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

What is evaporate?

Clouds are made up of this

What are tiny drops of water or water vapor?

One of these is NOT a form of precipitation: Rain Sleet Snow Fog Freezing Rain Hail

What is fog?

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

What is precipitation?

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

What is condense?

This measures the wind direction

What is a weather vane?

This measures the amount of precipitation

What is a rain gauge?

This measures the speed of the wind

What is an anemometer?

This measures the force exerted by the weight of the air

What is a barometer?

This measures the amount of water vapor in the air

What is a hygrometer?

The boundary between two air masses

What is a front?

The direction air masses generally move in the US

What is from west to east?

A curved line with rounded bumps on a weather map

What is a warm front?

This is associated with a very rapid weather change

What is a cold front?

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

What is a cold front?

These are “fair weather” clouds

What are cirrus and cumulus clouds?

This cloud type is the closest to the ground

What is fog?

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

What are cirrus clouds?

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

What is a stratus cloud?

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

What are hurricanes?

A scientist who studies weather

What is a meteorologist?

Movement of air

What is wind?

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

What are weather satellites?

This is associated with low or falling air pressure

What is rain or snow?

This indicates that there is clear, cooler weather ahead

What is a rising barometer?
