditions
What is a Super Weather computer
500
This is made up of a mixture of gases; oxygen (21%) and Nitrogen (78%).
What is Atmosphere
