Agghhhhhhh!!!
100

I show how warm, or how fast the molecules are moving in the surrounding substance.

What is a THERMOMETER?

100

Basically, all weather is cause by this.

What is the UNEVEN HEATING OF THE EARTH?

100

The shifting of air due to Earth’s rotation.

What is the CORIOLIS EFFECT?

100

Air that forms over a particular large area.

What is an AIR MASS?

100

A large, swirling low pressure system that forms over a tropical area.

What is a HURRICANE?

200

I measure the air pressure. The higher I am, the worse weather they’ll be.

What is a barometer?

200

When Earth’s surface reflects the heat energy from the sun, these occur.

What are CONVECTION CURRENTS?

200

Each hemisphere has three corresponding ones of these.

What are WINDBELTS?

200

Cool temperatures and violet storms occur with this type of FRONT.

What is a COLD FRONT?

200

Period of months with no rainfall.

What is a DROUGHT?

300

I measure wind speed.

What is an ANEMOMETER?

300

I absorb heat quicker, and release it faster too.

What is LAND?

300

Movements of water that follow the windbelts.

What are OCEAN CURRENTS?

300

Cold, dry air moves from this direction.

What is NORTH or POLAR ZONES?

300

Extreme snowy weather driven by low pressure systems.

What is a BLIZZARD?

400

I show wild direction.

What is a WINDVANE?

400

The study of weather.

What is METEOROLOGY?

400

This forms when two bodies with different salinity meet.

What are DENSITY CURRENTS?

400

This type of front has long, cloudy, rainy days accomidate day with it.

What is a WARM FRONT?

400

During a weather warning, what should you do during a thunderstorm warning?

What is GO IN THE BASEMENT or ROOM WITHOUT WINDOWS?

500

These are orbiting the Earth, tracking weather.

What are SATELLITES?

500

The five factors that affect weather?

What are TEMPERATURE, AIR-PRESSURE, CLOUDS, WINDS, HUMIDITY?

500

As heat rises, this pressure system spirals due to the CORIOLIS EFFECT, so clouds and precipitation form.

What is a LOW PRESSURE system?

500

This type of system brings fair weather, since clouds are unlikely to form.

What is a HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM?

500

A violent column of air that moves along a narrow path over land.

What is a TORNADO?
