100
overlapping air currents of hot and cold fronts that swirl past each other and eventually turn vertical to form this.
What is a tornado?
100
Layer of the atmosphere where satellites are found.
What is the exosphere?
100
Floats in the sky with a box attached to it to radio information back to the weather station.
What is a Weather Balloon?
100
Precipitation put back on earth as a liquid. This helps irrigate fields and crops.
What is rain?
100
In the event of a tornado you should get away from these to avoid injury from flying debris and glass.
What is the windows?
200
"the eye" of this type of storm is calm and blue sky can be seen from the ground.
What is a hurricane?
200
Meteors or rock fragments burn up in this layer.
What is Mesosphere?
200
Device for measuring wind speed
What is Anemometer?
200
Water vapor in the air is cooled and condenses.
What is Clouds?
200
To avoid being swept away by flash flooding you should do this immediately.
What is get to higher ground?
300
A storm with constant winds of 74 mph.
What is Typhoon?
300
Weather occurs in this first layer.
What is Troposphere?
300
Instrument used for measuring atmospheric pressure
What is Barometer?
300
Stress in the earth's outer layer cause a pushing effect against the sides of the fault. Due to this motion, rocks slip or collide against each other releasing energy. this released energy travels in waves through the earths crust and causes shaking.
What is Earthquakes?
300
During a thunder storm,metal objects are dangerous because they conduct electricity and are prime targets for lighting to strike.However,the reason your car is a safe place to be is because of the ability of the vehicle to do this.
What is transfer electricity around the car and into the ground?
400
Typhoons are also known as?
What is Tropical Cyclone?
400
Aircrafts fly in this layer.
What is Stratosphere?
400
A simple weather radar that can detect precipitation or objects just by the reflection of microwaves.
What is Doppler Radar?
400
Sea floor abruptly deforms and vertically displaces the overlying water. When Tectonic Earthquakes occur beneath the sea, the water above the deformed area is displaced from its equilibrium position. Waves are formed by the displaced water mass, which acts under the influence of gravity, attempts to regain its equilibrium. When large areas of the sea floor elevate or subside.
What is Tsunami?
400
Certain storms will produce this type of precipitation that can cause serious injury and damage to anything exposed to the storm.
What is hail?
500
A small, very intense downdraft that descends to the ground resulting in a strong wind divergences.
What is Micro Bursts?
500
This layer has auroras. Space shuttles also orbit in this layer.
What is Thermosphere?
500
Instruments used to measure humidity.
What is Hygrometer?
500
Its rains, gets evaporated, condenses, and rains again.
What is Water Cycle?
500
Increasing pollution and dangerous gasses are eating away at the ozone that protects us from the suns harmful rays.To avoid skin cancer you should do this to help protect yourself.
What is use sunscreen?
