Weather	Forms of Precipitation	Land Affects Weather	Climate	Severe Weather
100 What is atmosphere? Weather takes place in Earth's _________________, which is a mixture of invisible gases that surrounds a planet.	100 What are rain, snow, sleet and hail? The four types of precipitation are:	100 What is bodies of water can bring humidity and more moisture, mountains come with colder temperature due to elevation, etc. How do land features affect weather?	100 What is weather is the atmospheric conditions at one specific place and time and climate is the average atmospheric conditions of an area over an EXTENDED period of time? The difference between weather and climate is	100 What are thunderstorms, hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, droughts? Name 3 types of severe Weather
200 What is the downward force of gases, which changes with weather. Low pressure usually indicates rainy weather and high pressure usually indicates sunny weather. Barometric pressure is : __________ and the two are: ______ &__________	200 What is because the temperature in the clouds is usually below 0 degrees Celsius which is below freezing point of water? Why does most precipitation in the United States start as snow?	200 What is the rising and sinking of matter in a circular pattern due to differences in temperature? What is a convection current?	200 What is a places latitude? What is one of the main factors that influence climate?	200 What is land and water (water sprouts) Tornadoes can be formed over
300 What is TRUE? True or False: The name of the wind direction is based on FROM where the wind blows	300 What is sleet is when precipitation starts at snow, falls into warm air and melts then falls into very cold ground level air and freezes again. Hail is when precipitation gets blown into thunderstorm clouds with different temperatures causing multiple layers of frozen water to get heavy and fall on Earth. What is the difference between sleet and hail?	300 What is rises and sinks? Warm air _________ and cool air __________.	300 What is Temperate? The United States is located in what type of Climate Zone?	300 What is 1926? In what year did the Great Miami Hurricane Hit?
400 What is humidity is the water vapor in the air. Relative humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air relative to how much water vapor the air can hold out of 100% What are humidity and relative humidity?	400 What are Nimbus clouds? What cloud is most often associated with rain and other forms of precipitation?	400 What is mountains get very low pressure due to elevation. They also have colder temperatures the higher you go. The shape of the mountain can also cause the rain shadow effect which means one side of the mountain is very dry. Describe the different weather patterns that could affect Mountains.	400 What are: Tropical, Subtropical, Temperate Sub-polar, and Polar? Name 3 out of the 5 Climate zones:	400 What are have a plan, organize supplies, have a first aid kit, evacuate area, etc? What are three ways you can prepare for Natural Disaster?
500 What is circulation and convection? The large scale movement of air that redistributes heat on earth is called ___________ and this type of movement is also called ____________ which is a type of energy transfer	500 What is low pressure systems will form Nimbus clouds that will fill up with rain. When low pressure and high pressure systems meet they create wind. This wind along with the low pressure can easily form a thunderstorm. Name multiple weather conditions that could lead to very windy with rain.	500 What is Ecuador is located on the Equator and it receives direct sun rays. Due to the elevation in Quito, the city is actually fairly cold. The Galapagos are in low elevation and are very humid and a lot warmer. Ecuador overall is located in the Tropics. What where some interesting things about Ecuador's weather and climate? (Quito and Galapagos)	500 What is they are standards for certain atmospheric commons such as cold temperature in mountains and high moisture around water. Because of this it is most common that Climate overall is affected, not just weather. How do elevation and bodies of water affect climate?	500 What are cumulus, mature, and dissipation? What are the three stages of a thunderstorm?
