• 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
• Rain
• Sleet
• Snow
• Fog
• 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 awarm 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 arecirrus 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?
