Question
Answer
weather   weather is the result of many factors. air temp, air pressure, humidity , cloud cover, wind speed and direction, precepetation and sunshine  
🗑
jet stream   strong winds caused by differences in air temp and air pressure. They are found at the very top of the tropsphere  
🗑
ozone layer   a gas that exists in the statosphere that protects us from the suns ultra violet rays  
🗑
stratosphere   second layer of the atmospher. 19% of our gases is here. Jets fly here because there is less wind.  
🗑
troposphere   1st layer of the atmospher. All of our weather takes place here. 80% of our air is here.  
🗑
atmosphere   a blanket of gases that surrounds the earth. our weather takes place in its lowest layer.  
🗑
Thermometer   tool used to measure temperature  
🗑
Meterologist   people who study the weather and try to froecast or predict the weather  
🗑
Air Pressure   the amount that air pressure pushes on anything  
🗑
High Pressure Area   a place where cool air sinks and pushes down on the earths surface with more pressuer  
🗑
Colder   When there is high pressure it is ..  
🗑
Low Air pressure   a place where warm air rises and pushes down on the earths surface with less air  
🗑
warmer   when there is low pressure it is ...  
🗑
Barometer   a tool that measures air pressure  
🗑
Anemometer   a tool that measures wind speed  
🗑
Clouds form   clouds form when water vapor rises up into the troposphere and cools. This causes it to condense back to water droplets which stay together as clouds.  
🗑
Stratus Clouds   stratus clouds blanket the sky in layers, they are grayish looking and often bring precipitation. Blanket  
🗑
what makes rain   stratus clouds  
🗑
Cumulus Cloud   Cumulus are puffy, flat based clouds which often look like balls of cotton. They usually indicate fair weather.  
🗑
Cirrus Clouds   Cirrus clouds are thin and feathery looking they flout very high in the sky and are made of tiny ice crystals.  
🗑
Precipitation   moisture that falls from clouds to the ground in the form of rain, snow, sleet and hail  
🗑
Wind Vane   a tool that shows wind direction  
🗑
Rain gauge   a tool that measures precipitation  
🗑
Humidity   the amound of water vapor in the air.  
🗑
Hygrometer   a tool that measures humidity.  
🗑
Water Cycle   the water cycle is an exchange of water between the earth and the atmosphere. There are three stages.  
🗑
Evaporation   heat causes water (a liquid) to slowly evaporate or change from a liquid to a gas. this is called water vapor  
🗑
Condensation   when water vapor cools it may condense or change back to liquid.  
🗑
