100
This moves from high pressure to low pressure.
What is air? What are fluids?
100
This is the name for the water that moves through the ocean.
What are currents?
100
This is what heats the Earth.
What is the sun?
100
This can occur when one air mass moves into another air mass.
What is severe weather?
100
These are tools used to measure weather. (Name at least 3)
What are thermometers, barometers, psychometers, and anemometers?
200
This is the level of the atmosphere where weather happens.
What is the troposphere?
200
This occurs most often during the day, when the ocean is cooler than the land.
What is a sea breeze?
200
Sunlight is more direct at the _________, so it is __________.
What is equator? What is hotter?
200
These are the 4 most common types of air masses.
What are warm & dry, warm & humid, cold & dry, and cold & humid?
200
These help scientists study and predict weather. (Name at least 2)
What are satellites, weather balloons, and Doppler radars?
300
These are variables that can change air pressure. (Name at least 3)
What are amount of space, temperature, humidity/water vapor, and height above earth's surface?
300
This occurs most often during the night, when the land is cooler than the ocean.
What is a land breeze?
300
Sunlight is more direct at the _________, so it is __________.
What are equator? What is hotter?
300
This is the meeting place between two air masses.
What is a front?
300
Weather maps can show these attributes (Name at least 4)
What are air temperature, wind speed, wind direction, cloud cover, precipitation, cold/warm fronts, and air pressure?
400
This causes lower air pressure. (Name at least two)
What are bigger spaces, heat, humidity, height above earth's surface?
400
This is the direction in which water currents move.
What is northeast to southwest?
400
This is the number of layers of the atmosphere.
What is 5?
400
This is when a cold air mass hits a warm air mass and lifts it up.
What is a cold front?
400
This is the direction that a jet stream moves in.
What is west to east?
500
This causes higher air pressure. (Name at least two)
What are smaller spaces, less heat, dryness/less humidity, and being closer to earth's surface?
500
This is how the sun affects the land and ocean differently.
Ocean heats up and cools down more slowly (retains heat). Land heats up and cools down more quickly.
500
Draw a picture of how the sun affects the earth.
Uneven heating of earth picture
500
This is when a warm air mass flows over a cool air mass.
What is a warm front?
500
Predict the weather shown on the weather map of Kansas City.
Snow, clouds, 30 degrees, cold front
