| What does a barometer measure? | air pressure |
| Which type of pressure tells us that we will have fair weather? | high pressure |
| What is the process in the atmosphere of what happens once condensation falls for it to turn into snow. | If condensation falls through warm air it's still rain. If it falls through cold air it turns into snow. |
| How and where is fog formed? | It is formed near the ground . When warm air is cooled it causes fog. |
| How many types of clouds are there? | There are three main types of clouds: cumulus, cirrus and stratus. There are 10 types all together. |
| What are the factors that cause wind. | uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun. |
| What happens in an inversion? | Inversion happens when a layer of cold air gets trapped beneath a layer of warm air. An inversion happens and it causes smog. |
| The Earth's rotation causes wind. If the Earth did not rotate what do you think would happen to the wind? | You would have a continuous flow of wind from north to south. |
| How does a tornado form? | First a thunderstorm has to happen along with a cold front. A tornado over water is called a water spout. |
| How does a hurricane form? | A hurricane can only develop where there is warm air over over warm water (the ocean) |
| What is a front? How is a cold front formed and what type of weather does it bring? | A front is a line where two air masses meet but they don't mix. A cold air mass pushes the warm air massup quickly, rain and thunder. |
| What is an anemometer? | a weather instrument that measures wind speed. |
| Describe cumulus, currus and strarus clouds. | cumulus are puffy like cotton balls. cirrus are whispy ones. Stratus apread across the sky like a blanket ( rain or snow is coming) |
| Weather travels from (west to east) or (east to west.) | West to east |
| How is humidity measured? | It is measured by the amount of water vapor in the air usuallu referred to as a %. 100% humidity means it is about to rain or it is raining. |
| How are clouds formed? | By water droplets forming around particles of dust |
| Low pressure means (rain) or (snow)? | rain |
