100
This tool measures temperature.
What is a thermometer?
100
This climate zone receives the least amount of sunlight.
What is the polar climate zone?
100
The source of energy for the water cycle.
What is the sun?
100
This form a precipitation is a liquid.
What is rain?
100
This is the temperature at which water freezes.
What is 0 degrees Celcius OR 32 degrees Farenheit?
200
This tool measures air pressure.
What is barometer?
200
How does elevation affect the temperature of a climate?
What is the higher the elevation the colder the temperatures, and the lower the elevation the warmer the temperatures?
200
This is where most of Earth's evaporated water comes from.
What are the oceans?
200
A solid form of precipitation that can occur at temperatures above 32 degrees farenheit.
What is hail?
200
This biome has very few plants because of it's dry climate.
What are deserts?
300
This tool measures humidity.
What is a hygrometer?
300
How does latitude affect the temperatures of a climate zone?
What is as latitude increases, temperatures decrease and as latitude decreases, temperatures increase?
300
When the particles in a liquid change, spread out and move faster they become this state.
What is a gas?
300
This type of precipitation is a combination of ice crystals and water.
What is sleet?
300
A change in air pressure usually indicates a change in this.
What is weather?
400
This tool measures wind direction.
What is a wind vane?
400
This climate zone is known for having four seasons, warm summers and cool winters.
What is the temperate climate zone?
400
When the surface of the Earth becomes warmer, more of this occurs.
What is evaporation?
400
Precipitation occurs mostly is this type of air pressure.
What is low air pressure?
400
This is the process in which water turns into water vapor.
What is evaporation?
500
This tool measures wind speed.
What is an anemometer?
500
True or False: Climate is a synonym for weather?
What is false?
500
Water falls as rain during this stage of the water cycle.
What is precipitation?
500
This occurs when precipitation hits mountains and hills and slides off into rivers, oceans and lakes.
What is runoff?
500
It is imporatant for scientists to record their procedures and data so that other scientists can do this.
What is repeat the experiment and compare results?
