there are 3 different types of clouds that I
learned about
clouds are made up of tiny dust particles,
ice crystals, and water droplets
clouds have precipitation and they fall as
Rain, Snow, Sleet, or Hail
Stratus clouds are flat and featureless,
appearing as layered sheets.
Cumulus clouds are puffy, like cotton
floating in the sky.
Cirrus clouds are thin and wispy,
appearing high in the sky.

There are 4 different types of Frontz that I learned about
Cold front- it forms when a cold air mass moves under a warm
air mass- they bring heavy rain, thunderstorms, and
sometimes snow- the color of the front is Blue
Warm front- it forms when a warm air mass moves up and
over a cold air mass- they bring rain, drizzle, and sometimes
clear weather- the color of the front is red
Stationary front- it forms when 2 air masses meet and do not
want to move- they bring clear weather- the color of the front
is red and blue
Occluded front- it forms when 2 cold air masses move toward
each other, warmer air is between them and pushed upwardthey bring plenty of rain and plenty of snow – the color of the
front is purple

Lightning is usually produced by
cumulonimbus clouds
 Lightning can be a lot of different colors
Ex: Pink, or Blue)
 lightning strikes in seconds

the weather tool's are Wind Vane,
Thermometer, Barometer, Anemometer, and
Rain Gauge
Wind Vane is a instrument that measure's the
direction of the wind
Thermometer measure's the air temperature
Barometer measure's air pressure
Anemometer measures wind speed
Rain Gauge measure's the amount of rain
Wedge Type: easier to read with smaller
amounts of precipitation is a type of rain
gauge
Weather tools
The Sea breezes cause a decrease in the
land breeze near the ocean
 In Daytime cool air flows toward land
creating sea breeze
 In Nighttime cool air over land moves
toward the ocean which creates a land
breeze

La Nina was the opposite of El Nino
El Nino is warmer than La Nina (La Nina)
El Niño usually causes droughts in the
western Pacific
Heavier rains in the eastern Pacific
La Niña winds blow more heavily than normal
causing more cold water to rise
Spread westward across the Pacific.
La Niña cause a slight dip in the jet stream
Brings colder weather to North Carolina.
