- Q1
Climate
The condition of Earth's atmosphere at a particular time and place.
A thin layer of gases surrounding Earth
The average weather conditions in an area over a long period of time
a measure of the amount of water vapor in the air
30s - Q2
Temperature
A state of matter with no definite shape or volume
a usually brief, heavy storm that consists of rain, strong winds, lightning, and thunder
A measure of the average energy of motion of the particles of a substance (which tells you how hot or cold something is)
Any form of water that falls from clouds and reaches Earth's surface.
30s - Q3
convection current
a usually brief, heavy storm that consists of rain, strong winds, lightning, and thunder
The average weather conditions in an area over a long period of time
a current caused by the rising of heated fluid and sinking of cooled fluid
pellets of frozen rain that fall in showers from cumulonimbus clouds.
30s - Q4
Hail
a measure of the amount of water vapor in the air
Phase change of a substance from a liquid to a solid
A state of matter that has a definite volume but no definite shape.
pellets of frozen rain that fall in showers from cumulonimbus clouds.
30s - Q5
Humidity
The change of state from a gas to a liquid
a measure of the amount of water vapor in the air
A measure of the average energy of motion of the particles of a substance (which tells you how hot or cold something is)
The average weather conditions in an area over a long period of time
30s - Q6
Why does cold air sink?
It gets more dense (the particles get closer together)
It gets less dense (the particles spread apart)
Cold air does not sink
30s - Q7
What happens on the ground the affects air particles?
Sun's energy never hits the Earth.
Sun's energy hits the Earth, which warms up the air around the ground. This makes water on the ground evaporate.
Air particles start dancing because they heard a new song that they like.
Air particles evaporate but scientists do not know why.
30s - Q8
Why does warm air rise?
Warm air rises because it is less dense than cold air
Warm air rises because it is friends with the clouds
Warm air rises because it is helium
Warm air rises because it is always inside a balloon
30s - Q9
What happens to air and water vapor high in the atmosphere?
it makes an instagram story
it warms up
it changes color
it cools down
30s - Q10
Besides water vapor, what do clouds need in the atmosphere in order to form?
Clouds need very warm weather in the atmosphere in order to form
Cloud Condensation Nuclei (CCN), aka Cloud Seeds
Clouds don't need anything else to form
