100
blanket of air that surrounds the earth
What is atmosphere?
100
atmospheric pressure does this as an object moves closer to the surface of the earth
What is increase?
100
boundary between air masses of different temperatures
What is a front?
200
change of state of matter when water vapor becomes a liquid
What is condensation?
200
running water while brushing your teeth causes this

people who study temperature and weather patterns
What are meteorologists?
200
atmospheric condition that can be potentially dangerous
What is severe weather?
300
water vapor must do this first and then attach to this in order to form a cloud (2 part answer)
What are cool and dust?
300
these bodies help moderate local climate?

300
this kind of pressure would cause a balloon to expand as it moves away from the earth's surface a) less air pressure b) more air pressure
What is (a) less atmospheric pressure?

500
when plants and trees "sweat" and return water into the cycle
What is transpiration?
500
a cake baked in the mountains would rise higher than one baked at sea level because of this
What is less air pressure?
500
this type of air pressure usually means rainy weather
