Up, Up, and Away
This is the study of forces and processes of the atmosphere and its changes that produce weather.
What is meteorology?
This is the part of the water cycle where heat causes liquid water to change into a gas, water vapor.
What is evaporation?
This is the place where warm and cold air meet.
What is a front?
This is any dangerous meteorological condition.
What is severe weather?
This is the layer of mixed gases that surround the Earth.
What is the atmosphere?
This is the part of the water cycle where water vapor cools and becomes a liquid. Water droplets can be suspended as clouds.
What is condensation?
This weather instrument measures relative humidity.
What is a hygrometer?
This dangerous weather forms over the ocean
What is a hurricane?
This is the order of the layers of the atmosphere from the inside out.
What are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere?
This is the part of the water cycle where the water droplets are too heavy to be suspended in clouds and fall to the Earth.
What is precipitation?
This weather instrument measures air pressure.
This weather instrument measures temperature.
What is a thermometer?
This dangerous weather is a violent column of wind rotating quickly.
What is a tornado?
This layer of the atmosphere contains the ozone layer.
What is the stratosphere?
This is the part of the water cycle where water flows on the ground and collects in a body of water.
What is surface runoff?
This weather instrument measures wind direction.
What is a wind vane?
This occurs when an area receives heavy precipitation in a short period of time.
What is a flash flood?
This is the most abundant element in the atmosphere.
What is nitrogen?
This is a severe weather type and form of precipitation.
What is hail?
This type of front forms when a cold front or warm front stops moving. This happens when two masses of air are pushing against each other, but neither is powerful enough to move the other.
What is a stationary front?
Daily Double: How is this shown on a weather map?
How does lightning form?
Negative charges in the cloud attract positivecharges on the ground.
