| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Air in the atmosphere has less pressure because the higher you go (altitude) air pressure decreases | because the higher you go (altitude) air pressure decreases |
| What layer is the ozone found in? | stratosphere |
| 3. List the layers of the atmosphere in order from Earth to space. | Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere. |
| What are the two most abundant gases in the atmosphere? | Nitrogen and oxygen |
| What happens to the temperature as you travel up through the troposphere? | Gets colder. |
| In which layer of the atmosphere do we find gasses needed for weather conditions? | Troposphere. |
| Rain is most likely to occur when temperatures | are above freezing. (32F) |
| What would happen if water could evaporate, but not condense | ere would be no clouds and without clouds there would be no precipitation. |
| During which process of the water cycle does water vapor cool to form clouds | Condensation |
| The water on the earth has been here | millions of years |
| Be able to draw the water cycle including = water. | evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, surface runoff and ground |
| Which kind of cloud produces thunderstorms | cumulonimbus |
| Where do hurricanes develop | warm tropical oceans |
| Clouds that can be described as cotton balls | cumulus clouds |
| Thin, white feathery clouds made of ice crystals | cirrus |
| What is the greatest source of water entering the atmosphere through evaporation | oceans |
| The eye of the hurricane | is calm |
| Along a warm front, the warmer less dense air rises above the cold air producing | long periods of rain or precipitation |
| Fronts occur at | the boundary of two unequal air masses. |
| Precipitation and storms occur | in low pressure systems. |
| A hurricane is a | low pressure system with very high winds and forms over warm oceans. |
| Cool air masses tend to be | heavier/dense and flow under warm air masses |
| What has helped us to have more accurate weather forecasting | Technology |
| People who study the weather and predict the forecast are known as = | meteorologist. |
| What measures wind speed | = Anemometer |
| Relative humidly can be measured with | = a sling psychromoter |
| Air pressure is measured with . | a barometer |
