Predicting Weather
100
The first step in the water cycle is evaporation.
What is the first step in the water cycle?
100
A body of air that has similar temperature, humidity, and air pressure.
What is air mass?
100
It has decreasing air pressure and they form stormy weather.
What pressure does a cyclone have at the center? And what weather does it bring?
100
A violent disturbance in the atmosphere is called a storm.
What is a storm?
100
The first step in predicting the weather is collecting data.
What is the first step in predicting the weather
200
Condensation is the step in between precipitation and evaporation.
What is the step in the water cycle in between precipitation and evaporation?
200
When a warm air mass gets caught in the middle of two cooler air masses.
What is an occluded front?
200
It has a high-pressure zone in the center. It brings calm, dry and clear weather.
What pressure does an anticyclone have at the center? And what weather does it bring?
200
A thunderstorm is a storm especially accompanied by lightning and thunder.
What is a thunderstorm?
200
People who study the weather and try to predict it.
Who are meteorologists?
300
Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air.
What is humidity?
300
A stationary front is when a warm air mass and a cold air mass meet but no air mass can push the other out of the area.
What is a stationary front?
300
When the meeting of air masses becomes distorted causing bends and then a low-pressure center is formed.
How is a low pressure center formed?
300
A rapid whirling funnel that from the sky touches the ground. They are formed in cumulonimbus clouds.
What is a tornado? And in which cloud is it formed in?
300
Lines joining places with a similar temperature.
What are isotherms?
400
Relative humidity is the amount of humidity in the air.
What is relative humidity?
400
Maritime tropicals are air masses that form over tropical oceans. Maritime polars occur over polar oceans.
What are Maritime tropical's and Maritime Polar's.
400
Anticyclones spin clockwise in the northern hemisphere
What direction do anticyclones spin in, in the northern hemisphere?
400
Snowstorms bring mass damage and they can cause problems for your eyes it also cools your body down rapidly.
What is the danger in a snow storm?
400
Lines joining places with similar barometric pressure.
What are isobars?
500
They are rain, sleet, hail, snow and freezing rain.
What are the 5 types of precipitation?
500
Continental tropicals occur over land on hot and dry climates. Continental polars form over land in Alaska and central Canada.
What are Continental tropicals and Continental polars?
500
The spin clockwise in the southern hemisphere.
Which way do cyclones spin in, in the southern hemisphere?
500
A hurricane develops over warm water forming a low-pressure area or a tropical disturbance. Hurricanes can also trigger storm surges which will bring mountain loads of water from the ocean to the land wiping out anything in its path.
How is a hurricane formed? And what other natural disasters can it trigger?
500
The butterfly effect is hen one small thing can change something bigger in the future. It affects the weather later on because if one wind pattern changes the weather that was supposed to hit you, hits a town 40 miles south of you 3 days after it was scheduled to hit.
What is the butterfly effect? And how can it change the weather
