200
A liquid turns into a gas during this stage of the Water Cycle
What is Evaporation
200
THis weather tool measures wind speed
What is anemometer
200
This is the layer of the atmosphere that the commercial planes fly at
What is the Stratosphere
200
When one air mass meets another
What is a front
300
This climate is hot and rainy for most of the year
What is tropical climate

Meteorologists use these tools to predict the weather
What is radar and satellites
300
THis is the layer of the atmosphere that we live in. Weather also occurs here.
What is the troposphere
300
This forms when a bunch of small cold fronts from Canada and a bunch of small warm fronts from the Gulf of Mexico collide in the Great Plains of the United States
What is a Tornado

400
This weather tool measures the humidity in the air
What is an Hygrometer
400
This is unseen, tasteless and ordorless. It takes up space and is made up nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, water vapor and other gases
What is air
400
4 properties scientists look at to forecast weather
What is Temperature, Humidity, Air Pressure and WInd
500
Polar, Temperate, Tropical
What are the three climate zones
500
Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation
What are the 3 stages of the water cycle
500
Temperature is measure in these Units
What is Degrees F/C
500
The process in which heat from the earth is trapped by the atmosphere
What is The Greenhouse Effect
500
The change of a solid to a liquid. THis happens at or below 32 degrees celsius, or 0 degrees F
