QuestionAnswer
The main source of energy for the atmosphere is the radioactivity tides the sun the moon
------- is the transfer of heat due to density differences in air reduction convection conduction reflection
A barometer is an instrument that can be used to measure air pressure humidity cloudiness temperature
The sun's rays are strongest or most direct around the Atlantic Ocean South Pole North Pole equator
Cool, dry weather is usually accompanied by high relative humidity low air pressure precipitation high air pressure
A drop in air pressure usually indicated that the air temp is falling approaching weather is cloudy and rainy weather will remain unchanged approaching weather is cool
Wind speeds are affected by differences in air pressure from one place to another ocean waves cloud types relative humidity
Precipitation occurs when there are southwest winds water drops in cloys grow large enough to fall air pressure rises an air mass is in place
the amount of water vapor in the air is described in terms of temperature relative humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure
the temp and moisture of an air mass are determined by its rate movement the area over which it is formed its direction of movement its direction of movement its size and shape
two forms of precipitation are wind and sun snow and wind wind and rain rain and snow
molecules in hotter objects move __those in cooler objects more rapidly more slowly at the same rate as away from
___ refers to the present state of the atmosphere dew ponit humidity climate weather
A group of scientists measures the temp. of the ground and the air above that surface at three locations. Which location would you expect to have the strongest updrafts? and area where the surface temp is the same as the air above it an area where the surface temp is slightly higher than the air above it an area where the surface temp. is much greater than the air above it and area where the surface temp is lower than the air above it
Which location would you expect to have the strongest updrafts? a small amount of land that is 20 degrees warmer than the air above it a small amount of land that is 20 degrees cooler than the air above it a large amount of land that is 20 degrees cooler then the air above it a large amount of land that is also 20 degrees warmer than the air above it
Air currents develop when cool air sinks and forces warm air somewhere else to rise other cool air to move a low -pressure area to move a high-pressure area to move

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
