This causes one side of a mountain to have a wet climate while the other side has a dry climate.
What is the rain shadow effect?
100
This type of wind results from a local difference in temperature.
What is a local wind?

These weather instruments measure wind direction.
What is wind socks and wind vanes?
100
This is a blanket of air that surrounds Earth.
What is the atmosphere?
100
This is a type of resource that can be replaced within a human lifetime.(Ex. water, air)
What is a renewable resource?
200
These natural forms on land can effect the weather because they cause changes in air pressure.
What are landforms?
200
These are types of global winds that always blow from the same direction and are caused by uneven heating of large areas of Earth's surface.
What are prevailing winds?
200
This is a weather instrument that measures air temperature.

This layer of the atmosphere is 13 miles thick and contains almost 90% of the gasses in the atmosphere.
What is the troposphere?
400
The weight of the atmosphere pressing down on Earth is this.
What is air pressure?
500
This is the average of weather conditions over many years.
What is the climate?
500
This type of front forms when a cold air mass moves under a warm air mass.
What is a cold front
500
This weather instrument measures air pressure
What is a barometer?
500
This is the layer after the troposphere and contains most of the ozone.
What is the stratosphere?
500
Uneven heating of the atmosphere is a result from this.
