Instruments/Tools
100
The part of the water cycle where water vapor comes together to form clouds
condensation
100
This is the state of the atmosphere at any given time
weather
100
Sunny weather is associated with this type of air pressure system
high pressure
100
True or False: Water is compressible
False
100
This instrument measures wind speed
anemometer
200
When trees release water vapour
transpiration
200
These are the 6 factors that influence climate
surface properties, seasons, city vs rural, clouds, vegetation, and ocean currents
200
When the air particles are more densely put together, it is called what type of air pressure
high
200
Precipitation comes in 5 forms. What are they?
Sleet, Freezing Rain, Rain, Hail, and Snow
200
this instrument measures air temperature
thermometer
300
This is when water sits below the surface of the earth
ground water
300
True or False: At the equator, it's hotter because it is closer to the sun
False
300
When air molecules are more spread apart
low pressure
300
What are the three states of matter?
solid, liquid, gas
300
This instrument measures air pressure
barometer
400
When water trickles into the soil or rocks
percolation
400
The usual atmospheric conditions of a specific place over time
climate
400
low pressure systems often bring this type of weather
cool and rainy
400
This is the point at which the atmosphere can no longer hold water vapor
dew point
400
this instrument measures wind direction
wind vane
500
This is occurs when water goes directly from a solid to a gas
sublimation
500
This is what humans have created excess of, resulting in climate change.
pollution (excess Carbon Dioxide)
500
These are the three forces that cause wind to move in a predicted way
Coriolis force, friction, and pressure gradient force
500
Water droplets that collect on the ground and objects at a certain temperature
dew
500
this instrument measures the volume of precipitation
 rain guage
