2. Rain, sleet, snow, or hail

3. Precipitation

4. Water rises into the air in the form of a liquid and changes into a gas (vapor)

5. Evaporation

6. Continuing movement of water from oceans or other bodies of water, up into the air, down to the land, and back to the oceans or bodies of water again

7. Water cycle

8. Water vapor in the air cools and forms water droplets

9. Condensation

10. Water as an invisible gas

11. vapor

12. How are clouds formed?

13. Vapor cools in the air and changes to water droplets; many water droplets make up a cloud

17. Nimbo or Nimbus

18. A fluffy, large white cloud that may be flat on the bottom and billowed on top

19. Cumulus

20. Clouds that are made of ice crystals and are the highest clouds?

21. Cirrus

22. Describe a cumulonimbus cloud.

23. Clouds that billow upward, flat and dark on the bottom, storm cloud associated with rain, thunder, lightning, and tornadoes

24. Weather is a bunch of events that happen daily in the atmosphere all over the world. True or False

25. True

26. Define “climate.”

27. Average weather in a location over a long period of time

28. What is the difference between weather and climate?

30. Describe a desert climate.

31. Doesn’t get much rain

32. What weather tool is used to measure air temperature?

33. Thermometer

34. What weather tool measures air pressure?

35. Barometer

36. What instrument would tell if the wind is blowing from the northeast?

37. Weather Vane

38. What tool would measure the speed of the wind?

39. Anemometer

40. The humidity is 33% and the dew point is 32 degrees. What tool measures both of these?

41. Sling Psychrometer

42. Share, in order, the FOUR main parts of the water cycle (you may sing it if you want ).

43. Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation, Accumulation

44. What is an example of evaporation?

45. A rain puddle disappears on the ground when the sun comes out Boiling water goes up into the air

46. What is an example of condensation?

47. A cloud forming Steam on a mirror Fog

48. What factors effect the speed of evaporation?

49. Air temperature Surface area How much humidity is in the air

50. On a cold winter day why are you able to see your breath? Why all of a sudden does it disappear?

51. Your warm breath meets the cold air and condenses (forms water droplets, it looks like a cloud). Then, the vapor cools and evaporates into the atmosphere.
