Water Cycle
The process of changing from a liquid to a gas
evaporation
A thermometer measures this
is temperature
sing a song that contain the word love
_______________________
the name of a scientist that predicts the weather
is a meteorologist
say the multiplication table of 5
_______________
The process of changing from a gas back to a liquid
is condensation
Used to measure the amount of rain from a storm.
is a rain gauge
When you see a blue line with triangles moving on a map this indicates what?
is a cold front
the gas that surrounds the Earth (and other planets and stars)
is the atmosphere
an extremely destructive funnel-shaped rotating column of air that passes in a narrow path over land
is a tornado
Hail, rain, sleet, snow, and freezing rain are examples of this.
is precipitation
A barometer measures this.
is air pressure
Before a storm, this happens to the barometric pressure of an area
is the barometric pressure decreases
rain that falls as liquid but turns to ice on contact with a freezing object or surface to form smooth ice
is freezing rain
a low-pressure system with wind speeds over 119 kilometers per hour that forms over the ocean.
is a hurricane
The main source of energy that causes changes in the water on earth.
is the sun
This instrument measures the relative humidity in the air.
is a psychrometer
High pressure means there will be...
____________________
precipitation, in the form of large balls of ice, which forms in layers caused when raindrops are forced up and down through colder then warmer air layers found in thunderstorms
is hail
the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere where weather occurs.
is the troposphere
139 + 879
1018
These are used to predict the weather today.
computers and scientific equipment
say the multiplication table of 7
_______________
forms as falling rain then passes through a freezing layer of air forming hard, clear, tiny ice pellets. (freezes in mid air)
is sleet
Explain why water on Earth can change forms but the amount of water on Earth will never change.
Because water is constantly moving through the water cycle. It can evaporate into a gas and then turn back into a liquid and fall back to Earth, but it is never created or destroyed.
