10. How is weather different from climate?

11. How is weather different from climate?
Weather is the condition of the atmosphere in a certain place at a certain time; climate is the average weather condition in an area of a long period of time

12. If the temperatures in an area range from -30o C to 10o C throughout the year, in which climate zone is the area most likely located? temperate, polar, or tropical

13. If the temperatures in an area range from -30o C to 10o C throughout the year, in which climate zone is the area most likely located? temperate, polar, or tropical

14. Match the type of cloud to its description:
stratus a. form at high altitudes; mainly made of ice
cumulus b. form near the ground; flat layers
cirrus c. form at low elevations; resemble cotton puffs

15. Match the type of cloud to its description:
stratus a. form at high altitudes; mainly made of ice crystals
cumulus b. form near the ground; flat layers
cirrus c. form at low elevations; resemble cotton puffs

16. How can hail form even when the temperature is above freezing?

17. How can hail form even when the temperature is above freezing?
It forms in the tops of tall clouds and builds in size as it moves through the cloud before it drops to the ground

a. high pressure system
b. warm front
c. cold front
d. low pressure system
e. partly cloudy skies
