4. Which clouds appear puffy and have a flat bottom?

5. Cumulus clouds

6. Which clouds form in blanket-like layers?

7. Stratus clouds

8. Which clouds appear wispy and feather-like?

9. Cirrus clouds

10. What are clouds made up of?

11. Clouds are made up of tiny water droplets or ice crystals.

12. This term is added to a cloud’s name if rain or snow falls from the cloud.

13. Nimbo or Nimbus

14. What is wind?

15. Air that moves horizontally.

16. Wind that blows from the sea to the land during the day is known as a ____.

17. Wind that blows from the sea to the land during the day is known as a sea breeze.

18. Air moves from areas of ________ to ___________.

19. Air moves from areas of high pressure to low pressure.

20. Air that rises is ____ pressure and air that sinks is ____ pressure.

21. Air that rises is low pressure and air that sinks is high pressure.

22. What causes a land breeze?

23. Air over the land cools more quickly than air over the water
Air over the land cools more quickly than air over the water. High pressure over the land replaces the low pressure over the water creating a land breeze.

24. Define precipitation.

25. Precipitation is any form of water particles that fall from the sky and reach the ground.

26. What factor determines whether precipitation will fall as rain or snow?

27. The temperature in the atmosphere determines whether precipitation falls as rain or snow.

28. What kind of precipitation would you expect from nimbostratus clouds?

29. Long-lasting precipitation with smaller drops of rain or snowflakes.

30. When does precipitation occur?

31. When water droplets or ice crystals in clouds join together and become heavy enough to fall.

32. What kinds of clouds produce hail and why?

33. Cumulonimbus clouds because they have updrafts that hurl ice crystals up and down creating hailstones.

34. When the sun shines on a puddle after it rains it causes the water to ___________.

35. When the sun shines on a puddle after it rains it causes the water to evaporate.

36. What happens to water vapor in the air as it rises and cools?

37. It condenses into tiny water droplets forming clouds.

38. What happens when water droplets in clouds become heavy enough to fall?

39. Precipitation occurs.

40. What happens to water after it precipitates and falls to the ground?

41. Several things could happen:
Run off the land/streets and accumulate into lakes, rivers, oceans (aka collection)
Seep into the ground and become groundwater
Evaporate back into the atmosphere

42. What is the source of energy in the water cycle?

43. The sun.

44. Define evaporation.

45. The process of water changing from a liquid to a gas.

46. Name the 3 primary types of clouds.

47. Cirrus, cumulus, and stratus.

48. Water in the gas state is called _____________.

49. Water in the gas state is called water vapor.

50. What is the measure of the amount of water vapor in the air called?

51. Humidity

52. Where does the moisture on the outside of a cold glass on a hot day come from?

53. It is water vapor from the air that condenses on the outside of the glass.

54. Make a detailed sketch of the water cycle
Make a detailed sketch of the water cycle. Make sure to label what is happening at each stage of the cycle.
ALL group members must participate and contribute to your sketch!
You have 3 min. to complete this.

55. Let’s see those sketches!
They MUST include:
-Evaporation from the ground
-Condensation to form clouds
-Precipitation falling from clouds
-Accumulation (or collection) with runoff on the ground and ground water seeping through the ground
