Weather wind ClimateKey Terms
The movement of water from earth
to the atmosphere, and
back to earth.
C1 $100
What is the Water cycle?
C1? $100
The blanket of air surrounding
earth is.
C1 $200
What is the Atmosphere?
C1 $200
The layer of air closest to
Earth’s surface.
C1 $300
What is the troposphere?
C1 $300
The border between two air masses.

The final Jeopardy answer is:C1 final
How do mountain ranges affect weather in the
surrounding area?Include information about Air
Masses & Precipitation on both sides of the mountain.
C1 finalAs air moves up and over
mountain ranges, the air cools. Much of the water vapor condenses, resulting in precipitation. At higher elevations, with colder
temperatures, snow will be the main form of precipitation. When air passes to the other side of the
mountains, most of the water vapor will no longer be present.
The air will warm as it comes down the mountain. There will be
little or no
precipitation.
C2 $100The process by which water
changes from a liquid to a gas.
C2 $100
What is evaporation?
C2 $200
The process by which a gas turns into a
liquid.
C2 $200
What is condensation?
C2 $300
A large body of air that has the same temperature and
humidity throughout.
C2 $300
What is a air mass?
C2 $400
The weight of the atmosphere
pressing down on earth.
C2 $400
What is air pressure?
C2 $500
If it is a cold, rainy day, and the weather forecast for
tomorrow is warm and sunny; what could you predict about the amount of evaporation that will occur tomorrow
compared to today?
C2 $500
The amount of evaporation will be greater tomorrow
because sunlight provides the energy that causes
water to evaporate.
C3 $100
The instrument you would use to measure the pressure of the surrounding air.
C3 $100
What is a barometer?
C3 $200
True or False?
Cold air is denser than warm air, warm air
exerts more pressure.
C3 $200
FalseCold air is denser
than warm air, cold air exerts more
pressure.
C3 $300
Layer of the atmosphere where most of the Earth’s weather happens.
C3 $300
Where is the troposphere?
C3 $400
Has the greatest effect on humidity.
C3 $400
What is air temperature?
C3 $500
If you are at the Beach, which
direction does the wind blow, and
why?
C3 $500
The wind blows from the sea toward land because the air
over land is warmer than over the sea. The air over land
rises, and the air over the sea moves inland.
C4 $100
The wind that results from a local difference in temperature.
C4 $100
What is local wind?
C4 $200
Is used to measure wind speed.
C4 $200
What is a anemometer?
C4 $300
The cause of prevailing winds moving in curved paths.
C4 $300
What is Earth’s rotation on it’s
axis?
C4 $400
The name of a wind that blows constantly from the same direction.
C4 $400
What are prevailing
winds?
C4 $500
If you are leaving on a vacation today and the weather forecaster says there is a continental polar air mass over the area now and tomorrow a maritime tropical air mass will move in. What weather can you expect today, and how will the weather change tomorrow?
C4 $500
The continental polar air mass will provide cool a dry
weather, and tomorrow the maritime tropical air mass will
provide hot and humid weather with the possibility of thunderstorms and perhaps
even a hurricane.
C5 $100
The layer of the atmosphere that contains protective gases.
C5 $100
What is the ozone layer?
C5 $200
The weather patterns you know when the winter weather where you live is about the same every year.
C5 $200
What is the climate?
C5 $300
The four types of precipitation.
C5 $300
What are: rain, snow, sleet, and
hail?
C5 $400
The air mass that forms over you when you are on an island in the Caribbean.
C5 $400
What is a Maritime
Tropical air mass?
C5 $500
How does local wind make the seashore a comfortable place to be on hot summer days?
C5 $500
Due to uneven heating of land and water, there is
always a cool breeze inland from the sea on
hot summer days.
