Describing Weather	Weather Patterns	Severe Weather	Climates of Earth	Chapter 3 OVERALL
100 What is weather? Atmospheric conditions, along with short term change, of a certain place at a certain time define	100 What are air masses? When large bodies of air have uniform temperature, humidity, and pressure they are called	100 What are cumulus, mature and dissipation stage? What are the three stages of a thunderstorm?	100 What is climate? The long-term average weather conditions that occur in a particular region is	100 What is stratus, cumulus, cirrus, nimbus, cumulonimbus...? Name 5 different clouds
200 What is air temperature? The measure of the average kinetic energy molecules in the air is called	200 What is LPS has lower pressure at its center and high around it, a HPS has high temperature in the center and low around it. Air moves differently in each one What is the difference between a low pressure system and a high pressure system	200 what is thunderstorms, hurricanes, and as waterspouts? What are the three way tornadoes are formed?	200 Urban Heat Islands, forests, etc Give an example of a microclimate	200 What is narrow bands of high wind in the troposphere What are jet streams?
300 What is air pressure decreases as altitude increases? so at earth's surface it is greater Where is air pressure higher at earth's surface or high in the atmosphere?	300 What is arctic air masses, continental polar air masses,maritime polar air masses, continental tropical air masses, maritime tropical air masses? Name 3 air masses	300 What is a hurricane? A tropical storm with winds exceeding 119km/h is considered a	300 As altitude increases temperature decreases, so it is colder in mountains everywhere. The closer you are to the equator the hotter it is, the further away it gets colder. How do altitude and latitude affect climate?	300 Weather is atmospheric conditions in a short period of time that can change daily and climate is the overall condition over a long period of time. What is the difference between weather and climate?
400 What is the amount of water vapor present in the air compared to the maximum amount of water vapor the air could contain at a temperature. Measure with a psychrometer Define relative humidity	400 What is a warm front forms? What happens when less dense, warmer air moves toward colder, denser air?	400 Water that has been blown out upward from the center of the hurricane that eventually sweeps up to the coastline as large waves Define a storm surge	400 What is specific heat? The amount of (joules) of thermal energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a material by 1 degree Celsius is called
500 What is dew point? The temperature at which air is saturated and condensation occurs is called the	500 What is stationary fronts form when the boundary between two air masses stalls. (cold air on one side and warm air in the other) Occluded fronts form when fast moving cold fronts catch up to slow moving warm fronts. ( warm air on top of cold air pushing down precipitation) What is the difference between stationary and occluded fronts?	500 Extreme heat, drought, floods and wildfires Name 4 "other" natural events	500 Forced adaptations, crop growing schedules, architecture. What is one way climate affects living organisms?
