100
These clouds produce clear and warm weather.
What is cumulus clouds?
100
This is the stage of the water cycle after it stops raining.
What is evaporation?
100
This causes clouds to form.
What is warm air rising and expanding?
100
This is the weather when there is low clouds.
What is dark and windy weather?
100
This is the kind of weather a place usually has over a long period of time.
What is climate?
200
This is the reason cyclones always rotate counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere but clockwise in the southern hemisphere.
What is Coriolis Effect?
200
This is a tube-like instrument that measure the amount of rainfall in any given area.
What is rain gauge?
200
This an instrument used to measure weather.
What is satellites, Doppler radar, and weather balloons?
200
Earth's rotation affects the direction of weather patterns through this.
What is low pressure areas?
200
These are warmer ocean waters when ocean temperatures rise a few degrees above normal and affect weather patterns around the world.
What is El Nino?
300
This is a signal that El Nino is beginning.
What is unusual winds that cause warm water to move eastward toward South America?
300
This is an important part of the carbon cycle.
What is photosynthesis, decomposition, and respiration?
300
This is the part of the water cycle that happens to most of the snow in the spring.
What is surface runoff?
300
This is the important role plants play in the carbon cycle.
What is they use photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide to sugar?
300
This abnormal weather pattern occurs every two to seven years.
What is El Nino?
400
This is what will happen to an area after a warm front has passed through the area.
What is temperature falls?
400
This is the difference between the air pressure on a mountain and seashore.
What is air pressure less on the mountain?
400
This is the instrument designed to measure air pressure.
What is a barometer?
400
This is the effect of Earth's rotation on wind and current directions.
What is Coriolis Effect?
400
This is what will happen to the weather if the air pressure is falling.
What is low pressure area approaching bringing snow or rain?
500
This is the cycle where carbon dioxide is absorbed by plants and animals.
What is carbon cycle?
500
These are the three types of heat transfer.
What is conduction, convection, and radiation?
500
This is the type of from that occurs when cold air moves underneath warm air, forcing the warm air to rise.
What is cold front?
500
This is why climates near the equator tend to be warmer than other areas of Earth.
What is these regions receive direct sunlight?
500
This is the greatest factor on the climate of a coastal area.
What is ocean currrents?
