Atmosphere
Almost all the Weather occurs here
What is the troposphere
Weather Changes over a period of days/weeks/months
What is Weather
When the air around the tube heats the liquid, the liquid expands and moves up the tube.
What is a thermometer
They are vertical funnels of rapidly spinning air.
What are Tornadoes
What is my name?
WHAT?!?!? YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS!!!
Most Meteorites burn up here.
What is the mesophere
Weather Changes over a period of years/decades/centuries
What is Climate
It tells you whether or not the pressure is rising or falling.
What is a barometer
giant, spiraling tropical storms
What are Hurricanes
What is the ozone layer?
The layer shields the entire Earth from much of the harmful ultraviolet radiation that comes from the sun.
Daily Double: The Ozone layer is found here
What is the Stratosphere
his occurs when temperatures have a humidex of 42C or higher for at least two days.
What is a heatwave
An instrument that determines the direction and speed from which the wind is blowing.
What is a Anemometer
there is heavy rainfall in a short amount of time and water overflows its natural or artificial banks
What are floods
What is a jet stream?
A jet stream forms high in the upper troposphere between two air masses of very different temperatures. The greater the temperature difference between the air masses, the faster the wind blows in the jet stream
Temperatures in the atmosphere are the coldest here
What is the Mesosphere
rain or snow that falls on an area
What is precipitation
measures the water vapor content of air or the humidity.
What is a Hygrometer
This happens when very strong winds carry clouds of dust across an area.
What are dust storms/ sand storms
What is Fog?
Fog is made up of condensed water droplets which are the result of the air being cooled to the point where it can no longer hold all of the water vapor it contains.
The outermost layer, Satellites orbit here
The rising average temperature of Earth's climate system
What is global warming
These are used to photograph and track large-scale air movements.
What are weather satellites
They include heavy snow over a long period of time, ice, and freezing temperatures.
What are blizzards
Water isn't wet by itself, but it makes other materials wet when it sticks to the surface of them.
