What is a Weather?
What instrument measures temperature?
What is a thermometer?
thin, layered, spread out (blanket the sky) (think: layers) Low level cloud.
What are stratus clouds?
The conversion from a liquid to a gas. (Sun shining on the ocean and turning the liquid water into water vapor)
What is evaporation?
What the weather is like over a long period of time in a specific area.
What is climate?
What instrument measures the air pressure?
What is a barometer?
puffy, produce heavy thunderstorms in the summer (think: heaps). We find these clouds in fair weather. Low level cloud.
What are cumulus clouds?
A front where a cold air mass is replacing a warm air mass. When a cold front passes through, the temperature will drop. Cold fronts can cause a narrow line of storms and can cause the weather to change rapidly.
What is a cold front?
The conversion of gas to a liquid. When water vapor rises, it gets cooler which means the water vapor starts to turn into liquid. (hint it forms on the outside of a glass or window sometimes)

What is a Stationary front?
The process of water that is collecting in rivers, lakes, streams, oceans and other bodies of water.
What is accumulation?
There is a cold front coming in from the west!
What is weather?
What type of instrument measures the wind direction?
What is a wind vane?
a cloud that produces precipitation. Usually he precipitation reaches the ground as rain, hail, snow or sleet.
What is a Nimbus cloud?
A front that occurs when a cold air mass takes over a warm air mass.
What is an occluded front?
