100
Storms created over warm waters and carried by trade winds across the water.
What is a hurricane?
100
This AIR MASS will consist of moist, warm air.
What is a MARITIME TROPICAL AIR MASS?
100
This is what happens when the radiation from the sun warms the waters on our earth.
What is evaporation?
100
This is the source of energy that harnesses falling water.
What is hydropower?
100
This are the terms that relate to weather over a short period of time and a long period of time.
What are "weather" and "climate?"
200
This storm forms from continental polar air masses meeting maritime tropical air masses. Thunderstorms are present during these storms.
What is a tornado?
200
This AIR MASS will consist of cold and dry air.
What is a CONTINENTAL TROPICAL AIR MASS?
200
This is what happens when the air cools and forms clouds in the sky.
What is condensation?
200
This is a source of energy that utilizes uranium in pellet form.
What is nuclear energy?
200
This is the subsystem that includes landforms, rocks and soil.
What is geosphere?
300
Ranked as category 1 through category 5 depending on the wind speed associated with this storm.
What is a hurricane?
300
This type of cloud appears high in the sky and is soft and wispy.
What is a CIRRUS CLOUD?
300
This is what happens when clouds release rain, sleet, snow, etc.
What is precipitation?
300
Solar, wind, and hydro are all this type of energy.
What is renewable?
300
This is the front where warm air overtakes cooler air.
What is a warm front?
400
This storm has heavy precipitation, strong winds, and surface air temperatures below 32 degrees.
What is a blizzard?
400
This happens to AIR PRESSURE as ALTITUDE INCREASES.
What is a LOW PRESSURE?
400
This is when the precipitation gathers in rivers, lakes, streams, etc.
What is runoff?

These are ways that we can reduce the negative impact on our environment.
What is reducing, reusing, recycling, carpooling, planting trees, using less electricity and water...
400
This is the atmospheric layer where plants, animals, and humans live. It is also where our weather occurs.
What is troposphere?
500
List the factors that make up BOTH TORNADOES and HURRICANES....
What are: Tornadoes: beginning with heavy thunderstorms, wind, and funnel clouds; bring on violent wind speeds and power capable of picking up heavy objects and tossing debris... Hurricanes: forming over warm ocean waters, consisting of strong winds, a calm eye; causing storm surges that cause flooding, wind damage....

These are the parts of the water cycle.
What are evaporation, condensation, precipitation, runoff, and transpiration?
500
This is the explanation of how increasing our greenhouse gases is harmful to our environment.
What is the thickening of our ozone layer, which reflects heat back to us? What is the creating of holes in the ozone layer, which causes the sun's UV rays to enter our atmosphere?
