1 Q5: Fluffy and white Low clouds with float bottoms, these clouds indicate fair weather; think “cool whip” Q1: Flat, hazy, straight; featureless clouds of low altitude; often associated with light mist or drizzle Q6: A tornado is best described as… Q2:Which type of storm causes the most flooding in areas located near an ocean coastline? Q7: The instrument used to measure wind speed is called- Q3: Different types of clouds are associated with different types of weather. During a thunderstorm the clouds to look for are called- Q4: A whirling mass of cool, dry air with winds spiraling in a clockwise rotation in the Northern Hemisphere Q8: Which weather term best describes the terms below? RAIN, SNOW, SLEET Weather and Beyond

2 A5: Cumulus clouds A1: Stratus clouds A2: Hurricane
A6: a rotating funnel-shaped cloud with strong winds and thunderstorms A7: Anemometer A3: Cumulonimbus A8: Precipitation A4: High pressure system, represented by a blue H on a weather map

3 Q9: In a line graph it runs horizontally (flat) it has numbers representing different time periods or names of things being compared Q13: Which instrument could help you figure out if it is a good day to fly a kite? Q14: During stormy weather, the clouds found in the sky are known as- Q10: Formed over water near the equator when warm air rises quickly causing a whirling storm with high winds and heavy rains is- Q11: Meteorologist use a ___________to measure the amount of precipitation during a storm. Q15: Helping to predict the weather a _________ is used to measure the air pressure. Q16: A thermometer is one instrument used to study weather. It is used to measure… Q12: A scientist who studies the atmosphere and gathers data by using a variety of instruments is called a- Weather and Beyond

4 A13: An anemometer which measures wind speed.
A9: The x-axis A14: Cumulonimbus A10: Hurricane A11: Rain Gauge A15: Barometer A16: temperature which is how hot or cold the air is A12: Meteorologist

5 Q22: What type of weather system brings calm weather?
Q17: The weight of the air above us (in the atmosphere) pressing down on us and measured by a barometer is know as - Q21: A meteorologist makes a prediction of future events based on previously recorded or gathered data. This is called- Q18: A whirling mass of warm, moist air with winds spiraling in a counterclockwise rotation in the North Hemisphere Q22: What type of weather system brings calm weather? Q19: The weather forecast announces stormy weather is coming, what type of system is at work? Q23: Precipitation that falls to earth in drops more than 0.5mm in diameter Q20: Precipitation in the form of ice crystals, formed directly from the freezing of the water vapor in the air Q24: Used by meteorologists this graph shows a change in data over a period of time Weather and Beyond

6 A21: a forecast A17: Air Pressure A22: High pressure A18: Low pressure system, represented by a red L on a weather map A19: Low pressure system A23: Rain A24: Line graph; the shape of the graph shows whether something has increased, decreased, or stayed the same A20: Snow

7 Q26: The boundary between air masses of different temperatures and
Q25: When meteorologist notice an increasing or decreasing of data, they notice what is called a - Q29: A local storm produced by a cumulonimbus cloud and accompanied by lightning and thunder is called- Q26: The boundary between air masses of different temperatures and humidity is called- Q30: A boundary between two air masses, one cold and the other warm, moving so that the colder air replaces the warmer air; can cause rain, snow, or violent storms. Q27: A boundary between two air masses, one cool and the other warm, moving so that the warmer air replaces the cooler air; can produce clouds, rain, drizzle, or snow. Q31: Thin, wispy, feathery strands of high clouds that often indicate that rain or snow will fall within several hours are called- Q28: A measurement is made to determine the temperature in the city of Centreville. What tool or instrument was used? Q32: In a line graph, the line that runs vertically (up and down) and has numbers for the amount of stuff being measured: starts at 0 and is divided into equal parts Weather and Beyond

8 A29: A thunderstorm A30: A cold front A31: Cirrus clouds
A25: Trend A30: A cold front A26: A front A31: Cirrus clouds A27: A warm front A32: The y-axis A28: Thermometer
