Wind is measured by what two weather tools? Wind Surfing 100 Wind is measured by what two weather tools? Anemometer measures wind speed and a wind vane measures wind direction. The wind vane points in the direction the wind is coming from.

Air masses flow from regions of high pressure to low pressure. Wind Surfing 200 Air masses flow from regions of what kind of air pressure to what kind air pressure? Air masses flow from regions of high pressure to low pressure.

Wind Surfing 400 What is weather? Weather is everything that occurs in the atmosphere at a particular place and time. It is defined as: humidity, pressure, temperature, wind, and precipitation.

Drop in pressure and increase in wind Wind Surfing 300 What are two weather factors that help predict that a storm is approaching? Drop in pressure and increase in wind

Weather moves across the US generally in which direction? Wind Surfing 500 Weather moves across the US generally in which direction? West to East.

Climate 100 What is climate? Climate is the weather patterns of a region averaged over several years.

See the climate graph for Seattle. Which month receives the most rain? November

Check the climate data to know the weather averages over time. I want to travel to Costa Rica in 2018. Would it be better to check weather data or climate data to know what season is best for travelling? Check the climate data to know the weather averages over time.

During which season are the temperatures the highest? Climate 400 During which season are the temperatures the highest? Summer

Climate 500 Can climate data be used to predict severe weather storms? Why or why not? No. Climate data is the average weather patterns over years. Storms are rapid changes in the atmosphere.

What is the air pressure in Florida? Weather Forecast 100 What is the air pressure in Florida? What is High

What kind of a front is moving toward Washington? Weather Forecast 300 What kind of a front is moving toward Washington? What is a cold front

What is a stationary front Weather Forecast 200 What kind of front is Nebraska and South Dakota experiencing? What is a stationary front

What are properties of an air mass over the Gulf of Mexico? Weather Forecast 400 What are properties of an air mass over the Gulf of Mexico? Warm and humid

Which is El Paso- cold front Weather Forecast 500 Over which city, El Paso or New York are thundershowers more likely? Why? Which is El Paso- cold front

Rain Gauge. Precipitation includes rain, snow, hail. Weather Tools 100 What are examples of precipitation and what is the tool we use to measure it? Rain Gauge. Precipitation includes rain, snow, hail.

Why is it important to measure wind speed? Give two reasons. Weather Tools 200 Why is it important to measure wind speed? Give two reasons. Increase speed warns of a thunderstorm High winds can topple trees and tear off roofs

DAILY DOUBLE – Weather tool 300 The area where two air masses collide. front

Clear skies, fair weather Weather Tool 400 What kind of weather can we expect at a high pressure system? Clear skies, fair weather

What can we expect at a low pressure system? Weather Tool 500 What can we expect at a low pressure system? Clouds and rain

Air Masses and Fronts 100 What is an air mass? A large volume of air with similar temperature, pressure and humidity throughout

Effects: clouds, chance of rain, warmer temperatures. Air Masses and Fronts 200 Draw a warm front. What are the effects of a warm front passing by? Effects: clouds, chance of rain, warmer temperatures.

Which is denser, cold air or hot air? Air Masses and Fronts 300 Which is denser, cold air or hot air? What is cold air

Draw a cold front. Describe the effects of a cold front Air Masses and Fronts 400 Draw a cold front. Describe the effects of a cold front Effects: decrease in temperatures, cloudy, may have thunderstorms, may have precipitation.

Explain how clouds form at a front. Air Masses and Fronts 500 Explain how clouds form at a front. Warm, moist air rises above colder air because it is less dense. As it rises the air cools and water vapor condenses onto dust particles in the atmosphere creating a cloud.

What happens at stationary front? Draw the symbol. FINAL JEOPARDY! What happens at stationary front? Draw the symbol. Cold air and warm air are near each other but are not pushing into one another.
