Weather 1
The study of the atmosphere and weather.
Meteorology
A dangerous wind storm forming over land that causes a lot of damage.
Tornado
The recycling of water on, in, and around Earth.
Water cycle
This step of the water cycle is when precipitation goes down the side of elevated landforms such as mountains.
Run off
The layers of gases surrounding Earth.
Atmosphere
The daily state of the atmosphere that changes all the time.
Weather
A dangerous wind storm formed over ocean water that causes a lot of damage and flooding.
Hurricane
Scientific study of the water cycle.
Hydrology
This step of the water cycle is the "last" step where water ends up in a body of water.
Collection
The most abundant gas in the atmosphere.
Nitrogen
The average weather conditions over a long period of time.
Climate
A severe winter storm involving snow and below freezing temperatures.
Blizzard
This step of the water cycle is when water or ice fall from the sky.
Precipitation
This step of the water cycle is when water soaks into the ground like a sponge.
Infiltration
The protective area in the stratosphere that acts as our "sunscreen" and protects Earth from harmful UV rays.
Ozone
When there is an excess of moisture in the air and dew and fog can be the result.
Humidity
When there is no precipitation for a long time and all water sources are drying up.
Drought
This step of the water cycle is when the sun causes the water to go back into the sky.
Evaporation
This step of the water cycle is when the infiltrated water flows under the Earth; where wells and springs come from.
Groundwater
Cloud's types, shapes, and colors are used by meteorologists to predict the
Weather
A dangerous situation when large amounts of rain and water rush into places very suddenly and cannot drain away fast enough.
Flash Flood
A severe and damaging rain storm involving wind and rain and possibly hail and tornadoes.
Thunderstorm
This step of the water cycle is when evaporated water morphs together to form clouds.
Condensation
This step of the water cycle is when water is released from plants into the sky.
Transpiration
These are caused by the condensing of water vapors in the sky
Clouds
