This is the transfer of heat from oe substance to another substance through direct contact.
What is conduction?
100
This is the type of weather in low pressure areas.
What is cloudy, wet, and tumultuous?
100
This is cool ocean air replacing warm air rising from the land during the day.
What are sea breezes?
100
This is the way clouds form.
What is air rises in low pressure areas so that water vapor in the air condenses in the atmosphere?
100
This is the boundary between two air masses.
What is a front?
200
This is the transfer of heat that occurs in moving fluids caused by the circulation of currents form one region to another.
What is convection?
200
This is the weather in high pressure areas.
What is clear and sunny?
200
This is cool land air replacing warm air rising from the ocean during the night.
What are land breezes?
200
This is a method of bringing precipitation by releasing certain particles into the clouds. In order to form into rain-sized droplets, water vapor must form around these particles.
What is cloud seeding?
200
This is humidity.
What is the amount of water vapor in the air?
300
This is the transfer of heat through the space or matter by waves.
What is radiation?
300
This is an instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure.
What is a barometer?
300
Wind blows because of differences in this.
What is air pressure?
300
This is the way lightening is formed.
What is when positive and negative charges build up inside a thunder cloud?
300
This is relative humidity.
What is the amount of water vapor in the air compared with the amount that the air can hold at that particular temperature?
400
These are the three types of thermometers that meterologists use.
What are mercury thermometers, bimetal thermometers, and electrical thermometers?
400
Two things that account for differences in atmospheric pressure according to our notes.
What is temperature and humidity?
400
Westerlies blow air from this direction.
What is west to east?
400
These are the three stages of a thunderstorm. (Describe each)
What are cumulus stage, mature stage, and the final stage where the thunderstorm dies out as its supply of water vapor decreases?
400
These are several instruments used to gather data on weather. Name at least three.
What are weather balloons, radiosondes, radar, weather satellites, and computers?
500
The amount of heat that reaches a region and creates seasons depends on this.
What is the Earth's tilt?
500
Meterologists analyze air pressures by plotting these on weather maps.
What are isobars?
500
The Beaufort Wind Scale measures this
What is wind speed?
500
This is the way cirrus clouds are formed.
What is from ice crystals?
500
This is when cold air overtakes a warm air mass and lifts it entirely off the ground.
