This stage of the water cycle collects all the water that falls to the earth.
What is the collection stage of the water cycle.
200
THese clouds are low-level clouds and bring steady rain.
What are stratus clouds.
200
These are the three main climate factors.

Just how windy is it outside? This instrument will tell you.
What is an anemometer.
200
Meteors burn up in this layer of the atmosphere.
What is the mesosphere.
300
This stage of the water cycle occurs when water vapor molecules cool and join together to make a liquid.
What is the condensation stage of the water cycle.
300
These are high-level clouds that indicate fair weather, but also indicate changing weather.
What are cirrus clouds.
300
The sun's rays are really responsible for the effects of this climate factor
What is latitude.

This instrument measures air pressure in millibars.
What is a barometer.
300
Airplanes and hot air balloons can fly in this allayer of the atmosphere.
What is the stratosphere.
400
This stage of the water cycle occurs when the sun warms the water molecules and turns the liquid into a gas.
What is the evaporation stage of the water cycle.
400
These towering clouds can reach heights of over 40,000 feet and bring thunderstorms.
