Weather and Climate
100
Measures the ammount of precipitation that has fallen in an area
What is a rain gauge?
100
A large body of air that usually has the same moisture, temperature and air pressure throughout.
What is an air mass?
100
This is how hot or how cold the air is.
What is temperature?
100
The three processes in the water cycle.
What evaporation, condensation, precipitation?
100
This is the conditions of the atmosphere at a given place and time.
What is weather!!!!
200
This measures how hot or how cold the air is in degrees fahrenheit or celcius
What is a thermometer?
200
A cold air mass meets a warm air mass and pushes under it.
What is a cold front?
200
The amount of water vapor in the air is called this.
What is humidity?
200
liquid water becomes water vapor
What is evaporation?
200
The average weather conditions in an area over a long period of time.
What is climate?
300
This tool measure wind speed in kilometers or miles per hour
What is an anemometer?
300
Air masses are described by these two condition.
What is temperature and humidity?
300
This is the weight of air as it presses down on Earth's surface.
What is air pressure?
300
The change of state from a gas to a liquid. This is where clouds form.
What is condensation?
300
This is the climate zone that we live in.
What is temperate?
400
Measures air pressure.
What is a barometer?
400
A warm air mass puses into a cold air mass bringing steady precipitation.
What is a warm front?
400
This occurs when air flows from an area of high pressure to areas of low pressure.
What is wind?
400
Any form of water that falls from coulds to Earth's surface.
What is precipitation?
400
This movement of earth's water is what causes weather.
What is the water cycle?
500
Measures the amount of water vapor or moisture in the air.
What is a hygrometer?
500
This is a boundry between air masses that does not move. Rainy weather may persist for several days.
What is a stationary front?
500
These are the conditions of the atmosphere that make weather.
What is air pressure, air temperature, water vapor and wind?
500
The four types of precipitation.
What are rain, sleet, hail and snow?
500
Amount of sunlight, and bodies of water like the ocean or lakes.
What are factors that affect climate?
