3. Energy from the sun warms the water on the earth causing it to do this

4. What is evaporate?

5. Clouds are made up of this

6. What are tiny drops of water or water vapor?

7. One of these is NOT a form of precipitation: RainSleetSnowFog Freezing Rain Hail

8. What is fog?

9. As more and more tiny droplets of liquid form in a cloud, they combine and get heavier causing this

10. What is precipitation?

11. As warm moist air rises, it begins to cool, which causes the water vapor in the air to do this

12. What is condense?

13. This measures the wind direction

14. What is a weather vane?

15. This measures the amount of precipitation

16. What is a rain gauge?

17. This measures the speed of the wind

18. What is an anemometer?

19. This measures the force exerted by the weight of the air

20. What is a barometer?

21. This measures the amount of water vapor in the air

22. What is a hygrometer?

23. The boundary between two air masses

24. What is a front?

25. The direction air masses generally move in the US

26. What is from west to east?

27. A curved line with rounded bumps on a weather map

28. What is a warm front?

29. This is associated with a very rapid weather change

30. What is a cold front?

31. This is when a cold air mass pushes out a warm air mass, often bringing thunderstorms, or heavy rains, followed by sunshine and cool weather

32. What is a cold front?

33. These are “fair weather” clouds

34. What are cirrus and cumulus clouds?

35. This cloud type is the closest to the ground

36. What is fog?

37. This type of cloud is thin, wispy, and high in the sky

38. What are cirrus clouds?

39. Low to the ground, flat and gray, this cloud type often brings steady rain or snow

40. What is a stratus cloud?

41. Starting over the Atlantic Ocean near the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, these are the largest and most powerful of storms

42. What are hurricanes?

43. A scientist who studies weather

44. What is a meteorologist?

45. Movement of air

46. What is wind?

47. Instruments in space that collect weather data and take pictures of cloud cover

48. What are weather satellites?

49. This is associated with low or falling air pressure

50. What is rain or snow?

51. This indicates that there is clear, cooler weather ahead

52. What is a rising barometer?
