Warm air rises and does not press much on the earth's surface.
What is a low pressure area?
100
I measure the speed of wind.
What is anemometer?
100
This type of precipitation is formed in very cold clouds when the water vapor freezes into ice crystals.
What is snow?
100
Water that falls from the sky
Precipitation
200
Name 3 types of clouds
What is cumulous, stratus and cirrus
200
The push of air against its surroundings.
What is air pressure?
200
if you have a fever or to meausre the temperature of the air, use me
What is a thermometer
200
This type of precipitation forms when water molecules join together until they are so heavy that they fall to the Earth.
What is rain?
200
form in clouds where the temperature is below freezing as ice crystals or groups of many ice crystals called snowflakes

What is a barometer?

I tell you what direction the wind is blowing.
What is a wind (weather) vane?
300
forms when a partially melted snowflake that has traveled through a warm layer of air or raindrop fall through a freezing layer of air. This last layer causes the raindrop to freeze or the melted snowflake to refreeze
sleet
400
what type of cloud appears as a blanket covering the sky?
What is Stratus
400
Cold air sinks and presses on the ground.
What is a high pressure area?
400
Curious about how much rain fell in a certain period of time? Use me to measure it.
What is a rain gauge?
400
This type of precipitation freezes and is pushed back into the air by the wind to collect more freezing rain before it finally gets too heavy and falls to the ground.
What is hail?
400
falls when the water making up clouds has become heavy enough to fall to Earth
rain
500
clouds form when this kind of air rises, expands and cools.
What is warm air
500
The type of weather you can expect with a high pressure area.
What is fairly stable and usually fair weather (Happy Weather)?
500
Use this tool to measure the humidity in the air.
What is a hygrometer?
500
You can expect this type of weather when you see this symbol on a weather map.
What is fair (happy) weather?
500
Forms in the tallest clouds, when it is very hot and humid
