Which will be warmer: a blacktop or a snowy hill?
What is a blacktop.
100
Rain is defined as this.
What is water falling from the sky.
100
The state of the atmosphere at a certain time and in a specific place, as defined by temperature, precipitation, air pressure, and humidity is called this.
What is weather.

34 degrees C The "C" stands for this.
What is celsius.
200
We call liquid falling from clouds this.
What is precipitation.
200
This is the main cause of weather on Earth.
What is energy from the Sun!
200
We call light snow this.
What are flurries.
200
Define wind.
What is hot air rising and cool air rushing in to fill the space.
300
Fahrenheit is defined as this.
What is the unit for measuring temperature in the U.S.
300
"Wow! What beautiful weather today!" What type of clouds are we most likely to see?
What are cumulus clouds.
300
Describe how the sun influences precipitation.
What is the sun is the main cause of the water cycle, which includes precipitation.
300
This type of cloud predicts that precipitation will happen.
What are stratus clouds.
300
The weather patterns in an area over time is called this.
What is climate.
400
Water freezes at this temperature in Fahrenheit.
What is 32 degrees F.
400
Lighting comes from this type of cloud.
What are cumulonimbus clouds.
400
Describe why the equator is warmer than the poles.
What is because the way the Earth is shaped (the Sun hits the equator much more directly than the poles). Also, the energy from the sun reflects off the ice on the poles, while it is absorbed by the ocean because of the darker color.
400

What is 100 degrees C.
500
Because stratus clouds are so low, they cause this type of weather.
What is fog.

Describe how the sun influences air movement on Earth.
What is (discuss hot and cold air moving and the effect of the sun on ocean currents).
500
These types of precipitation can only happen when the temperature is under 32 degrees F.
What is snow, hail, and sleet.
500
The weight of water molecules in the sky causes this.
What is air pressure.
