300
What is the relationship between altitude and temp?
What is
as altitude increases, temp decreases
300
An instrument used to measure the amount of water vapor in the air
What is a Hygrometer
300
In order for a hail storm to occur the temperature must be above ________ degrees.
What is
50 degrees
400
This is the measurement of the average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance

What is the relationship between temperature and the amount of water vapor in the air?
What is
temp decreases as humidity increases
500
a tool used to measure the size of hail that falls during a storm. It is made of florist's foam and aluminum foil. The falling hail strikes the foil and creates dimples for the observer to measure after the storm.
