Weather Tools
I show how warm, or how fast the molecules are moving in the surrounding substance.
What is a THERMOMETER?
Basically, all weather is cause by this.
What is the UNEVEN HEATING OF THE EARTH?
The shifting of air due to Earth’s rotation.
What is the CORIOLIS EFFECT?
Air that forms over a particular large area.
What is an AIR MASS?
A large, swirling low pressure system that forms over a tropical area.
What is a HURRICANE?
I measure the air pressure. The higher I am, the worse weather they’ll be.
What is a barometer?
When Earth’s surface reflects the heat energy from the sun, these occur.
What are CONVECTION CURRENTS?
Each hemisphere has three corresponding ones of these.
What are WINDBELTS?
Cool temperatures and violet storms occur with this type of FRONT.
What is a COLD FRONT?
Period of months with no rainfall.
What is a DROUGHT?
I measure wind speed.
What is an ANEMOMETER?
I absorb heat quicker, and release it faster too.
What is LAND?
Movements of water that follow the windbelts.
What are OCEAN CURRENTS?
Cold, dry air moves from this direction.
What is NORTH or POLAR ZONES?
Extreme snowy weather driven by low pressure systems.
What is a BLIZZARD?
I show wild direction.
What is a WINDVANE?
The study of weather.
What is METEOROLOGY?
This forms when two bodies with different salinity meet.
What are DENSITY CURRENTS?
This type of front has long, cloudy, rainy days accomidate day with it.
What is a WARM FRONT?
During a weather warning, what should you do during a thunderstorm warning?
What is GO IN THE BASEMENT or ROOM WITHOUT WINDOWS?
These are orbiting the Earth, tracking weather.
What are SATELLITES?
The five factors that affect weather?
What are TEMPERATURE, AIR-PRESSURE, CLOUDS, WINDS, HUMIDITY?
As heat rises, this pressure system spirals due to the CORIOLIS EFFECT, so clouds and precipitation form.
What is a LOW PRESSURE system?
This type of system brings fair weather, since clouds are unlikely to form.
What is a HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM?
A violent column of air that moves along a narrow path over land.
What is a TORNADO?
